  I was writing you for humor.  The way it works is I get payed.  This 
money I take home with me and give part of it to the land lord.  The 
money I give him gets taxed first.  That is taxed income.  I have payed
my taxes on that income.
  Then, after a year or so, the state of MN decides that I have been paying
the property taxes on my apartment by paying rent.  They decide to give me
back the part of the rent that went to property taxes.  I have payed taxes
on this money already.  It is just that the state was playing bank for a
while (I think I should get interest on the money).  The federal goverment
isn't going to convince me to pay taxes on that income again.
