Well, the concern I was addressing was more like if you wanted to declare a whole bunch of deductions based on volunteer work or expenses related to it. From the perspective of the general citizenry, not being able to work for yourself and using that as a motive/opportunity to work for others is the greatest of great things. From the perspective of the Federal Reserve, however, taking money from the government and using the free time it provides to earn the ability to not give any money back to the government is something that might alarm them.
