             1999); Keese v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 1995-417;                       
             Christine v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 1993-473; Ross v.                  
             Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 1987-500.                                       
                  Finally, even if we agreed with petitioners that the                
             application of the alternative minimum tax produces an                   
             inequitable result in this case, it is not for us to change              
             that result.  It is well established that such an equitable              
             argument cannot overcome the plain meaning of the statute.               
             See, Sinyard v. Commissioner, ___ F.3d ___; Benci-Woodward               
             v. Commissioner, 219 F.3d at 944; Alexander v.                           
             Commissioner, 72 F.3d at 946-947; Weiser v. United States,               
             supra at 148-149; Okin v. Commissioner, 808 F.2d at 1342.                
                  Based upon the foregoing, and concessions of the                    
             parties,                                                                 
                                             Decision will be entered                 
                                       under Rule 155.
