I got 22 dollars for property tax..Irrelevant. The mortgage deduction is a handout. Your ability to go into debt does not deserve a handout from the government.
It encourages personal financial growth, you know improving your life, by yourself?
Homeownership is essential to our success...
Wrong. It is nothing more than a handout because home owners and future homeowners are a powerful lobby.
It rewards indebtedness as opposed to savings and paying as you go.
It's right and if you're too stupid to understand it, no surprise...
So let's assume you have or had a mortgage, are you telling me you didn't deduct the interest? Did you deduct your property taxes?
