Democrats take mortgage deductions and charity deductions too. Churches and universities and charities will get starved out by this tax plan, and loss of the mortgage deduction for upper level earners will further depress housing. Some people on the democrat side must be starting to think it through.

The dems taking away the mortgage and charity deductions, only means that these organization will have to turn to the government for support. Thats' the whole purpose for eliminating the deductions. It will also be for all pay not just those making $250.

It will start with people making over $200 - 250K... but the deductions will be eliminated for everyone eventually. What better way for the government to control everything.
