I am to the right of Attila the Hun, but have always thought that deducting mortgage interest was “unjust”, to use one of the left’s favorite words. This tremendously benefits the wealthy who have expensive, appreciating homes. It does nothing for the poor who typically rent or own very modest dwellings, like mobile homes. This has leveled the field a little.

Your ‘poor’ don’t pay taxes and probable are subsidized by the homeowners.
