If the federal government makes any 'adjustments' negatively affecting the home mortgage deduction, you will see a mass revolt in this country.

I'm not holding out much hope that anything would motivate that. As long as people have TV sports and Doritos, they'll take most government intrusion and robbery with a big smile on their faces.

You're right: with so many people already overextended in their home mortgages and a potential housing bubble about to burst, this could be a match thrown into the vapored gasoline of anti-tax resentment.

I doubt it - the time for people getting angry has long passed. They'll accept it like the good citizens they are (not everybody, but most - they'll complain, but they'll still pay, because nobody wants jail time or to have their property taken away).

The sad thing is, we WON'T see a revolt. I think we NEED one but average people just don't care enough.
