I love how they always talk about how much these things are ‘costing’ the government. It’s not costing the government ANYTHING to give this deduction to home owners–it just means that they can’t collect that much additional tax.

The presumption by some folks in government, as well as on main street, is that everyone’s entire income belongs to the government initially and anything they give you back (e.g. by reducing taxes) is a ‘gift’ that is costing them money.

I for one would probably sell my house and rent if they remove the mortgage deduction. Owning a home is expensive; maintenance costs are very high. If I lose the write off on that $28k I’m spending every year on mortgage interest that makes maintenance that much more cumbersome.

Screw it…no mortgage I don’t need to earn as much money so I can afford to take a much lower paying job….which of course means that it will probably be a wash WRT total tax they extract from me. Seems that they never consider this angle.

I hate to state the obvious…but if there were a market for fresh fruits and vegetables in these areas someone would be selling them.

Many people in the south have historically had back yard gardens year round. Not sure if this is still the case with the current generation.

[quote=PatentGuy]Obama made no secret during his campaign that he was all about wealth redistribution. He was overwhelmingly elected, so I assume people who voted for him were OK with his plans for wealth redistribution. Did you vote for him? If so, you got what you voted for.[/quote]

Which is why, as much as I hated McCain I could never have voted for Barry…
