SURVEY REVEALS GREAT DISTASTE FOR PRESIDENTIAL TAX PANEL'S
PROPOSAL TO END SECOND HOME MORTGAGE INTEREST DEDUCTION
I do understand how a person who is struggling to pay one mortgage
doesn't want their tax dollars subsidizing someone's 2d home (or
yacht)
What about they hourly guys that build those yachts? What about the
hourly guys that build those houses. What about the hourly guys that
perform maintenance on the boats and houses and their contents? It might
not be fair but, it does keep the economy moving along.
I find it hard to believe that people are buying boats just to qualify for
the second home mortgage deduction.
Bingo. And if they stop buying them because the deduction is eliminated
then I guess they really could not afford them in the first place. ;-)
