I wonder if the Democrats realize that it doesn't take a 'yacht' to
have a head, stove, and bed.
Hell, I had that in my 21' Proline.


If they want to do away with a second home mortgage interest
deduction, then do it for *all* second
homes.
All boats and all second homes over a certain value...that'll do it.
What if you travel around in an RV and trailer a boat?


What if you live on your large yacht and have a very big dinghy?


LOL


Eliminate all mortgage interest deductions. That'll do it better.


At least it would be fair across the board. Might not be popular and
might have a somewhat detrimental impact on the housing market. It
would probably help the rental market though.


Somewhat detrimental? Gee, you think? I think it would be fine to
eliminate it, but not now. It is yet again one of those things that
have a great deal of impact on the middle class and virtually no
effect on the rich.
