    I will never understand why lowering the mortgage interest deduction would hurt the middle class. A million dollar home, I don't care where you live, might not be a palace but it means you're filthy stinkin' rich. Set it at the jumbo limit.

      You have a pretty strange definition of working class if it includes a lot of people with a half million dollar mortgage.

        This is not true everywhere.

        I grew up in a standard ranch house -- 4 bedroom, 2600 sq ft, 1/2 acre, in a suburb 35 miles from the city. My father paid for it with a 30-year mortgage on an engineer's salary. It's middle class. He bought it for $25k in 1962 and now it's assessed by the country at $850k. It will sell for over $1M when my Mom passes someday.

        I'm actually OK paying a higher cap gain on it because it will screw my siblings, which I will enjoy. And I am OK going over the mortgage interest deduction limit and having to pay more because we all need to pay for those less fortunate. But it's not "rich," by any means. My family didn't in any way live high on the hog -- we weren't able to take lavish vacations. The only real "luxuries" were our educations, and those were primarily financed by my Dad's forward-looking and putting away bonds from the time we were born.

        I know this sounds insane if it's $300k for the same house in MN, but it is what it is. As with SALT, location is everything.

            Should someone in Minnesota have to subsidize the cost of a house in NY though? Subsidizing mortgage interest was a mistake to begin with and I think $400K or so should be the limit.

              May as well ask the same question about SALT.

              Like I said, I'm in favor of taxing the hell out of the upper middle class if the money goes to the lower middle class and the Poors, and if we soak the wealthy even more. I'm all over it.

              But it's not "rich." Rich means you labor for pleasure or ideals, not work for the slavery of need. If I were rich I would not have "worked" a day in my life.

                            Read somewhere that Roy Moore is going to start learning to play the guitar. The first chord he'll learn is A Minor.

                              From Elizabeth Warren's Facebook. Read it and tell me the parties are the same.

                              Mitch McConnell wants to delay seating Alabama’s new senator – Democrat Doug Jones – until after the Republicans jam through a final vote on their tax scam. When Massachusetts shocked the country and elected a Republican to the Senate seat Ted Kennedy had held for years, Democrats delayed a final vote on the Affordable Care Act until after Scott Brown was seated. The GOP should listen to the people of Alabama, respect the democratic process, and do the same now.
