Facts About Mortgage Deduction for Californians

.

The Left LOVES taxes.  They love taxing the rich.  Yet, they are upset that those who pay more than $10,000 in mortgage interest might pay more in taxes.  Democrats are trying to have it both ways—supporting higher taxes for the rich—then opposing higher taxes.  Confusing.

Richard Rider has presented a series of stories showing the hypocrisy and why it may not even be true.  This is a good analysis of the subject.

“Furthermore, as I read the convoluted language of the bill, if a new mortgage loan exceeds $500K, the deduction is STILL allowed for the first $500K. For instance, if the mortgage balance is $600K, then roughly 5/6 of the loan interest would still be deductible.

Finally (and this one is a counterintuitive shocker), Canada does not allow an income tax deduction for mortgage interest on a home residence, and yet a significantly higher percentage of Canadians own homes than Americans. How DO they do it?
