BGR, Why is it discriminatory to write off mortgage interest? Interest is the wage you pay to borrow money. Wages are deductible as an expense. With your reasoning employers could not take wages as an expense. How does my or anyone elses getting a tax break that someone else either cannot or chooses not to take cause them or anyone else any harm. I find it strange that someone like you who seems to trade stocks to make what some would consider obscene profits should care about something like this. In reply think you should loan people who cannot afford to speculate the money to get started. After all we don't want them to feel left out. I could use a few thousand, so let me know when I can expect my check. Only kidding but every one cannot have everything someone else has. Just ask a guy losing his hair at twenty or or someone who lost a house to foreclosure about fair. That's all I have to say on the matter.
