Why, pray tell, should 'home-renters' subsidize the lifestyles of 'uber-rich home owners' by allowing tax deductions of home mortgage interest payments? I'd be careful about where you want to give the IRS guys a hatchet approach to revenue. You (we) may not like what they carve out. There are a few things that the government actually does pretty well. Our ATC system has it's fraud/abuse issues, but user fees is not the answer.
Respectfully,
Respectfully,
The Simpson-Bowles commission recommended doing away with the mortgage interest deduction. Believe it or not I'd be okay with that, provided other loopholes/tax breaks were similarly closed, tax rates in general were lowered and everyone paid income taxes, even if at a low rate. Everyone needs to have some "skin in the game".
By the way, renters don't directly pay property taxes, yet those renters with children go to the local schools. Aren't the "uber rich homeowners" subsidizing those children's education?
BTW, the home mortgage interest deduction is not absolute. The deduction phases out at higher income levels, providing a greater tax benefit to lower- and moderate-income earners.

I read somewhere that when Leon Panetta was offered a job by Obama (Head of CIA or SECDEF, I can't remember which) he got Obama to agree that he could fly home to California every weekend in a government jet. And he didn't pay a dime for it. That's a heinous waste of taxpayer money.

But the money paid out from the corporation in the form of dividends has already had taxes paid on it! Why should it be taxed twice?

With home renters, you better believe you are paying for the property tax. I have a few rentals and the rent I charge includes the property tax, so someone else pays it for me.
