Kevin Williamson wrote that article, not me.

You see no difference between the home mortgage deduction and getting all kinds of special tax breaks to build a casino or retrofit an old building?  Because OTHER people are crony capitalists doesn't mean Trump ISN'T one. 

I don't see much of a difference between the mortgage interest deduction and special tax breaks handed out for other reasons.  There is no earthly reason that is even mildly rational that would justify the deduction for home mortgage interest.

Not many years ago, all kinds of interest were deductible, not just home mortgage interest.

The logic of favorable treatment of home ownership costs through the tax codes, was a stimulus to our economy. It was and is felt that is a useful means of building communities, families, etc. And it provides a lot of jobs.

If we are going to strip our tax codes to the bare bone, no special treatments of any kind for anything, lower rates, I could live with that.

But too often a good idea when actually implemented turns out differently.

For instance I think voters will punish Cruz and Paul, for the reckless opposition to gathering intelligence on terrorism by all means possible.  It is an idea which in theory, in peacetime has appeal. But in today's real world it stinks.

Removing the tax incentive from home ownership, could reduce demand, and hurt the economy.

sinkspur is still ignoring my yes or no question.   :pondering:

This is getting comical.

sinkspur uses liberal talking points to bash Trump for legally taking tax credits on a privately-funded $200m construction project.   :silly:

Sink spur you wanted me to ask you in public, so yet again I'll do it.

Are you for or against federal tax credits for privately-funded new construction projects that replace or renovate existing run-down structures?

Hey sinky, how many jobs have you created in your life with your own money funding the project?

Would you have insisted to pay the extra $40 million in federal taxes?   :silly:

I'm amazed at how obsessed you are over this. 

I haven't created any jobs at garish casinos that fold up after three years.

But then wouldn't it be even better if we had a tax credit for everything else too?  Every time I spend a dollar at McDonalds, that helps the workers behind the counter, the guy who owns the store and the farmers and ranchers who grow the food.  If I got a tax credit for eating at McDonalds I would eat there more often, and that would help all those people even more.

Wouldn't it be better if we had a tax system that did not require huge investments of time and labor just to comply with and that would allow anyone to start or expand a business without having to first consider ANY tax implications?

You won't answer the question.  Gee, wonder why?   :silly:

How many jobs has Marco Rubio created?  Don't count the jobs for illegals that he is a proponent of as he wants them on a path to citizenship.

I just find it funny that you took an obviously liberal stance and criticized Trump for following the law.

Do you pay more taxes than you're obligated to pay?

I pay more taxes than you make in salary.  I'm very sure of that.

I didn't realize the Jebbie  paid his internet trolls that well.  It's obviously not paying off for him.   :silly:

You're a bit of a flake.

Claiming to be a Rubio fan is a nice touch, I have to admit.  Two birds/one stone.  Bash the hell out of Cruz and Trump while looking like a raving loon, and say you support Rubio so your lunacy can be associated with him.
