obama has talked about ending the mortgage interest deduction, I doubt it will happen before election day but he has talked about getting rid of it.
We have really different ideas of what is fair. So let me ask
If 4 guys who went to high school together met for dinner, one became a janitor, another a teacher and one a doctor, the 4th ended up on welfare
They each ordered meals and drinks
When the bill comes should it be paid like this?
The doctor pays 95 percent of the bill
the teacher pays 6 percent
the janitor pays 4 percent
and the doctor gives the one who ended up on welfare 5 percent to buy dinner at home
To you is that a fare deal?
That is kind of how the current system works.
Now If I were a doctor and went to dinner with old friends, Id just happily pay the bill but I would be unhappy if my friends expected me to pay it and if one of my friends wanted money to take home to boot.
