Subject: mortgage interest deduction

Comment: mortgage interest deduction is one of the "pluses" of home ownership. To take this away would jepordize all the facets of real estate, banking, financial and building industries, as well as impact on the ability to purchase and own a home. I can see no purpose in eliminating this deduction other than to hurt the wallets of homeowners at all levels.
