Subject: Mortgage interest rate deduction Comment: I am asking that you decide against a reduction in the limit on mortgage interest that homeowners can deduct from their taxes. Homeowners see this as one of the major benefits of owning a home. I think this will end up hurting the economy in the long run. It could deter people from buying homes, and real estate has been a driving force in the economy for the past few years. I, as a homeowner, urge you to oppose this idea. |
