Subject: Home Mortgage Interest/Heath Deduction

Comment: I am a real estate agent who is self-employed. To take our right to a deduction for health insurance and mortgage is inexcusable. Since you are not doing anything about high gas costs, which indirectly affects everything, you just want to penalize the self-employed even more. We pay more social security tax and now you want to take away even more. I do not understand your logic.
