OK sure, and every other itemized deduction?
Good Lord you can be a numbskull.
Why not? They're government handouts that only certain people get, and not for doing anything beneficial.
Add child tax credits to that.
Handouts? That only works in world where one assumes the government is entitled to 100% of your income so therefore any $ they don't take is magically given to you.
Only a moron believes this.
The government WAS entitled to that portion of your tax bill until the mortgage deduction was invented.
I don't have a mortgage. I don't get my tax bill reduced. That is by definition a handout for the ones that get it.
And after the deduction they are entitled to less. That is not a handout except in leftwing loony land.

It's a handout when someone lowers your bill. It's money in your pocket for no good reason that others don't get.
Yeah, yeah.. we get it.... you're entitled to 100% of everyone elses money.
