The rich take out mortgages to take advantage of the mortgage interest deduction. Even though they could easily buy their house(s) in cash.


I don't think you really understand why the wealthy do this if you are saying it is solely for the tax deduction.....

Yeah I know they use mortgages to also have more $ for investment. But they also take advantage of the deductions. If you were to take that away I am willing to bet good money the use of mortgages by the rich will fall.

My lecturing is not any different from those that are against any kind of relief.
