The Republican tax bill caps the mortgage interest deduction at $750,000 for new mortgages. In California, seven counties have average home prices that are more than $750,000: Alameda, Marin, Orange, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties. #GOPTaxScam

These also happen to be among the 25 richest counties in the nation.

Lol. Progs do everything they can to ensure that housing remains as financially unattainable as possible for the working class, and then they bitch because their holdings are so expensive.

I don't understand this portion of the bill. Mortgage Rates are different in different areas and as the mortgage is paid down, the interest diminishes. Why isn't this just a dollar cap?

If you can afford to get a mortgage of $750k, I think you can afford to eat a little interest.

I'm sure this is going to play REAL strong to the Dem base. Yeah. You know. The "little guys" they fight for.



Trump has got to be thinking to himself.

"Well, OK. I mean if you insist. Run around telling Americans how my policy likely means higher taxes for people who can afford homes over $750K!!!!"

I work with an engineer who earns probably $150k a year. His wife doesn't work. He lives in NYC. His house has no yard, a single car garage and only 1300 square feet. Value is $765,000.

It's not just the rich. Some areas of the country have property values that are just ridiculously expensive.

Dear Sen Feinstein

But I thought this tax bill was a boon for the 1%?

I am sure all the Bernie Sanders SJW's have already starting writing sympathy cards for these homeowners. Good try Diane.

They still get the deduction, but it is capped. It's not like of you house is worth more than 750k, you cannot deduct any of the interest.

Watching the Dems in these coastal states fight this plan by lamenting that their rich constituents have to pay more taxes is hilarious.

So democrats want to tax the rich but when the GOP does they cry about it ? Sounds like democrats still don’t stand for anything .

Trump and the GOP should push the hell out democrats not waiting to tax the rich . Show the voters their true colors . I would like to see what Bernie has to say about it. He can’t be against the tax plan for the rich .
