A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc.

I'd like to see the math on that.
That’s because it’s generally false. It’s only correct under certain circumstances like being in the house flipping game, etc. and likely requires you to have a tax lawyer.
Paying a mortgage generally costs more than the deduction.
Doesn’t everything cost more than the deduction unless the tax is more than 100%?
You’d think.
But it gets weird when you are doing a lot of business because other factors come in that DO NOT APPLY to normal homeowners.
That’s the only reason I qualified with any exception which is the inverse of what op was doing.
