Take One For The Team: Mortgage Tax Deduction

Yeah, I'm willing to eliminate the mortgage tax deduction.  Yes, it would be a financial hit to me personally.  However, in return I would want some sort of financial accountability from the government (local, state, and federal) that they were actually spending money on worthy causes rather than spending on their cronies (Michael Allen cough, cough).   Taxes are wasted by giving $ on unchallenged contracts/jobs, an all expense paid trip to the Bahamas to observe Tiger Butterflies that may immigrate here in 2055, unchecked credit card expenses, and padding their own retirement accounts and voting themselves raises while others are suffering cuts.

Put your money where your mouth is, government.  You want more?  Of course the government does.  The government is an insatiable beast.  Government wants us as taxpayers to fork over more?    Of course they do.

Hint to top government officials:  You bleed first, then we will believe you.   Lead by example.

Yeah..... I see you scurrying under the rock trying to avoid this topic.
