I'm so confused. Why is it immoral to have tax cuts to provide shelter for the middle class, but not immoral to have tax cuts so the rich can have 3 megayachts instead of 2?

Why is it moral to allow the poorest taxpayers to subsidize property-owner tax deductions?

  I didn't realize that the owners of 3 megayachts are considered the poorest taxpayers.

    Why should anyone without property pay the taxes of those with property? If I buy a rental property with a mortgage, I then extract rent from citizens as they then subsidize my mortgage payments. I mean, a good deal for me, but not for the renters!

      SALT deductions are not the same as deducting interest as an expense for a rental property. If you removed SALT entirely then landlords would still get the benefit.
