With the SALT cap at $10k and the mortgage interest deduction cap limited to $750k property value, the ultra-wealthy are not really benefitting from this as much as you are saying.
Someone with a $750-$1M home is getting roughly the maximum tax break available, and someone with a $5M home is paying for everything above that first $1M themselves* without any extra tax incentives.
*Except in California due to prop 13 many of them are paying a tiny fraction of the property tax they should be paying, but that's a separate issue.
- onlyrealcuzzo 4y agoMost "wealthy" people, by definition, are not "ultra wealthy". That's where the majority of the wealth is - but there's far better schemes to avoid taxes for that group. Home buyers buying these x10 houses are pretty much limited to the top 10% in income - the vast majority of them are not ultra wealthy.
