Mortgage? What is this thing you speak of called mortgage?

How do you get a deduction on 0% interest?

Rich folks will restructure their finances so as to preserve the tax
benefits. Poor folks can't afford 3000 sq foot houses, so this will bite
the middle class the hardest. The Democrats support is split between the
poor and the wealthy, so they don't give a crap about the folks in the
middle anyway.

So why does the "middle" vote Democrat?

Because the GOP frightened them off by getting into bed (or more
accurately, a restroom stall) with the wacko conservatives. The GOP used
to be the sane party when it had a more libertarian philosophy.
