Cops: Husband Faked Own Kidnapping to Hang With Pals
Rogelio Andaverde apparently really wanted to get out of the house
NEWSER) – In fairness to Rogelio Andaverde, two masked men did force their way into his Texas home and take him away at gunpoint in front of his terrified wife. It's just that police say he staged the whole thing—because he wanted to spend some time with the boys and was evidently afraid to tell his wife, reports the San Antonio Express-News. Police swarmed the scene with helicopters when his wife phoned in the apparent kidnapping, but they found no trace of him. The 34-year-old returned home two days later, saying he'd been released, but his story unraveled under questioning. He's now charged with making a false report to police. "We have people file false reports all the time," says the Hidalgo County sheriff. "But I've never had someone do it just to get out of the house."

Will this cause reductions in how much money people donate to charities? Maybe, but I doubt it will be that much.
Can you run that through KC to English translator and re-post?KC Scott wrote:I don't care about the Mortgage deduction either. Its not 100% of the interest so made no sense to have it
Especially poor people. Make sure they pay. Don't put an extra tax burden on people that actually use the government (system) like business and elites. Make EVERYONE pay. Yeah that's the ticket!Left Seater wrote:Drop all the deductions and then lower the tax rate and make everyone pay.
No one is saying the rich don't pay more. Even with a flat rate they would. Lefty has it right. Get rid of every last deduction, lower the rate for all. Well, you can't lower it for roughly half the folks out there as they don't pay a nickle.Moving Sale wrote:Especially poor people. Make sure they pay.

You want to exempt the first $10,000 in earnings for everyone? I could support that. Those that don't work clearly would pay nothing, but neither would most students, some seniors, etc, etc.Moving Sale wrote:Especially poor people. Make sure they pay.

Yes, you do. I have had primary mortgages and secondary mortgages in my life and have deducted all of the interest paid.

Thanks.
Did I really have to spell that out for you?
Yeah I wasn't sure what he was talking about there. I'm carrying a first mortgage and a small HELOC, and all of the interest is deductible.Goober McTuber wrote:

I assume it was troll bait for a KC Scott financial dick-measuring contest.Under 26 U.S.C. § 163(h) of the Internal Revenue Code, the United States allows a home mortgage interest deduction, with several limitations. First, the taxpayer must elect to itemize deductions, and the total itemized deductions must exceed the standard deduction (otherwise, itemization would not reduce tax). Second, the deduction is limited to interest on debts secured by a principal residence or a second home. Third, interest is deductible on only the first $1 million of debt used for acquiring, constructing, or substantially improving the residence, ($500,000 if filing separately) or the first $100,000 of home equity debt regardless of the purpose or use of the loan.

I'm in the 33% AGI bracket and was only able to deduct a portion of the interest paid, according to HR Block. We also get nailed with the AMT
On top of that I pay Block $800+ yearly for all this good news so I'm all for eliminating all deductions, except charity, and going to a flat tax I can do on a postcard
