Whenever I've suggested to an American that tax deductions on mortgage payments is crazy, they justify it, by saying taking it away would effect the economy adversely. When it gets down to it they think anything that would effect them personally would effect the economy adversely so they don't want it.
They only want things that effect the poor, or as Americans like to call them, the lazy.

actually, the majority of american's aren't opposed to tax increases. You can take either the mandate obama received as proof, or polling data that shows the same thing.
Americans are pretty overwhelmingly supportive of tax increases on the wealthy and super wealthy as well.
