Mr. PAUL. Madam Speaker, I rise to introduce the Property Tax Deduction for All Act,
legislation making the property tax deduction
an above-the-line deduction. This simple
change makes the property tax deduction
available to homeowners who do not file an
itemized tax return.
2007 Ron Paul 105:2
The Property Tax Deduction for All Act will help millions of Americans who struggle with
high property taxes, but because they do not
itemize, are unable to take advantage of the
Federal deduction for property taxes. Extending
the property tax deduction to all homeowners
will especially benefit senior citizens,
whose homes often are the major part of their
wealth, and young families struggling to cope
with the costs of owning a new home. I respectfully
urge my colleagues to help ensure
all homeowners can take advantage of the tax
deduction for property taxes by cosponsoring
this legislation.
