This is kind of not true. Many people with mortgages don't qualify for the tax write off if it's less than the standard deduction. Speaking from experience.
That illustrates my point. You can't get it because you don't earn enough, but, someone else does because their income is higher.

So, get rid of the deduction all together. There's no excuse why a tax form should be large than a postcard.
