Why should there be a cap and income phaseout on student loan interest deductions?

In my opinion, there should not be caps on anything productive that we allow deductions for.

When you want to tax high-income people at a higher rate, have the courage and forthrightness to simply raise their rate; don't do it via the backdoor complexity of phaseouts.
