I agree with everything else you said Chris, but not this one. Homeowners generally pay more in property taxes, especially compared to apartment dwellers. Most homeowners probably pay more income taxes than renters as well. By the gubmit letting me keep more of my money (tax writeoff on home loan interest) I'm not getting subsidized by renters. They don't pay more, because I don't pay as much. Me personally, I pay more in taxes than the average family of four in the US even earns.
