Th US government subsidizes the affluent through tax breaks, yet nobody talks about these in terms of entitlements or government spending.
Mortgage interest reduction is a prime example. Homeowners get this break, renters and unhoused obviously do not.
Some figures on US gov't spending per annum.
Families living in the bottom 20% (by income) receive about $25K.
Families in the top 20% receive about $36K.
So let's talk about handouts and who is getting them.
