If he bought a home through hard work, I’m fairly certain he’s aware that he’s paying taxes through the nose to support these programs as well. I know I am.

Get off your high horse about the government charitability towards homes, the government didn’t provide these programs out of its own back pocket, our tax dollars provide these programs.

Dude. Home ownership is one of the most tax advantaged investments in the US. Rather than telling me to get of my “high horse”, why don’t you get of your Austrian economics horse and point to a more tax advantaged investment and we can chat? Can’t? No, because it does not exist unless you’re into carried interest territory.
