Spurlos Versenkt Here are examples of how the poor do *not* get the most benefits: Try opening a back account with $200 vs. $20,000. The $200 acct. holder pays a monthly fee, with additional fees due to "excess" transactions; the $20,000 acct. holder has no fees, unlimited transactions. Let's look at homeowners: they get a mortgage interest tax deduction. Do renters receive tax deductions? LOL, of course not. How about the wealthy who make money off their money, not their labor -- i.e., via investments and capital gains? Their tax rate is lower than a secretary whose income is solely through hourly wages.If you think NYC's public housing is a glorious "benefit," you haven't been to one of the buildings. The cynic in me thinks it's a way to warehouse low-income workers in proximity to their wealthy employers. Yes I know, there are now many unemployed tenants. But the reality is that a purely market-rate system would result in much of the city's labor force needing to leave the city.
