Reply to comment by Rhawk187 in Many countries have a "hidden welfare state" for incumbent homeowners, as governments subsidize homeowners through the tax system. The homeownership welfare state is strongest in the US and other Anglophone countries, but weakest in the Scandinavian countries. by smurfyjenkins

The worst form of welfare is having a job. It creates false incentives to take on student loan debt for kids, and unfairly stigmatizes those who don’t work. Really the only way to escape the stigmatized imputed class war is to engage in irregular gig economy until placed in government developed housing on a long term basis with a simple job like making license plates.
