>To oppose housing subsidies is to always be considered heartless, siding with the rich, etc. But you cannot create prosperity by destroying wealth. The broken windows fallacy applies here.
if we're going for soundbites, how about "current super prosperity at the top was created by destroying wealth of the middle class" :)
You have an arguable point, if you think that artificially inflated asset prices, caused by low interest rates, led to the decline in real wages for the middle class while benefitting the super-rich. Our points would then not be mutually exclusive. But I somehow doubt you're putting that much thought into it, and you just don't believe in the inherent value of market economics.
