I see this line of reasoning a lot, and find it somewhat bewildering. The people most desperately in need of subsidies are also the people who earn little enough income to pay very low taxes already, or none at all. Reducing taxes doesn't do shit when you don't make enough income in the first place. It's not a recipe for giving people in need better opportunities, just a recipe for people in less need to keep their money. Which is a reasonable (if somewhat selfish) point of view, but don't sell it as a solution that actually helps people who can't afford their housing.
