Out of interest, what economic research are you referring to? I think the issue you describe could be avoided by using a Georgist taxation paradigm. Essentially stop taxing income and tax land value instead. This helps poor people keep more of their paycheck and socialises rental income from landlords without disincentivising investment in the rental. The political feasibility of tax reform on this scale is the main issue.
