Interesting idea but its not discrimination in this country unless based on gender, race/ethnicity if your a minority, or u have a physical or mental handicap. I guess renters could be considered a minority.... But thats a long shot and a lawyer would probably laugh at you.

In the same way, you cannot actively discriminate between owners and renters.
It's not discrimination. Any renter can become an owner.

So, you’re saying a gay person should become straight in order to get married?
Huh? No--I'm saying a gay person can't become straight. That's why they have a discrimination case.
But really--can't you see how ridiculous this idea is? Could I sue the government if I didn't have kids? Taxpayers with kids get a break, after all...

this is not about protesting tax breaks like morgage interest rates deduction ..
This is about,
- oh you lost your job
- here is more money to cover mortgage payment
- in addition to unemployment insurance
how about renters get a break,
- here is additional money for your rent, b/c you lost your job
I know, crazy.. but why not :-)

For never-ending programs to 'job less home owners'... how about 'job less renters' ?I am sure some class-action-lawyer can find the logic on 'discriminating based on type of dwelling' .
