I've left the center of my live in pursuit of a better job, and even though I earn above average wage, taxes & rent consume a huge chunk of it, because many people here live in subsidized housing.

Is that more fair?

Now I can either be poor in my home town (no good jobs) or poor in a big city, where my wage is largely consumed by high taxes and rent. Why do other people deserve a subsidized house but I don't? I want more disposable income too.
