Home Ownership "Owning your own home is America’s unique recipe for avoiding revolution and promoting pseudo-equality at the same time. To keep citizens puttering in their yards instead of sputtering on the barricades, the government has gladly deprived itself of billions in tax revenues by letting home “owners” deduct mortgage interest payments."
Florence King (b. 1936), U.S. author. “Democracy,” Reflections in a Jaundiced Eye (1989).

"Almost any man worthy of his salt would fight to defend his home, but no one ever heard of a man going to war for his boarding house”
Mark Twain quotes (American Humorist, Writer and Lecturer, 1835-1910 .
