Fine. Therefore, the Federal government IS the bully who takes everyone's lunch money.
Also, if you itemize, I'm sure you'll agree that ...
1. the Federal government has subsidized every home mortgage you've ever had.
2. the Federal government has subsidized all the charitable contributions you've ever claimed.
3. the Federal government has subsidized all the real estate and other property taxes you've paid.
In summary, the Federal government has subsidized everything for which you've ever taken a tax deduction.

Yes, the Feds subsidize home ownership over renting. Most people consider high ownership to rental ratios beneficial to the community.
The Feds help subsidize charitable organizations that support communities. Many believe this reduces the support government would provide for the people served. This is not without controversy.
There is an attempt to eliminate taxing taxes with deductions for taxes already paid.
Not everything, but most.
