Sure, it's easy to toss around reasons it's always better to be a homeowner (that mortgage-interest deduction) or it's always better to be a renter (no property taxes, and who wants to fix his own garbage disposal?).

The Senator delivered an address on the topic of "Faith, Truth and Tolerance," but it was less a personal discussion of his faith than a chance to prove that he wasn't afraid to show up in the lions' den. In a speech that went after critics in the Religious Right, Kennedy quoted Pope John XXIII's words at the start...
