There was a guy who used to post here who ran a $1/$1 game. He had a dealer, and the dealer raked a single dollar out of ever pot that went to a flop. The game benefitted greatly from the dealer. And if the dealer raked $100 in a 4 hour session, it was a bargain for the players. (There was usually well over $5k on the table in this game)
That is the only circumstance where a home game rake makes sense to me.
