For the economically stupid

[Anonymous]

1) I hate the rich!
2) Let's subsidize business/industry/organization so the poor can afford a product/service
3) Business/industry/organization sees the subsidy and immediately raises the prices to soak up the subsidy
4) Taxes on the middle class are raised to pay for the subsidy
5) Business/industry/organization profit numbers and balance sheet get better thanks to the subsidy
6) The hated rich get bigger dividends and share prices go up. Hurray! Wait... I hate the rich.
7) Subsidies are like a drug and wear off. The poor need more help! Time for more subsidies! Back to step one.

I think that describes healthcare perfectly. The hidden tax was the increase in premiums for those just-well-off enough to miss the subsidy cut off.

Obama also bumped the threshold on medical deductions from 7.5% to 10%, which is also a tax increase. Talk about adding insult to injury.

OP, you didn't lie to us. You ARE indeed economically stupid.

Now, it's going to be zero! Good luck.

I you "hate the rich", that pretty much means you hate most of the posters here in this board. Because the average HHI for this forum is probably north of $300K/yr

So you're saying you hate everyone reading your silly, indecipherable post.
