The really beautiful part is that my tax dollars will no longer go toward paying for your health insurance because you are too lazy to pay for your own needs yourself.
All the people that get their healthcare insurance through their employers, have been subsidized by all of those people that never had health care coverage through their employers for decades now.... your employers and you, have been getting a tax deduction, which is the govt helping to pay for your health insurance through federal tax dollars and state tax dollars that those people without healthcare have had to pay, FOR YOU, silly one!
Are you too ******* dumb to know the difference between a subsidy and a deduction? A subsidy has to actually be taken from someone to give away to another. A deduction means you get to keep what you earned.
are you too stupid to understand that if we have two guys, both making $50k and one is forced to pay more in taxes than the other guy, just because he doesn't carry his own healthcare insurance costs, that the govt is gifting one guy with less taxes due while punishing the other guy with more taxes due....
tax deductions ARE subsidies, if everyone does not get it....all tax deductions and favors given to one group of people over another group of people are counted as EXPENDITURES in the National budget....
And it is a SUBSIDY for our govt to let employers write off the healthcare insurance expense from their taxes....Do you think employers would pay for employee healthcare without the tax deduction?
Come onnnnnnnnnnnn!!!
I would challenge you to put that in a mathematical equasion. Man one versus man two and make sure to calculate the benefits of each.
It's quite simple, if two men both earn the same amount of money, then they both should pay the same amount in taxes.
If the govt decides, I am going to favor the guy who has health insurance and make him pay less than the guy who does not have it, or the govt decides that if a guy has a mortgage, I am going to make him pay less, than if a guy is renting, then the govt is subsidizing or favoring the one guy earning $50k over the next guy earning $50k.
if there were a ''free market'', the govt would NOT give any tax payers a break for buying health insurance or an incentive for tax payers to buy health insurance. Government interference such as this tax break, IS THE OPPOSITE of a free market.
That guy who doesn't have health insurance is paying more in taxes than the guy with health insurance, to help cover for the govt giving the guy with health insurance, a break on his taxes.
And the tax breaks are just the tip of the iceberg with the government involvement in our health care....as I said and showed you in my post, the govt is up to its eyeballs in it's involvement and interference with the Free Market....and Pandora's box was opened a long long time ago with their involvement and there is no way, they will ever get out of it now....not enough to make any kind of difference that could bring us closer to a free market where prices would be forced meet the every day Joe's needs and pocketbook.
