Where did I say I DIDN'T know that.
Notice the part where I said I hate ALL Subsidies? I don't pick and choose which I hate, I hate them all. And yes, things are very black and white. Subsidy, no subsidy. I think that's pretty black and white. Don't do them. Period.
The Federal Government should have nothing to do with a company succeeding. I mean seriously... what kind of company goes.. "Our business model only works if we get a 20% subsidy from the government".
As for tax rate.. We are among the highest in the world. if we reduced it, and got rid of tax breaks, we would see a net increase in tax from them.
Here is the thing. I understand you would love it if everyone richer then you paid their "fair share" and all. But getting rid of these stupid tax breaks for everyone would be a good thing. A rich person doesn't need a tax break for buying a home. maybe a poor person could use it, but it still shouldn't be there. "Congrats for buying the home, now your neighbor will proceed to pay part of your taxes until you sell the home!" Explain to me how that makes any sense at all.
Most of the people ~I~ know that live paycheck to paycheck live in apartments or rent. So not sure how a subsidy for buying a home helps them, they are just subsidizing someone else.
Hmm.. Never said anything about me being republican. Go Figure. I think both parties are shit. I believe I have said that enough. Not that I expect you to understand the difference.
