Who would choose to have prices higher and pay lower?

Spoiler
ZERO
Not everyone can take advantage of those loopholes and they get caught in the class warfare rhetoric and pay out their azzes.

The liberal kooks have a backwards sense of economics. It is really some bizarre thinking.

I dont know, you guys repeatedly vote for it...

For example, how many of you celebrate Obamacare, which costs an estimated $1.3T

Someone has to pay for it after all and the only choice for businesses is to raise costs, and cut peoples pay and benefits..

You celebrated this if I recall, while now moaning about the results, almost as if its a mystery as to whats taking place..

No he didn't. Obama's economic policies play to failures, ignorance and jealousy. They do nothing to help people.
