>> would you council your clients not to take a deal like that??
It is the problem with all these programs. They create incentive traps and people are able to rationalize doing something that is fundamentally, morally wrong because we all feel we've been screwed over by the system, or given no other choice, or led us to an expectation that was not fulfilled by our government or taken away our alternatives.
The problem is it is the nature of the programs to do this.
Unfortunately, Obamacare is orders of magnitude worse than these other programs, because it was specifically designed with the underlying intent to get itself established and entrenched so that it cannot be undone. It is evil, IMO, and it is my opinion that its creators, Harry Reid and Zeke Emanuel and the rest, are inherently evil for having done it. I am on the fence about Obama -- his arrogance was wrong, but I honestly think he was and is too stupid to really understand what has happened here. I certainly don't think he had the gumption to know what was happening.
Most people, like you, are just ignorant about it and you can't really say that people in general are evil. But the people who created Obamacare knowing what it was and lying to the public are, IMO, evil and should be tried for what they did.
They are not unlike heroin dealers, imo. |
