Government freebie's are not free.....we all are paying for them some how. So the gov'mint contribution is not free anymore than Medicare Part A is free....you paid for it all your working life. " If I pay $20k and the government picks up the rest of the cost for me to have a new Corvette, than I'm still getting a freebie from the government, even if that freebie is just a large check rather than a totally free Vette." Funny that you pick that as an example......wasn't it just a couple of years ago, that the Bushies gave a tax deduction for small business that amounted to about 40K for the purchase of a vehicle for business use.....eg a Hummer. "but people don't want to stop receiving benefits paid for by someone else's taxes." That could be said to be the reason the rich are pissed that the dems want to roll back their fat tax cut from Bush...that could be called a benefit.... don't waste your time parsing this.
