No that just changes who pays for it.
The opposite rule to taxes, concerns subsidies. If you subsidize anything, you get more of it. Witness “free” health care.
No you actually get less of whatever is subsidized. Bad money chases out good money. Health care availability actually decreases.
Whenever something is free, or close to it, demand will go through the roof.
Correct and that is also why the above points are also incorrect.
Tread carefully through that mine field. As I remember, the Federal Gooberment began subsidizing the production of illegitimate children during Johnson's Great Society.
As most FReepers know, what gooberment subsidizes, gooberment gets. They subsidized illegitimate children and got a bumper crop of the little bastards.
