The problem is at least these people are working and trying to help themselves. If you punish them for something they may not even have done (and likely did not, because they may want to own the business someday) they will just revert to welfare and live entirely off us. Try somehting else to make your point
I agree that we need to teach them how conservatism makes their life better, not worse, or we will never be in power again.
Why is reducing one's cost considered "punishing someone"?
Ridiculous.
