Nope. The moment I joined the military I quickly learned that is just how life works.

It's always the taxpayer who suffers the consequences of well intentioned busybody politicians. The mile tax, ACA, $15.00 an hour minimum wage. All costs get passed on to the consumer and taxpayer.

I'm no expert but everyone want's 5 dollars more. To just write it that way using debt, it would be inflation. People should be asking why thier dollar isn't worth anything. Products have tangible value, not all of them. The price of Milk, what does it take to sell milk. Those costs are higher, not counting a tax, because it takes more worthless dollars. Not paying over 30% in taxes would be a good start for personal income.

SPC James Harsh - When subsidies are handed out by the government (which produces and sells nothing) the money comes from the taxes it levees on corporations and taxpayers. When corporations get higher taxes levied upon them they can compensate for it by one of three ways:
1 - take it out of hide
2 - raise costs for the consumer
3 - lay workers off
1 rarely happens. 2 raises our cost of living and 3 raises taxes once again and starts the whole cycle over again.
It's a self licking ice cream cone.

Many of the "unintended" consequences are quite knowable and may even be known. For example. As more fuel efficient cars were built and sold and as the cost of a barrel of oil dropped, tax revenues would shrink. Knowing exactly what the cost of a barrel of crude will do is hard to know, exactly. The impact on the average miles per gallon moving up (or down) is pretty easy to determine. If you are willing to do the work.
Most politically motivated people are unwilling to do the work/math because it might contradict their ideology. Even if we required them to do the math, math would jut be the next victim of the political process. You would see assumptions and formulas that were simply wrong in order to further the cause.
