quote:To whom besides the government (obviously), a few companies who benefit, and the small workforce that benefits (decreasingly though)? I'm not benefiting much (unless taxes are reduced as a result) from it. The industries who get less of my money because of my increased COL aren't benefitting from it. So it seems like the compensation is primarily to the government and some cronyists, in the case of increased taxes.
It's a barrier compensation.
