What is even WORSE is that money, honestly, isn't that big a deal. It's what money represents which is important - choice.
Going back to the medical industry, which I'm very familiar with thanks to having lots of extended family members in the industry, such as a father who's a low-paid Physical Therapist, or my mom who worked for 30 years as an RN, I am very familiar with the fact that Democrat policies regulating medical care REMOVES a great deal of choice from your health care. Newer procedures - better or cheaper than the old procedures - get caught up for years, and years, and years in legislation to 'authorize' them for use in the hospitals through the medicare system, making it hard for people to get the care they want. In general, the high levels of legislation make it hard for any industry to be as flexible as it could be, since everything has to go through so much red tape to make any changes - and any mistakes are fiercely punished with lawsuits.
What's more, is the Democrat decision to flat-out remove choices altogether to 'eliminate harmful competition'. For instance, hardline phone companies, cable companies, and the like, do not have to compete with each other for your dollars with level of service and low bills - instead, they often just have to complete with each other for the government contract for your area. A government contract which is rarely based on quality of service, but instead is determined by a hueristic based on how many local minority-owned businesses the nation-wide company farms its work out to.
Or, alternatively, as we have here in Wisconsin - if you're in a government union position, you have the chocie of whether or not to be in the union... but not the choice of whether to pay union fees. People who do not want to be in the union end up paying out money to the unions anyway. And so, Democrats legislate that public taxpayer money goes to unions - which the unions turn around and give back to Democrats during campaigns.
Or, as one of Obama's first half-dozen actions in office - removing the right of free speech from Employers... by making it a federal crime to answer employees who are asking questions about unions.
