False choice? I would have termed it an illustration.
The cost is usually about 25% over and above salary. In this instance, the income would represent taxable W-2 income, so there would be some recapture through FICA and Social Security withholding.
However - that's all beside the point. However the money is spent, it would be spent on Americans and their direct needs instead of on foreign governments and citizens. Furthermore, there is the possibility of not spending it at all, thus reducing the deficit.
Any thoughts on why I should be pleased to spend my $12.52 on them instead of on tacos and coffee for me and some friends?
