Mess with the dynamics of the market and face the wrath of the law of unintended consequences

Keeping the poor poor. This is why I advocate a free market, and why the Mormons who accuse me of not caring about the poor are ignorant. It's fine and dandy to have good intentions (guess what? Republicans actually have them), but if your methods suck, your intentions aren't worth much. Intentions do not put the Triscuit in my belly, to paraphrase a bit.
