The caveat is that it has to be easy for people to find it and buy it without jumping through hoops. If you gotta jump through hoops just to buy it, you might as well jump through hoops and get it for free.

There will also be people who abuse it for nefarious means as well. Even if purchasing is easy.

They of course use these 2% to justify vilifying the rest though.

This is the method that is used to justify cutting welfare benefits for poor people.

Too bad they don’t see the hypocrisy of them doing the same with tax loopholes.

Yes. Corporate welfare is good for the country, human welfare is bad. /s

Reminds me of everyone pirating the Mass Effect trilogy through 2015 until the remaster released because it was literally the only way to get all three games, with all of the dlc.
