Non-US iPhone users aren't subsidizing anything. While the carriers in the US do subsidize phones, carriers don't just absorb that cost, it gets passed along to the end user. These arguments are kind of similar to those presented by people wanting higher corporate taxes without realizing that those costs are ultimately paid by the consumer.

Uhm... you misread my comment entirely, and then diverged into politics. I don't know how to respond, because I'm not sure what argument you're making that relates to my point.
