- $8,000 first time homebuyer credit - wealthy people buy houses
- $4,500 Cash for Clunkers - wealthy people buy new cars
- $7,500 EV tax credit - only wealthy people have $7,500 in tax liability
- 30% Solar/wind credit -only wealthy people can front the money to install these expensive systems.
Do you see a pattern here? Taxpayers paying for wealthy people to get new toys that reduce their energy costs, and boosting those wealthy peoples "holier than thou" factor. |
I do. Apparently I'm wealthy.
