...bought anything electronic in the last 5 years? Used a cell phone? The internet? Accessed the endless list of human advancements in technologies in everything from academics (A) to zinc mining (Z) in the last 25 years?
...because tax payers are subsiding it.
How did the government spending money on good things that benefit everyone suddenly become a bad thing?
Oh right. It's green.
The true business of people should be to go back to
school and think about whatever it was they were
thinking about before somebody came along and told
them they had to earn a living.

Like tax subsidies for evil corporations or lowering corporate tax rates that benefit everyone...
Sarcasm is like a good game of chess. Most people don't know how to play chess.

It's actually tax subsidies for the evil 1%'ers who can afford to pay $100K for a car that can only go 200 Km's. The nuts and loons cry when any "loophole" is given to anybody who has the audacity to be "rich", unless that subsidy is going to pay for a useless electric car. The rich guy can afford the full price of the car, but why not give him an extra $10K of taxpayer cash anyway? It's the hypocrisy here that is just galling. Hypocrisy knows no bounds with the radical left, and it's just so wrong.

Well I'd rather penalize "evil" companies that pollute and pay media groups to smear clean energy with high taxes and then use the tax dollars to clean the air and build schools - but that means the air has to get dirty and people have to get sick in the process. Even though it would be satisfying to make the polluter pay and financially strangle the people who do, dirty air and sick people is not a good thing.
Paying Telsa a mere fraction of what it costs to clean the air and deal with sick people before it even happens in order to promote something that "benefits everyone" while the technology gets developed is the smart move.

No tax breaks for the rich.
