What an excellent argument!

At least tuition tax credit, or kid credits, or whatever, have some kind of basis in something valid.

You know what that "some kind of something or whatever" thing is? It's called an incentive. It's an incentive to buy a house, an incentive to go to school, or an incentive to have kids. You could even call it a reward. I don't really care. Point is you either have a problem with all tax credits/incentives or none of them at all.

But a tax credit for buying an EV? Please. The one and only reason that tax credit exists is because EVs are a product that can't compete based on their own merits. Ergo, they should just fail in the marketplace...until such time as such a product *can* be made that *can* compete on it's own merits.

A tax credit for buying a house? Please. The one and only reason that tax credit exists is because buying a house is not a great financial decision as opposed to renting. Ergo, home builders should just fail in the marketplace... until such time as a house is cheap enough that it is a stronger financial alternative to renting.

Or... simply replace "buying a house" with "going to school" or "having a child." Your argument is ridiculous and is void of all logic or reason. You just don't like fuel efficient vehicles, for whatever ridiculous reason. Probably because reporters on Fox News told you not to.
