The government should give tax credits to alternative energy. Except, they shouldnt give them just for certain technologies like electric cars. Conservatives are right about that, they shoukdnt be picking winners and losers. If the government picked wrong they be subsidizing an inferior technology.

The wealthy evade taxes by keeping their income very low and keeping money and source of revenue in wealth that isnt taxed.

Some of you have previously, bitterly complained that Trump was a draft dodger with a 1-Y classification during the 60s [Vietnam] for bone spurs, but did any of you know and mention that Biden had the same 1-Y classification for asthma-dodge?
