We get it, you're for less taxes and for more tax cuts. What's strange to me is that you are against government handouts such as the EV tax incentive but you are for TAX cuts that favors the rich (you can't have it bought ways). Also, that 25% pass-through tax is nothing but another handout for the rich to lower their tax rates by incorporating themselves. Btw, that source that you proudly cite is also funded by the KOCH brothers who are funding your so called TAXfoundation sources. You can bet any organization that has "think-tank" generally has some bias in their data to support their analysis.
No matter how you slice it, the EV will affect Tesla and other car manufactures who based their business model of selling a cars with EV tax incentives.
The rich already pay the VAST VAST majority of the taxes in this country, and their rate was not reduced from 39.6% by this proposed tax plan. How much more do you want to tax them?
To be direct: NO COMPANY should base their business model on subsidies. Period. Subsidies are to spur the industry, and I think the only VALID point of contention here is to argue if that has occurred or not. Tesla is certainly the dominant player in the industry, so I would argue if you continue subsidies, they should be excluded specifically and the other smaller players (not GM, not Nissan) that want to get into the industry should be eligible.
Does that work for you? Or possibly is there inherent bias in all your arguments that are pro-Tesla only and this proposal doesn't sit well?
