The Road to Hell is Also Paved With Stupidity 3

In an effort to sell more electric cars and promote their "green agenda", the government has been offering taxpayers a $4,200 to $7,500 tax deduction toward the purchase of one of these vehicles. And, while, yes, there has in fact been SOME success (sales for the Chevy Volt are up, for instance), YET AGAIN, the side effects have also been palpable (bizarre might actually be a more apt descriptor)..................................................................................Get this. It seems that amongst the electric vehicles which met the government's criteria were golf carts. Yeah, that's right, folks, it seem that (predominantly) rich people were able to buy a new golf cart (average cost, $8,000) and, after taking the allowable deduction, only had to pay a couple of thousand for it, some people actually being able to secure one FOR FREE (the "Golf Cart Man" in Florida was offering a deal in which you could purchase an $8,000 golf car, take the tax break, lease it back at $100 a month for 27 months, and then you could either keep the golf cart or sell it back for $2,000 - a $2,000 profit!!!)! I mean, is that an abject waste of taxpayers' dollars or what?
