EV's are NOT America's future!

So NOW it's OK for governments to ban certain vehicles?
Governments are bribing people in an effort to force increased sales of EVs, so voters should demand a ban on all bribes (government incentives) used to support the manufacturing and sales of EVs. Removing the incentives will kill the EV market effectively resulting in a ban.
It's my money!!! don't be passing it around to one group of folks that choose to follow you like a sheep!!!
LOL, did you know what you just said??!!......That's the deomocrap theme song.......
Governments aren't "bribing people", some are giving tax incentives. A bribe implies that the government is paying you to buy an EV; instead, they simply aren't taxing you as much if you buy an EV. Since that money was yours anyway, it's not a bribe.
People that buy IC vehicles should instead demand that they not be taxed excessively for purchasing an IC car. Taxation = theft.
This is not just about EVs; this is also about "Look, I gave a crap ton of money to your election campaign, and now my 14 car dealerships don't have as much business because inflation is so high people aren't buying new cars. You need to make them buy new cars."
In this case tax incentives are bribes meant to influence car shoppers buying decision, effectively steering a segment of the dumbmasses into buying a vehicle they normally would never consider buying.
I'm pretty sure no one who bought a Cybertruck or Rivian said "Dang, I really wanted a Toyota Tundra, but with that tax incentive I just couldn't say no; I just HAD to buy the $100,000 electric truck."
The cheapest EV I could find, the 2024 Nissan Leaf, is currently around $28,000, and the 2024 Nissan Versa is $19,200. $11,200 more. So a $7,500 tax credit isn't going to offset the cost.
And of course, I just have to ask: are many of us dumbmasses since that Mortgate Interest Credit fooled us into buying houses?
And again, and this is important: The money is YOURS, not the government's. So when they give a tax credit, tax refund, or lower taxes, it's not a "bribe". It is returning money that is YOURS to begin with. We could call it a "reduction in protection money", or "reduction in theft", but not a "bribe".
And why are you so worked up about fellow Americans paying less in taxes?
