The price of a Volt puts it totally out of the running. Car and Driver

Better deal? *Does that mean everybody should buy the one car that Car

+20,000 Volts were sold last year. *According to Forbes, the Volt "is
outselling about half of all cars marketed in the U.S."

So your "totally out of the running" is a personal opinion.

I agree the
government bribe may shade that a little but the real cost is just
being foisted off on the people who don't buy a Volt. If everyone
bought one, the rebate simply moves from your car payment to your tax
bill.

The all-electric Nissan Leaf gets more preference with government
incentives than the Volt.
And you probably meant to say "federal and state government bribes."
Many states are kicking in.

I noticed a guy in the Volt forum said he got a $6k tax credit from
Colorado to add to the $7.5k from the fed.

So the poor are subsidizing the rich. That sounds right, at least the
way it works here. They also subsidize the people who can afford
$50,000 solar PV arrays.
I am surprised the big business republicans are not really pushing
this. *but maybe they are.

No, it's the big business Democrats who are really pushing this. *Wake
up.

Robin Hood stole from the rich and gave to the poor.
In America the rich have always stolen from the poor.
They import poor people for this purpose.- Hide quoted text -

Dumb as ever. *If by "importing poor people", you mean
Mexicans, they obviously come here because there is
far more opportunity to earn money here than there is
in Mexico. *They come because it makes their life better
for them and their families back in Mexico that they send
money they earn to. *They come because it's a step UP
on the economic ladder for them. *That is how free markets
work.

Then, just like the clueless libs, you assume everything
is static. *That whoever had a low income in 1980, 1990,
2000 still has a low income today. * That of course isn't
true. *People start out at a low paying job and then work
their way up to a better job. *Or start a business. *That is how
it works, at least for those that want to get off their ass. *I just
had two painters over here to give me quotes on painting
a great room and a foyer, *$3,600 - $4,000. *Are you gonna
tell us that skill set is beyond the reach of the common
person? *I could do that job myself in a week. *Do the math
at what income that works out to.

The US economy has always relies on cheap labour.
First it was slaves. *Who had no say in the matter.

Then it was sweatshops for deluded immigrants.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweat_shop

Now it's Mexicans. *They come because the USA has destroyed their
economy.

nope we import the stuff directly from the slave labor of china

And export the jobs.........
