Subsidizing the rich

Of course we should subsidize this to the tune of $10,000

As part of his asinine budget proposal, the P-BO would like to offer a 10,000 dollar tax rebate for anyone dumb enough to buy a Chevy Fire Trap (aka Chevy Volt). Brilliant! We’re dead broke so let’s subsidize stupid people. What’s next, a 5,000 dollar subsidy for the cast of Jackass III? 2,000 dollars for people who spill coffee on themselves then bitch because it’s hot? 1,000 dollar subsidy for each contraption that Wiley E. Coyote purchases from the Acme Co.? Demo-Dopes have a long history of buying off stupid people (aka Demo-Dope voters).


The problem with the Chevy Fire Trap is that it’s a crummy coal burning car that catches fire, can only travel 30 miles on a charge, and costs in excess of $40K. Even with a 10K tax credit the piece of crap car will still cost in excess of $30K. Only an idiot with more money than he knows what to do with would even consider buying a crappy car that is known to spontaneously combust and arguably exacerbates the problem it was designed to contain.

A recent study of electric cars in China finds that the enviro-friendly electric cars may be causing more harm than good. And that’s not even counting the pollution spewed out into the environment when they catch fire or the enviromental nightmare that is coming when all of these dopes start disposing of worn out car batteries. I wonder if Chinaman wannabe Thomas L. My Head is Flat Friedman knows about this?

Why would Chevy Volt owners worry about any of that? Few of them as there are, the whole point of buying a volt was so that they could turn up their noses at their less environmentally conscience neighbors. So even if the piece of crap never leaves the garage, they can brag, “Why yes, I’m environmentally friendly. I own a Volt.” Never mind that they never drive it and showed up to the party in their 12 cylinder Bugatti.

Now the poor saps who invested in this coal burning piece of junk have a 3,500 pound fire bomb plugged into their garage outlet. But “poor sap” isn’t even an accurate description. It turns out that the average Chevy Volt buyer earns about $170,000 a year. The P-BO wants to subsidize these rich saps with your hard earned tax dollars. Isn’t that a tax break for the rich?

Let me break this down to the simplest terms. What kind of man lets his wife and kids travel around town in a fire bomb? Ahh yes, that kind of guy. He takes out a million in life insurance on his wife. After buying her skydiving lessons with instructor Drew Peterson, a bungee jumping package in Mexico, a SCUBA diving excursion in Aruba with some guy named Van Der Sloot, a crotch rocket motor cycle, flying lessons for his home built helicopter and a ticket for a cruise on the Costa Concordia, he says, “Uh honey, why don’t you be environmentally friendly and take the Volt today.”

The only people who are dumber that the dopes who bought this piece of junk are the people who think it’s a good idea to subsidize the piece of junk.
