[QUOTE="ConstitutionCowboy, post: 3296510, member: 745"] This is not meant to be a slam on you. It's just my view (A rant?) of how the government leads us down paths we wouldn't otherwise choose to follow. That $7,500.00 tax credit is money the rest of the taxpayers have to cover. Even if it was just a deduction, it would still be money the rest of the taxpayers must cover. Even the interest paid on a mortgage is not equated to and handled like a tax credit - it is only a deductible expense extracted from gross income before the tax is calculated. To my way of thinking, if the government has to bribe people to buy a certain product, there is an agenda afoot or some other sinister quid-pro-quo deal between the government and the manufacturer. It's the government picking winners and losers. If such a product could stand on its own, there wouldn't ever be a need for incentive other than for the government to engage in the afore mentioned picking of winners and losers and/or promoting an agenda.
