Democrats propose tax incentives for electric vehicles, but ...

[Flash]

... only if they are made by unionized auto manufacturers. Of course, Elon Musk is angry:

Elon Musk is angry about a new bill that includes a $4,500 tax incentive for electric vehicles built by companies with unions

Elon Musk said Ford and the United Auto Workers union had written the bill, but he didn't offer any evidence. Tesla has historically been anti-union.

But it's what he deserves for exploiting his workers for profit! (and making the only meaningful progress toward widespread adoption of electric cars).

You are confused Moon Bat.

The people in Texas arre damn glad to get the jobs he moved from Califonria.

The Democrats are pissed that the jobs are not UAW jobs because Texas is a right to work state. The goddamn greedy UAW is one of the cash cows of the filthy ass Democrat Party.

No, I'm sarcastic. Sorry I wasn't more clear.

Musk also commits the crime of paying Tesla workers better than UAW workers and providing better benefits.

Do you happen to have a source for that?

Didn't know Tesla was anti union.

Good for them.

So in addition to subsidizing the purchase outright we’re going to reduce the taxes paid as well. This social engineering crap is ridiculous. Where the hell is the incentive to build competitive cars? These idiots are basically subsidizing competition out of the market.

Of course they are. That's the goal, really - every one of these fucking "incentives" represents more state control of the economy, something liberals get hard-ons thinking about.

They basically count on people being stupid and not paying attention. Like how they hold rallies against Walmart, then close down all the small businesses except… Walmart.

Yep. That's like the point I was trying to make in the OP - Musk, the person who's done more for the adoption of electric vehicles than anyone else (and I'm not a fanboy, it's just true), is being targeted by Dems. And the fact that they're doing it in the name of promoting electric cars is particularly perverse. They really should just stay the fuck out of it.

Sure he’s anti-union there at Tesla. He’s into union so much he pays a higher wage and other benefits, because of unions.

I am amused to see people whining about a tax deduction for cars, but I bet they don't whine about their mortgage interest deduction.

Or their child tax credits.

The government interferes in the free market through tax expenditures to the tune of $1.4 trillion a year!

Herr Himmler, would you support a mortgage deduction only for white people?

Why, or why not?

Legitimate deductions (oxymoron) don't target preferred groups.

 

[Uncensored2008]

Actually he commits the crime of unlawfully attacking attempts to unionize.

More stupidity from the Bolsheviks.

Nothing illegal about providing better compensation to keep the goons at bay.

But tell me, would you fascists make it illegal to pay better than union jobs?

 

[Uncensored2008]

Telsa pays the assembly line workers, worst!
Further, in an area where the average house is $800,000 Tesla should have a minimum wage that is $100 hr

Why not a billion dollars an hour?

 

[elektra]

Why not a billion dollars an hour?

sure, why not, $15 that Democrats suggest still wont pay for a house, food, and a car to get to work, so why not a billion. Democrats can just print the cash and stuff into the Democrat rioters pockets as they burn down America

So, you don't have a source that shows Tesla autoworkers make more than AUW union members?

Tesla Workers Contact UAW to Unionize Musk's Lone Auto Plant

“We need better organization in the plant, and I, along with many of my coworkers, believe we can achieve that by coming together and forming a union.”

In his Medium post, Moran cites “excessive” mandatory overtime and says poor ergonomics related to machinery within the factory are causing unnecessary injuries. Six of eight people on his work team were on medical leave at the same time a few months ago, he said.

Most Tesla production workers earn $17 to $21 an hour, Moran wrote. The average United Auto Workers member makes about $28 an hour, according to the Center for Automotive Research.

Sure they are. If you finance a home yourself (ie save up money and pay cash) or a relative loans you the money, you don't get the bene. You only get the mortgage deductions if you give the banksters their pound of flesh.

And child tax credits are only for low income parents.

$80,000 a year is low income? Throw me in that briar patch!
