Tax incentives can be considered a tax cut, but they are a tax cut for doing what the government wants you to do. They are a method for increasing government control without actually going all the way to potentially oppressive laws and regulations. If you really want to ignore the governments desires you aren't arrested of fined, you just pay more taxes. Looked at in isolation they aren't as bad as new legal requirements, but they are still a method to increase government control, and they also make the tax code more complex and difficult to deal with. Our tax code is already an enormous mess. I really think it should be considerably less than half its current size. Only the rich and their well being concern you. I have no special concern for the rich. I don't have anything against them either. In any case I fail to see how this is even relevant to the issue. Tax credits could also go to the wealthy. Depending on how they are set up additional tax incentives might be supported by someone who's main concern was "the rich and their well being". My concern is a simpler less intrusive tax code. And more generally a higher degree of personal freedom. Tim
