I sure took the EV tax credit. I hate it because I hate government messing with the market. Also it raising the prices consumers pay (just like subsidies raise the prices of tuition and medical etc). I also take the mortgage tax credit even though I wish we had fair tax or flat tax (no credits). But until I win that argument I’ll take whatever credits and debits I can.
We do, too (mortgage deduction). I hate government market distortions, but, if they are there, we grab them.
