I find absolutly absurd that the Federal Government would allow rebates for Electric Golf Carts. This tax loop-hole is a disgrace. Not only should anyone not be allowed such an extravgent rebate but this tax law was the result of lobbiest promoting sales for a select few of golf cart manufactureres. There are many government officials who received the rebates for this wastful program. This program was intended for the wealthy and helped only a select few companies. Why is the Federal Government trying to give rebates to those who can afford to play golf anyway? If manufactures made affordable electric golf carts in the first place the government would not need to offer rebates. This is another example of the government picking and choosing who they want to help. Hard working taxpayers are tired of the Federal government wasting potential tax revenue to benefit a select few. These abuses of power need to be eliminated by voting out those who vote for such tax laws and take advantgage of such laws.
