So automobile companies should get tax breaks alone, and not individuals? You realize you're advocating shifting the tax deduction to industry from people. I don't think Ford, GM, Toyota, Honda, etc., qualify as poor.

Again, I don't see what's "unfair" about a tax break for middle-class person. People not eligible would not be paying any more than they are obliged, they would not be penalized and be forced to pay extra, so I hardly see it as "unfair".

As far as toxic stuff goes, I can think of many toxic things in a regular automobile stuff. Brake fluid, coolant, transmission fluid, oil, power steering fluid, etc., are all toxic. More batteries will pile up in the landfill from an average automobile than a hybrid or fuel cell vehicle, those batteries are designed to last the life of the car.
