Wow! Instant sub-standard products, what a great thing! They don't do the job they're needed to do for everyone.

Companies shouldn't be paying taxes at all.
And the people investing, are individuals.

The hybreds currently can't do my job. So I can't use them. So I have to pay the government because there are none that I can use to do the job I need them too. Would it be ok for a woman that uses tampons instead of pads to get a tax deduction, and men get to pay full taxes no matter what?

All the same stuff, plus the extra batteries, exist in a hybred. Hybreds still use gas BTW.
