The Luxury Tax that expired in 2002 did that. The auto companies, and UAW couldn't wait for that to expire. The same with luxury boats. All it did was send small companies into bankruptcy and cost workers jobs.

Solar and Wind showed promise. Reagan dismantled both programs. That was a mistake. We went from first in both fields to way back. every kilowat produced by that means is 5 cents the Iranians wouldn't get.

And its funny that environmental groups are now suing companies to keep them from building new wind farms. Solar requires too much space for large scale usage. And for the US that nickel is most likely going to our Canadian friends, Mexico , Saudi or Venezuela. Thats the top 5. We don't import from Iran.
