A tax exemption is not a subsidy.

The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition, disagrees with you.

1. Monetary assistance granted by a government to a person or group in support of an enterprise regarded as being in the public interest.

2. Financial assistance given by one person or government to another.

Tax breaks are monetary or financial assistance. Having ethanol users not pay their fair taxes for the roads on which they drive is something we can agree to disagree upon.

Hmmm...those words set off my Liberal Detector.

LOL. Surely you must be joking. A tax exemption fits neither of those two definitions. It is neither "monetary assistance granted" nor "financial assistance given." Do you really want to call government NOT taxing something (for a change) a GIFT?!

And to think, earlier in the thread, you had the gall to compare me to Bill Clinton because of the way I define words? LOL!
