"simply money the govt is not collecting"

BZZZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTTTTT....wrong.

The collecting to pay for OTHER entitlement programs is picked up by the taxpayer. It's simple wealth re-distribution at taxpayer expense, where a lobbyist interest gains a "credit" (which means THEY don't get taxed), but to fund this shortfall, taxpayers get gouged somewhere else.

Follow the money, and EVERY sudsidy is a payoff, no different than the Global Warming scare to provide interests with a Carbon Cap+Trade market, stadiums to be built/subsidized by tax incentives, businesses to be located with tax breaks, etc. In EVERY case, their burden on infrastructure, their lack of contribuiton to taxes that would be used for tax-based entitlement programs, etc. is offset by taxpayer raping.

Not following the logic here. Just because a wind developer pays less tax doesn't mean somebody else necessarily pays more. You're arguing that $1 less sent to the US treasury means somebody else is charged some incremental $1 somewhere else?

When Bush lowered your tax rate, let's call it a tax credit on the revenue of "traditional1, inc.", did somebody else get charged more?
