The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Economically it doesn't matter.
Depends on your view of the role of the government. It only matters if you think that 100% of earnings belong to them...and not the citizens.

Relieving someone of a $100 tax liability has the same economic effect as sending them $100 - so it would have the same consequence on pricing.

Nope. Relieving someone of a tax liability on income means they have more cash to spend on a variety of thing, whatever they want. Targeted subsidies only affect the thing being targeted. They're not the same, not at all.
