a governments job is to pay for defense of the nation and defend it's citizens rights, not to incentivize state-sponsored morals. just because we may agree with what they are pushing now does not mean we will in the future. if the government is the one putting money behind those incentives, that means we are paying for those incentives, whether we like it or not. I'm not pushing for anarchism. I'm just not comfortable with the current DEI and "clean energy" subsidies given out currently because the government wants to incentivize that. to be ideologically consistent, I also oppose the government incentivizing things I agree with because someone else probably disagrees with it but is forced to pay for it.
