California And Bernie Sanders a Snug Political Fit

This Is California: Paying the Rich To Buy State-Approved Cars
California leads the country in electric vehicle sales, but it’s apparently not enough to satisfy the Sacramento meddlers. The same legislator who would outlaw gasoline and diesel automobiles now wants to increase the publicly-funded subsidy that is intended to motivate car buyers to choose EVs.
