That's the crux alright.
I'd love to own a hybrid car for instance, but I simply can't afford to make a statement. MSNBC: Hybrid Car's - are they worth it?
The government credit makes "making a statement" marginally more palatable but does not actually create an incentive for your average Joe (or JHC in this case) IRS.gov - Hybrid Tax Credit

Platitudes like the one you offer are no different - and no less incorrect - than the jackass part-time Christian who says, "I'm going to heaven because I'm nice to people." It so misses the point.~Impugn
