To Pangaroo’s point, and the “nothing is free”. point of view, I’ll play devils advocate for a moment here…………

Of course everything needs to be paid for, and the primary source of funding is through the taxes we pay. Much of the money we pay in taxes goes to the common good of society. Take for example the environment, clean air, and water. We all benefit from having both, and the government is heavily invested in seeing that we have both, or at least they did in the past.

An argument can be made that solar energy benefits all of us by keeping the air and water clean. Additionally, it will likely help tremendously in keeping our planet healthy, much lower health care costs associated with both, and many other benefits.

Pangaroo’s thought of providing free solar would need some massaging so that more could take of advantage of it, but that would be another discussion for another day.

Problem is society is made up of so many people who don't own homes and who seem to always get the short end of the stick when it comes to subsidies.

Landlords are not going to lower the rent because they're saving on electricity. The saving benefits the landlord.

Much of the money we pay in taxes goes to salaries and lifelong benefits of Cops and politicians and other public employees who complain the most about socialism without admitting they are 100% the biggest beneficiaries of socialism 😉😉

Not everything the government spends money on is socialism.

Correct
When cops and firemen benefit from it, and Mr McConnell gets 92 days of paid days off its called EARNED
When anyone else benefits its called socialism, a handout, milking the system, communism, etc 😎😎😎😎

Socialism is an economic and political system where the community or the government owns and controls the major means of production, distribution, and exchange instead of private individuals.

If you are talking about Mitch McConnell, well, no true love of mine, but an American hero none the less. Anybody know why??

I am going to tell you anyway and nobody is stopping me.

So, blah blah blah, as it relates to blah blah blah. For the years it happened, blah blah blah and double blah blah blah. And finally, blah blah blah.

Therefore an American hero!
