Now, do you want to talk about my subsidizing your raising children
(tax deduction for children)? ;-)

A tax credit or tax deduction is *not* a subsidy. I'm only getting back
money I shouldn't have paid in the first place...but it's still my money.


Of course a tax credit or deduction is a subsidy. You need a better
dictionary.

A tax credit is a subsidy? No more so than if you overpay any private
sector entity. It's my money, they are simply giving me back some of
my money. If you paid your car insurance, and after you sent the
payment in, the premium went down, so they send a portion of that back
to you, would you then say that the insurance company is subsidising
your next road trip?
