California taxpayers could shell out more than $21,000 for each “poor” person to drive a Nissan Leaf.

Hilarious. I guess the govt' will also pick up the tab for the artificially high electricity bills it will cost to charge this loser car up.

BTW, the poor isn't going to take a car, even if it is free, if you can't slip 20's on it.

I want to know why the Leaf and not the Chevy Volt after all it is Obamas choice for moonbats everywhere
