Fact is that the tax credits are already "unfair" in that regard.

That doesn't mean we need more unfair tax credits.
To be fair, farm tax credits are more appropriately compared to other business tax credits, which are a different thing altogether from personal tax credits. As for the transit use tax credit you refer to, I'm unaware of what that is, but it sounds like it might be a municipal tax credit, in which case it too is different that a personal tax credit. Personally, I think that personal tax credits should be equally accessible to all tax payers, and the presence of already existing unfair tax credits is rationale to support more unfair tax credits.
