That's no different than saying homeowners who didn't receive the home renovation tax credit because they didn't perform any renovations to their property were being "punished".

... which they were, because if they paid enough taxes they subsidized other people's renovations. That is exactly the type of boutique tax credit that is complete and utter garbage.
The problem with tax credits (if I understand them correctly) is they don't help the people who need them the most - those people don't pay taxes anyways.
