I'm unfamiliar with the tax credit issue, but I can answer your safety point. In terms of the occupant death rate per registered vehicle, SUVs and passenger cars overall are practically identical. This is clear from table 2-2 of the National Academy of Sciences 2001 CAFE report. Any roll-over risk, of course, is represented in these statisticis, in proportion to its frequency.
As that table shows, the smallest, worst-performing SUVs are still better than minicars, while the largest SUVs do better than any class of passenger car. You can link to the report at

Once you figure out the implications of that table for your moralistic ranting about SUVs hazards, perhaps you'll send it to the recipients of your smug Open Letter.
