Reply #70: I don't think they're dirt, just stupid as hell

...and maybe insecure about the size of their penises. They remind me of that commercial with the greedy guy with his dirty paw in the shrimp tray. No sense of moderation or proportion. And that tax break "for business" bullshit is flat-out egregious. The things end up costing nothing--no wonder the bastards can afford the gas, when they got the fucking car for free!!! And half the time, they aren't even using it for business....you don't actually HAVE to!! All you have to do is OWN a business.....it's a give-away to the GOP faithful, that nonsense law. Fortunately, they FINALLY tightened the loophole, but they still have a ways to go--I think they ought to require that people paint their business name on the damn thing, that would cut down on the total bullshit:

Hummer tax break gets hammered
By Jay MacDonald • Bankrate.com

One year ago, you could have driven your new three-ton, business-use SUV through a little-known tax loophole and written off the entire purchase price in the first year.

But Congress has tightened that controversial loophole for high-end luxury SUVs, though many of the rank-and-file heavyweights will still breeze through with the same 100-percent write-off in the year of purchase.

The furor all started a couple years ago when some sharp-eyed accountants and their professional clients discovered a glitch in the tax code that proved big enough to drive a Hummer through, tax free.

The tax provision's original intent back in the 1970s was to enable small farmers and self-employed workers to buy a truck or van without having to fork over the luxury car tax that was then in effect and has since expired. At the time, it made perfect sense to qualify the vehicles by weight because no luxury cars exceeded the 6,000-pound gross vehicle weight threshold.

I know a shitload of stay-at-home spouses who drive all over hell in their LEXUS SUVs, that they got "for free."
