    Hummers fully tax-deductible this year

    Washington Post

    "'Allow me to introduce you to a fabulous opportunity,' Chris Thorpe, a sales representative for Hummer of Alaska, writes in a promotion letter. 'A tax "loophole" so big you could drive a Hummer H2 through it!

    Imagine being able to purchase the #1 large luxury SUV in America today ... and receive a deduction for the entire purchase amount from your taxes this year!

    Thanks to the Bush administration's recent economic stimulus package, small businesses and the self-employed are eligible to deduct the entire purchase cost of new equipment up to $100,000 the year of the purchase.

    The Hummer H2 qualifies for this IRS Sec. 179 deduction by its gross vehicle weight of over 6,000 lbs.'"

          This has been around for awhile. Bush did not start this write off. He might have raised it.

                        Hmm so many single moms have to take the public bus to work nowadays youd think they would have some kind of thing set up for single families who may need a car for school and work.

                        But naaaaah, we could NEVER take care of the little man.

                            Great, more of the government's money going towards free shit for people who don't need nor deserve it.

                            If you can legally steal a hummer from the taxpayers and drive by a homeless person in it and not feel bad I feel sorry for you.

                              MANY trucks have a Gross weight over 6,000. MANY people are taking advantage of this loophole.

                                      In fact, after I read the portions of the tax code about this and feel confident I'm going to go and get myself an H2. Probably within a week or so. I'll post pics (with naked women too), but it's not like it's a Lamborghini or anything.

                                        The original hummer was somewhat classy. The new hummer is horribly ugly.

                                                          Looks like you can just deduct the full price at once instead of depreciating it. Still has to be a legit business purchase though, if you aren't buying it to use exclusively for business use you can't deduct 100% of the cost. Well, you know - technically.
