What the heck is Sealevel talking about with that tax loophole? I am a farmer, and I've taken a writeoff for my equipment, but only because I can prove it's directly used in crop production. City boys aren't legally writing off their Hummers as farm vehicles. And I don't see too many folks pulling hopper wagons around with them, either. Can you cite a reference for that claim? I took a write off for my '95 Dodge Ram 3500 (it's a farm truck) but not my wife's Sebring or the Crossfire (Not farm vehicles). And if you tried doing it for an H2 (or H1) I bet you'd get audited. And if you did get away with it (as perhaps some folks have) is that any worse than some of the shenanigans liberals pull with their tax dodges? Doesn't excuse it, but the earlier comment regarding throwing stones from glass houses applies.

By the way, and it's just my opinion that you're free to disagree with, but we'd have all the tax dollars we'd ever need if we cut out all the entitlement programs that squander hard-earned money by giving it to lazy/stupid people. I'd rather buy another B-2 than give one more penny to the National Endowment for the Arts or Welfare.

And if invading Iraq, emptying Saddamm's torture chambers and changing regimes in cesspool middle eastern countries will lower my cost for diesel fuel, then BOMBS AWAY!!!

Oh yeah and Hummers are cool. I wish I had one. I prefer the H1, though. :P
