I Need A Hummer

Bush is now considering closing a “loophole” in the tax code which forbids me from taking a meaningful deduction on large SUVs like Hummers, Lincoln Navigators, etc. For the Prius, I get $2k. For the Hummer, I could get $33,000. That’s right. With the super-generous 7% fuel efficiency target mandated by 2005, Bush feels comfortable asking you to buy Hummers for doctors, lawyers and accountants.
