I was responding to all who injected themselves in that argument, not to you directly.

For those against paying taxes I'd kindly ask that you drive someone else roads, get protected by someone else's military, and ask for financial guarantees on your accounts from someone other than the government. When your business fails you have a legal system to handle creditors so they don't come to your house and kidnap you or worse. Civilized society costs money and that's the problem in America, many seem to think someone else is going to pay for it. Small business owners should be able to write down sensible expenses. $100-$150k cars that pollute the air I and our children breathe while making global warming worse don't count. I'm not even even saying they shouldn't have those types of vehicles, I'm just saying they shouldn't be subsidized. I'm also not saying they're doing anything illegal, the law is the law, but I firmly disagree with the law and believe it's harmful to our country.

I feel this particularly loophole should be closed. It's my prerogative to feel that way. The mortgage interest deduction also has negative externalities and should be reformed, but that's another argument for another forum. I just don't like the general anti-tax attitude that I was attacked with. "It's my money" is too simplistic because none of us live in a vacuum.

I really don't get it. I don't think anyone here said that they expect to receive the benefits provided by the government for free. I believe the disagreement comes in when a high-earning taxpayer is expected to subsidize those benefits you mentioned for so many that aren't paying their fair share. The average taxpayer is out about $8,500/year in Federal taxes. So how are the folks who are paying 5, 10, 20, or 30 times more than that (after their deductions) undeserving of the same government benefits that you mention? How are our cars subsidized when most of us, in addition to paying more than our fair share of Fed taxes also pay a far greater than average amount of sales tax and property tax based on the higher cost of our cars? It's time to put away the Kool-Aid and think for yourself a bit. The people who are able to reduce their taxes to near zero by claiming a Section 179 deduction probably aren't making that much money anyway. In fact, they have probably overspent if such a deduction results in them paying even the average yearly tax ($8,500). The way to solve that is not to do away with the section 179 deduction, but instead tax lower income people at a fair share rate so that they can't go out, finance a new SUV for 7 years and pay zero tax or even get a bonus from the Fed for having low taxable income. Just something to think about. |

Adam and I, for sure... (Blue / Grey)
We're researching packages now. I don't want to do exhaust but I don't mind doing an intake... Are there any that are recommended that don't void the warranty? Quote:

The blue is definitely the color that pops the most. I like looking at it the most, especially in contrast with the awesome interior options... I got the grey because I think it fits my personality the most. I'm really excited for all of us and I appreciate all of the support and nice things people are saying.

Under the new act, you get to deduct 100% of the purchase price in year of acquisition for any new or used tangible depreciable property vs. 50% under the old law. "Used" means original use of the property need not commence with acquiror but may not be acquired from related person or in a non-taxable transaction. So a big improvement in tax benefit if you can use your car for business.
