this is what I am referring to. Hard not to see the special interests in this particular piece of legislation. Its gross.

You only get this HUGE tax writeoff when you buy a vehicle that weighs 6000 lbs OR MORE. In other words if you want to buy an efficient car, forget it.

Tax cut could aid SUV market
Write-off increased for business owners


JEFF PLUNGIS GANNETT NEWS SERVICE
WASHINGTON -- President Bush's economic stimulus plan could triple the size of a little-known tax loophole that some small-business owners are using to finance purchases of large SUVs.
One of Bush's proposed tax cuts would raise the amount small-business owners -- including doctors, lawyers and financial advisers -- can write off when buying an SUV for business purposes, from $25,000 to $75,000.

Several consumer groups and lawmakers have raised concerns about the fairness of the provision. The debate signals more trouble for a vehicle segment crucial to Detroit automakers, whose profits have been sustained by the SUV boom over the last decade.
