Prime example of the F*r*e*e*p*e*r mentality

Okay, how to put this in a way that freepers would understand?

If you can afford to buy a Hummer, you can get essentially for half price with the "tax write-off" of approximately half of its value.

If you are an average person, and you donate your car to a charitable cause, the law changes 1/1/2005 to keep you from getting the "fair market value" tax deduction, leaving you with the best that the charity can get for the car at an auto auction, where, if the charity is really, really lucky, they might get somewhere in the neighborhood of what the car's "fair market value" might be. At best.

So, the "haves" get their Hummer, the "treading water"s get screwed yet again.
