I’ve got a voucher plan too. It’s involves vouching for any Conservative that will try to take the place of a socialist/marxist in our Congress and White House.

It’s a bit more insidious than they’re letting on...

So you want a new Mercedes. Go to the slum in your town, buy a 1976 Ford Maverick for $400 that nobody’s using. Trade that in for the government’s $4,500 trade in.

You come out $4,100 richer.

Do they think we’re stupid?

Oh I see...so I’ll get $2-3k for a car that’s already paid off so I can saddle myself with a new auto loan for 6-10 times that amount. Let’s see who wins here: Congress, check. Auto makers, check. Dealers, check, Banks, check. Enviro-lobby, check. Consumer....bzzzzzt. Oh so close.

IS this for real?!

Ugh... I really wish all of these losers who bought vehicles, houses and other things they could not afford would just commit suicide already. Please, go jump off a cliff, shoot yourself, poison yourself. Do whatever you have to do to remove yourself from this society as you're nothing but a worthless drain on the rest of us who are trying to live within our means!

If you can afford to drive an SUV, by all means, do it... It's no one's business but your own how you choose to spend your money, but I am so sick of everyone who chooses to live large when they know they cannot afford it whining for a bailout.

They will institute eugenics vouchers which would eliminate the cost and burden of caring for the dead weight of human waste.

This would apply only to mentally defectives, those with Down’s Syndrome, Autism and the like. Those whose lives are deemed to be to costly to continue as the investment will not provide a meaningful return. The elderly, over 70, 80, 90? Who knows?

Those who breathe too much contributing more CO2 than they should.

This will all be done “For the Greater Good”. This will be done in the name of science and called a social program.

It will be hailed by intellectuals of the scientific community, the leaders of the business community, authors, poets and entertainers.

Research will be supported by major corporations and they spend enormous sums of money advertising the truth of this brave and bold new path.

...to each according to his needs.

But remember,
“when the search for truth is confused with political advocacy, the pursuit of knowledge is reduced to the quest for power.”

It just a few years ago that the ‘government’ was giving tax breaks to buy vehicles over 6,000 pounds!

Business Purchase SUV Tax Credit

http://www.taxationlawfirms.com/national-content.cfm/Article/40501/Business-Purchase-SUV-Tax-Credit.html

The tax break is for up to $25,000 for purchase of a vehicle for business purposes that weighs over 6,000 lbs. The intent was to get small businesses to make capital purchases faster than three years allowed under depreciation. However, because the law specified the weight but not the purpose, any yahoo buying an SUV could argue for the tax break. Obviously, the bigger the price tag, the more the rebate—someone buying a Jeep Commando got way less than someone buying a full-featured Hummer.

I’m sure there must be a planet somewhere where people are not so stupid. Anyone with me?

If they are going to pay out $4,500 for a gas guzzler I will take it.

I paid only $2,500 for my 80 model dodge pickup.

With the $4,500 voucher I will be able to upgrade to a 1990 pickup for about $3,500.

So, if I pull a clunker out of the back 40 scrap pile, put put a blown engine off the heap into it (back seat; not install it!), and winch it onto the flatbed, and take it for scrapping, I can get money to restore my VW?

SWEET!

Not.

How long does the person have to have owned the vehicle? Otherwise I think you can pick up a $4500 voucher for your new car at a junkyard.
