    Actually not that many farmers pay that much for their tractor, sprayer, combine or drill.

    Someday you will learn that lesson.

        Farmers can write a truck off but investing a 100,000 in a truck for a city dweller is not a good investment if you don't really need one.

          There are a lot of city dwellers that own a huge amount of private businesses. Plumbers , electricians all sorts of trades people . They all need and rely on trucks to do their jobs .
          no doubt a handful of city dwellers do not actually need a truck but who really cares .

            Anybody, anywhere can write off a truck if you can justify it.
            If your accountant hasn't explained how that works you might have more problems than that if the auditor comes.

                Alot of uses for a truck as a city dweller. But who really needs a corvette, a Porsche, Mercedes, Bugatti or any number of pricey vehicles.

                But it isn't yours nor my business.

                    From the perspective of a socialist / Marxist such as chuck, everyone's personal decisions are his business. After all, government knows best.

                      Its much cheaper to rent a truck for occasional use than to own one.

                      Pollution, traffic congestion and the safety of city streets is everyone's business.
