$1.25 million for a Hummer….$150.00 for a 2 to 1 slave cable adapter…what’s the difference?

This just re-enforces my long held belief that the intelligence is being bred out of the human race at an alarming rate.

Hey 1.25 million going to the Fisher House is a AWESOME thing... Somehow I dont think the guy wanted the hummer itself that bad.. Charity auctions are a good thing.

Wow, that's a lot of coin! Not for the founder of ReMax, but still a bunch! Glad the procedes are going to a great cause.

You can bet that has been reappraised for it's "true" value. The money over that is a tax deduction.
Which brings up a good point. Should you ever win anything of value you'll be getting a 1099 for it as taxable income. Be sure to get another appraisal or do homework on it's actual value. That week long trip to Europe valued at $5000 isn't all that "free" when you pay taxes on it next year.

The great thing that I see in this is that we are blessed to live in America where two guys give that much to support our Veterans that have been wounded. The Remax guy is a Viet Nam vet and that flys in the face of those who say Viet Nam vets are messed up.
The Fisher houses are a real blessing to the families of the Veterans as they undergo treatment at a VA facility. I sure hope we can come up with a way to bless our Veterans in some way. I suggest going for a visit to the local VA hospital or at least calling the local National Guard or Reserve unit and telling them how proud we are of them. Soldiers are the best folks I have had the pleasure of knowing and the wounded ones almost all want to stay a Soldier if they can and are willing to go back to serve where they were wounded. God bless them.
