  1. I just don't think you get it. If you make old people exempt from property taxes, then everybody will just sell their properties to their parents and old people will never move out until they die. Older people already get social security. Now you want to exempt them from property taxes? Half of thrm are millionaires too. While young families struggle to get by? No way that's right. ANY reduction of property taxes, even if it's only for a "special class" of people, will jack up property values farther out of reach of ordinary people that actually have to work for a living.
  2. Elderly retirees can sell their homes and downsize to a condo or apartment if they can't afford the house. Why is this such a big deal for somebody that doesn't even work and their kids moved out already?
  3. Very different. This jet is a quasi personal gift that trump and only trump will use. Nobody uses a statue, so it's not nearly as bad but yes, that would raise red flags for me too, the level depending upon the magnitude of it.
  4. Most of the wingers won't see a problem w this. Most of those will just point to something Biden or Clinton did, even though it's not the same. Winger hypocrisy example #4,530,567
  5. Chicago is special case. That's an inherently corrupt local govt. I would never live there.
  6. Govt needs to be fair and avoid corruption, first and foremost. It has to build in a lot of extra staff time to do that. I'm tired of rich wingers whining about taxes in their mansions and 2nd homes while families struggle to put food on the table. It's pathetic.
  7. Personally I think we should ELIMINATE sales tax and create a state property tax (on top of the local property tax). Property taxes are the greatest. Wingers hate them because they are progressive and they can't cheat them, like they do on their income tax.
  8. So you only pay property taxes if you are under 65? Omg you gotta think b4 you say stupid things. I'll just sell my house to my mom to avoid taxes. Dumbest idea ever. My condo too.
  9. Show me a state with zero property taxes. How about a country with zero property taxes. Condition = where people actually want to or can live. If such a place exists, I can guarantee that land values are off the charts. It's very simple economics. This is just another way that wingers can make the rich richer and the poor poorer.
  10. First of all, you need tax revenue, so why not propert tax? It's a finite resource. Secondly, and related to that, you MUST have property taxes. It's not an option. Think about what happens to property prices if property taxes become $0? There's basically no limit. We'd ALL be renting from multi billionaires who would buy up basically everything and rent it out. Ya gotta think about consequences. How people react when you change tax policy.
  11. Who's that? Fox News and Trumptard himself? Keep drinking the Kool Aid.
  12. Fetterman is another Lackey for Israel. Wants to give them a pass and blank check to continue their genocidal policies
  13. Property is a limited resource so absolutely yes we should pay property taxes. When you own a property that's a property that somebody else can't access. Property taxes should actually be HIGHER for this reason. Replace the sales or possibly income tax if you want because this is the KING of all taxes. People hide income and other assets all the time to avoid taxes but you can't hide your property. THATS WHY ITS THE KING! And I say this as an owner of multiple properties.
  14. Happens to a lot of dudes. I'm better off for it anyway. Dang, I thought you'd be impressed over my "alleged" ex wife and kids. Guess that backfired.
  15. I have my own attributes. Fiance will admit that being a " nice guy" is definitely NOT one of them.
  16. Alleged? Yes, you busted me. I've actually just been single my whole life and living in moms basement. I felt the need to impress the winger community on here and made up all my kids and fiance. And ex wife for that matter.
  17. Looks like an AI-generated image of a trumptard
  18. This was basically not a deal at all.
  19. Overall still down since inauguration. Pathetic.
  20. 1 deal done in 3.5 months. Pathetic. And it's not anything close to a significant trade partner or a country accused of ripping us off. The wingers cab take their victory lap though. They're gonna claim success no matter what.
  21. I must have missed the part about them being here illegally.
  22. Illegal immigrants? Or is the bloodline the problem here?
  23. LIterally everything. How about that. Show me where she's been honest on anything that can be manipulated?
  24. I'd be more interested in hearing where anybody in this regime has actually been honest, on any topic where there is potential for the narrative to be manipulated.
