You passed a bill labeled as the "Inflation Reduction Act" and the comments on it are the Green New Deal initiatives that were in it. It was a patent lie to the American people. What is she going to do to reduce inflation now? Pass a law to buy more wind mills and drive inflation even further?

I was listening to Hallerin Hilton Hill on the radio, I cannot believe there are so many misguided people in Knoxville. Why in the world would anyone vote for more of this nightmare?

The Harris/Biden administration has accomplished raising prices on all life's essentials. That money is gone, not in the bank. Gone. People are hurting and Democrats are telling you manufacturing conglomerates are raising prices for no particular reason and they're gonna make them stop. Um, it's Democrat policies dude.

For the last few years, the old white man is the problem with America is what we’ve heard from progressives. Now we have a woman of color as the nominee needing an old white man to do a joint taped interview. What a great time to be alive.

So, do you live in knoxville? I'm guessing yes based on the fact you put none of the blame on Trump policies when you post this misguided

She's not a conservative. Well let me clarify, she's a conservative by today's standards which means she's a big government liberal.

I'd love the hear the logistics of enforcement. If the value of my house goes down next year do I take a loss against the previous years gain? Am I capped at the $3000 carry forward or can I offset dollar for dollar? Does everyone get a new appraisal every year? Who pays for it?

What if I have a $100,000,000 gain in stocks and this triggers a $25 million in taxes but my income is only $100k per year. So do I sell my stocks to cover it...then that triggers capital gains when then become "realized" gains and would be exempt and fall under capital gains.

According to many economists, it's laughably unenforceable

You mean TurboMonty said it was unenforceable?

Yes, you have to get an appraisal every year on every single asset that does not have a publicly available item. You buy 20 piecea of art. 20 different appraisals. Every year. You buy 200 cards. Appraisal. 200 of them. Every year. You invest in a 25 pieces of real estate. 25 appraisals every year. The most disputed sections of the IRC are valautions. Wait until this tax gets applied to everyone with a million dollar net worth......

And with the price of real estate these days it's not much to have a million net worth.

She's a Dick Cheney conservative

Frankly the whole family should be banned from ever holding office in the US again
