Kavanaugh Confirmation

[0nelilreb]

Ok you guys keep it up talking about taxes and you’ll get huff up in here .

 

[zeppelin128]

So you don't think people are assets?

I think people are people. I don't think it is wise to treat them as "assets". Otherwise we'd be genetically scanning kids at birth to cull the "others," then following up every few months to see if we are getting a return on our "investment."

I think all people are assets. It has nothing to do with genetics.

 

[1972 Grad]

Did the guy investing in real estate realuze 100k profit on the sale of the asset or was it simple appreciation?
Primary residence/vacation home/investment property?
Owned as individual, LLC, S Corp or C corp?
Did he pay his county and city property taxes while he owned?
Has he fully depreciated the asset?
Is he cashing out or reinvesting the money into another property or business?

You are going to make LG's head explode.

 

[1972 Grad]

Fyp and I agree.

 

[zeppelin128]

I’m most curious about what is going to happen in these tossup House races.

Really, who the hell knows at this point? A month is a lifetime in politics. It will fluctuate toward each side as we get closer, but it is a dead heat imo. We'll all have a late night in November on the PF.

He didn’t specify so I assumed he sold it for $100k profit and treated it as income.

Fyp and I agree.

Fixed my own, better.

 

[zeppelin128]

It would act as a better deterrent.

It has never worked as a deterrent, and the State has absolutely no business killing citizens.

 

[happy-go_vol]

No.... you and your ideology and BHO's economic/socialistic policies do

Lol, luther just got smacked like the girl he is. Maybe he needs a #methree movement

 

[0nelilreb]

What do we do with people that are too dangerous to be back out in society after ( just for example) kill and eat 10 kids/ people ?

 

[C-south]

Citizens have no business killing citizens either. Capital punishment should be used more and if you break the law, any law, deal with the consequences. Abide by the law or be a better criminal.

 

[McDad]

He didn’t specify so I assumed he sold it for $100k profit and treated it as income.

These details matter. For example, if it was his primary residence which increased 100,000 and he sold it for $250,000 or less, and he lived in it for a minimum 2 years, then there is no tax on that money. And there shouldn't be.

 

[luthervol]

If you think that's impressive, you ought to see the way that leaf is blowing in the wind.

 

[Squints]

So you don't think people are assets?

Apparently, he doesn’t own a life insurance policy on anyone other than himself.

No one has ever accused a socialist of having impeccable financial acumen. I mean, he believes communism, after all the antiquated paradigms for us to inspect, would be successful.

A single, kid-less logger, renting an apartment across from UTM -- has capitalism just dripping from it, doesn’t it?

 

[zeppelin128]

What do we do with people that are too dangerous to be back out in society after ( just for example) kill and eat 10 kids/ people ?

If one person, absolutely one person, is given freedom from a hasty death penalty based on a wrongful conviction, then I will gladly pay to have your crazy cannibal stuck in a supermax prison for life. The moment the state murdered an innocent person is the moment the death penalty should have been abolished.

Maybe we can cut off the hands of some kids shoplifting? That will send the message, right?

Are we talking about abortion here?

 

[zeppelin128]

Are we talking about abortion here?

No, capital punishment. Different issue entirely.

 

[InVOLuntary]

No, capital punishment. Different issue entirely.

Not really. Murder is murder.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

A huge taint and a big asterisk. Sounds about right.

Based on what?

 

[Grand Vol]

I'm thinking this is her way of saying "I really effed up... but I'm going to say something really dumb to try to cover it up"

Well he did say investment real estate but didn’t specify anything outside of that. It yes I agree.

 

[C-south]

Definitely a deterrent

 

[zeppelin128]

Not really. Murder is murder.

No, it really is a separate issue with it's own issues. Also, abortion has nothing to do with the state. It is an individual choice.
