I’m all for taxing foreign speculators.

It’s not right that we let foreigners speculate American soil

Yes. Foreign or even out-of-state speculators should receive a tax. There should also be tighter caps on RE agent commissions.

I would add we should tax single family homes on anything over the primary home.
The second home could be exempt if you file an exemption every year at tax time to show you didn't rent it out.

> "Properties deemed empty will be subjected to a tax of 1% of their assessed value."
One percent is less than the inflation that is still a positive cash flow for investors.

If Russian oligarchs, Saudi princes and fugitive PRC Army officers aren't FREE! to protect billions in stolen money in US Real Estate then FREEDOM! is completely meaningless and the USA! has no purpose!


If we can tax the stolen money brought into the US, freedom would take on a whole new meaning. I say......go for it.

All of these ideas would require Congressional approval


If you can bounce those beautiful tits on the faces of politicians, approval would be a done deal.

and how will everyone be able to buy cheap crap from china then? Trump would be impeached in a heartbeat if walmart shoppers were cut off from their cheap junk addiction. That's what a trade deficit is, they sell us goods then buy assets from us with the money..

It wouldn't be dems impeaching. It would be a trump voter revolution. They are the ones that voted with their wallets to destroy their own high pay manufacturing jobs. If people were willing to pay american made prices jobs wouldn't have moved overseas in the first place. People are totally addicted to cheap prices for goods coming from places that pay nothing wages. I notice trump never talks about how much things will cost after he brings all the jobs back. Do you think the tooth fairy is gong to pay the 25% or higher tariffs or the difference between us wages and vietnam wages?

I also notice almost all the tariffs so far avoid direct consumer items So no one can say look at item x, the tariff trump put on is why it costs to much now. It's all things where the cost will be added to production costs Just a little bit politicall dishonest. Maybe teeny tiny bit.

Bringing back manufacturing would be a good thing The orange pied piper selling a bill of goods that people will have good paying manufacturing jobs without paying the cost in much more expensive goods is fantasy.. Ass, gas, or grass no one rides free.

You do realize that tariffs are actually taxes. I thought Leftists like you were all for new taxes? Don’t we need to fund the government and all the lovely programs it supplies? Don’t we need to address the deficit and possibly reduce it? But somehow you don’t like THESE sorts of taxes?

Relevance to the subject of this is what? Find where I said I didn't like tariffs as taxes. Go ahead. I said trump is singing his song of good paying jobs without mentioning much higher prices it will create if it were to come to pass.

I realize to the hard right everyone else is a leftist/communist/socialist/pinko fag. The almighty mythical Ronald Reagan would be a socialist today. When the only tool you have is a hammer everything looks like a nail.

Right back at you. As a conservative/rightist/libertarian how can you possibly support tariffs? They hinder workings of the all powerful free market. Do you support less government less government taxes, less government regulations and a free market or not? Tariffs are direct government meddling in the free market, picking and choosing winners/losers. Picking and choosing which industries to support was what the conservatives called socialism under Obama. Now under trump its good. Are you familiar with the word hypocrisy by any chance?

You can't have it both ways.

Yes. Not empty houses - you can do whatever you want with your property - just foreign buyers/investors/speculators. Also repeal prop 13 and in turn lower property taxes for all.

So did Bush. We’ve been voting for Stalin’s all along who would have known.

He talked openly about expanding Medicare, which means he was exactly like Stalin.
