Just index for inflation and many people will find out their house didn't gain in value at all.

Bay Area housing equity has grown WAY more than just to cover inflation.

Whereas out in the sticks like West Virginia, homes hardly gain any market driven equity value at all.

Right on! To the extent that people should pay any taxes for anything at all, at least let's tax the real windfall gains, not false inflation gains.

Looking at the property taxes of old people here in California can be a real eye opener. My ancient neighbors pay barely $1000/year property tax. The new neighbors: $22k/year. Yeah, that's impressive appreciation for what is essentially a shack on a tiny plot of nutrient-stripped land without water.

I say we abolish SALT deductions completely.

Flat-tax with no deductions. Let everyone be treated equally. (Unless you want just a per-capita tax where everyone pays the same amount!)

If planet was warming supposedly, how come it just doesn't stay warm? Seems like it cools down every damn day. So temperature clearly isn't rising.

HEYYOU says

I guess denial is one way to deal with facts.

What facts? There is 0 proof of global warming or it's causes. Literally 0. I know my science method, there is nothing proving global warming. There is a "theory", at best a theory. And a theory with absolutely 0 proof of why.

Let's just call GW for what it is "A faith based institution", because you really got to believe into something that doesn't physically exist. Left can start a GW worshipping church, right next to that Alien worshipping church that Tom Cruz goes to.

HEYYOU says

Will the corporate tax increase in the next 10 years? Will yours?

Hey get with the program. According to AOC and other liberals in her group, we'll all be dead in 11 years. Why even bother paying taxes if planet is about to just explode?

Scream louder.

:

Don't spoil it. We need to use "the secret" to keep global warming from happening. If we all just believe that in fact the earth is actually in a cooling trend it will become true !

No really. I mean it. I read it on Patrick.net. Temperatures are decreasing. It's a long term trend now.

But they've got NASA, the Pentagon, the U.N., and almost all of science and academia in on the conspiracy.

SO believe hard people ! Keep a good thought, and believe and pray that temperatures are going down as they certainly are.

We can not let the fact and reality based forces of evil win !!

Why would anyone want to stuff his cock in that skank's mouth?

Geez ... I guess America is really a loser society.

By French-Canadian standards, she'd be the ugliest bitch I'd ever done.

Hee, Hee! The latest is that the only stuff 'stolen' from his house was incriminating computer records and files.

Have you not heard of a "glory hole?" Looks are irrelevant, technique is prime.

pissed off wives and two stadiums full of happy divorce lawyers!

Interesting how she could hold them hostage, but not them her, since they would out themselves if they did.

This French-Canadian ... has technique!

So no, I'm not buying into the Kamala special.

Yes, now that his wife is under investigation.

"22 percent of millennials say they have “no friends”

Do they at least have enemies?

Not only, but mostly

"Victim" was a BoomFuck on the verge of parasitizing society with Social Security collection. He deserved it.

Idiot should have stayed in the car and fighting an old man is despicable. But the old man is an idiot too waving him forward.

FortWayneIndiana says

There is a "theory", at best a theory. And a theory with absolutely 0 proof of why.

The theory is manmade co2 causing runaway temperature increase; the "hockey stick". By now the temperature was supposed to increase exponentially and Manhattan and Florida were to be underwater.

A decade later, co2 has increased but the temp has not made its moonshot, the glaciers have not all melted and Manhattan is still high and dry.

Theory disproved.

If we all just believe

Sums up the alarmist's fact free argument.

Did the price of the shoe go up to the consumer due to tariffs?

Wrong question, imho.

Right question: Did the wages of the American guy who makes shoes go up due to tariffs?

When the wages of the poor rise, they spend it and the economy benefits.
When the incomes of the rich rise, they hoard it and the economy stagnates.

There is no "Leningrad" and has not been one since the fall of the Soviet era. I am sure you are trying to implicate Lindsey with Putin, not the Soviets. Please keep up.

We now have a picture of the intruders:

you can either have a job in America, or you can let Chinese take those jobs.

I think Trump did the right thing.

Economy is doing great, so all the moaning is for nothing, it's just that... "liberal moaning" of invented problems.

Why is it so hard for people to see the long term damage off shoring jobs and tech has caused since the 80s. Who gives a fuck who is in the Whitehouse, it took a generation to get where we are at and it will take that long to get back. I would rather have Americans have better paying jobs instead of working retail service jobs or on welfare. Fuck selling our soul for a cheap tv or phone that only lasts 1/20th what it would have 30 years ago.

You're missing the larger (secret) goal: destroy China's economy so they are unable to take over the world. Check out how many countries in Africa owe China large debts that they will never be able to pay. China will gladly take all mineral or water rights for repayment. China has a mentality not unlike Westerners in the 16th and 17th century. It's not going to be pretty for stone-age civilizations just as it wasn't pretty for the stone-age civilizations in North and Central America in 200 to 400 years ago.

"He tried to go into the bar but did not make it through the door. Someone took the gun from him and he got shot and is dead."

This sounds like a Liberal with a Shooty thing trying to make a point.
I bet he made a fist with his thumb wrapped in his fingers.

24 people were shot last weekend in Chicago. 5 dead. No one blinked en eye.

Probably white supremacist.

See anything interesting?

A lot of incel rage?

They're CIA psyops assassin clones, generated in the bowels of Langley! They're given legends and set out in malls and schools to shame America into giving up their Second Amendment rights!

Let's see how much the Chinese are going to pay through the depreciation of their currency. I bet they are going to pay a lot.

Why do you hate success?

She just hates because she is a hating hater.

Now that I have ha more time to think about this. Literally everyone I know in my neighborhood has had their car damaged by rats. Obviously the crazy cat lady put a stop to this in my immediate area, which is why I forgot about it. That and the rats normally eat the wires since the wore looms protectors and insulation, and you end up with something like this:



I personally have never had this happen because my cars are old (more than 20 years old) and my stuff is made with petroleum based products that the rats won't eat. That and I have oil leaks. Anyone with newer vehicles which use soy based products the engine compartment wiring is often eaten up, and expensive to fix (no warranty will cover this as well). I have only had rats nest, usually on top of the battery.

Proves that left is mentally unstable should be locked up in insane asylums.

Giving mentally ill people freedom is a burden on society and ends tragically.

Have an illegal tow it over the border, report it stolen.

Rats eat wires? That's the first I've heard about that.
Used to put Brillo pads or steel wool in rat holes to stop them from coming through.
