The Killer Rabbit
Home buyers frequently cite the mortgage deduction as one of the primary reasons for home ownership. Do you think this is a reasonable argument? Do you think additional considerations such as interest rate and pricing would affect the validity of the argument and if so, in what direction?

Secondly, many here have argued that Prop 13 and the $250,000 per person per home appreciation exemption played a much greater role in fueling the current housing bubble. Do you agree?

Your thoughts on the AMT? Was it created by the devil? Has it asked for your first born? Did the AMT invent granite countertops?

"Isn’t it a rather popular opinion among the people of Tibet?"

Perhaps amongst Tibetans, though they are unlikely to share their opinions with a Han Chinese. Furthermore, similar to Russian settlements in the Soviet Central Asia republics, mass Han Chinese migration into Tibet (and the Muslim far west and Inner Mongolia) is really diluting the local population. A lot of Tibetans are now minorities on their own ancestral lands.

I'm shutting this thread down to prevent more spam (stuck in moderation, thankfully). Thank you all for participating.
