Agree. I think that is far too risky and a blatant abuse of the tax system. I think there are areas in life for every human where normalization of deviance creeps in and we make excuses for doing things that we know are wrong. It will be different for each individual, but everyone has something in their life, no matter how upstanding of a citizen they may be.
Yep. I'm cool with burning her, assuming the accusation is true and proven in court.
True enough.
OK fair enough but my point was just that lack of intent doesn't mean the person gets off.
There are so many people who lie on mortgage applications. It’s so common. Very few get caught getting “favorable” loan rates.
Intent is a very broad definition. The same reason Trump got convicted with his Manhattan case…intent.
--The people dont get to vote on that.
Have you even done it? Is it really that common? Did not do it when I was buying my 2nd home.
One home. Only time two homes was in between selling homes. You sign an affidavit saying it will be ur primary home. Because the second home rate is generally 0.5-0.75% higher in terms of mortgage and rental homes I think are around 1-1.25% higher.
This is really a small civil fine and move on. But guess Trump wants to spend 20 million of taxpayer money like Alvin bragg did to punish a target. And it will result on zero jail time.
In all fairness, she did the same thing to Trump.
This has been my point all along.
His first term he had basically traditional cabinet members. He sure he posted on twitter and issued executive orders but they were either slow walked or ignored by the rank and file. Trump 2.0 has been staffed by true project 2025 believers who took control of all levers of government from day 1 and have not slowed down at all.
Similar to a foreign training squadron in the US? Idaho hosted (is hosting?) A Singaporean fighter squadron. There were a few German 'fighter' pilots there too about a decade ago, but the German air force is more like a civilian air patrol group with out dated F4 fighters.
How about the fact that they were born and bred there. The majority of the poor did not purposely travel to these places unless they were looking fur better opportunities like everyone else. Most poor people are not looking for a handout.
Maybe he was going for the Nobel Petty prize
Lisa Cook did nothing to Trump personally other than exist on the fed reserve board.
Probably the same thing we get out of every other cooperative training agreement and military exercise with other nations - soft power, closer ties to allies, stronger counter to adversaries like Russia and China in that part of the world.
I’m probably close to the bottom of the barrel in terms of tax schemes.
i hope u do realize the democrats are run by the elite as well. It’s shocking how blinded some people are who runs either party.
I don't have a strong opinion on this particular plan.
Depends what ur definition of “middle class is”
CBO has consistently moved the goalpost with the estimates. Try being 1 billion over estimate and backtracking
That I will agree with u.
The economy is good for you. You probably will save 30-50k due to OBBB that congress passed. You also have made a lot of money in the stock market in the past 2 yrs. Don't try to be a savior of people that are voting AGAINST their economic interest.
It's already that. The top 10% own ~70% of the wealth of the country. It's already the top 10% and "the rest". Both democrats and republicans are complicit, albeit the republicans have been worse.

In all honesty, Biden administration was not that bad, but he screwed up badly on immigration.Biden’s labor report card: Historian gives ‘Union Joe’ a higher grade than any president since FDR
Biden is arguably the most pro-union occupant of the White House since the New Deal.
I don't know how complicit the Democratic party has been. But Joe Biden as our most recent example of a Democratic president was the most pro-labor President in close to 100 years.
This is not true. If he creates instability to the point of a black swan/civil war the top 10% are just as ****ed--only people with private jets and self-sustaining compounds with security teams are going to be ok in that scenario.. Would much rather pay more taxes than gamble on this increasingly likely possibility.
There is not that many centrists per se. Most people vote on a few issues. For instance, I vote republicans because of social issues and I couldn't care less that they will mess up the economy, which they have done a lot more than the dems since I have been paying attention to politics.
