Is the solution to just say fuck it? Because that's what your post is basically saying. There was a time in this country's history when the democratic party had all the power. FDR got elected four times in a row. We had all the power in the federal government just 9 years ago. Our policies are what the people actually want. If you gotta put a pretty pink bow on it that caters to these dumbasses, then that's what you've got to do. No one ever said "the people" were smart or voted in their best interests, but we're the party that has taken up their cause and we've gotta figure out a way to get back into power.
are you kidding me? the Rs love it. every time trump mentions "Pocahontas" they collectively jizz their pants. a bunch of foaming-at-the-month ruhtards...they get off on donald's nicknames.
But you don't manage your "business." You told us yourself that you hire a management company. What exactly is it you do every day, other than read infowars?
That is kind of messed up if she gained anything from it. Maybe this is my privilege coming through but her story is basically she was told by parents/grandparents/relatives that they had Native American blood in their family. She then took one of those blood tests that give you your exact make up. Well turns out she didn't actually have any native american in her family. I believe that's the story iirc. That's actually a pretty common mistake a lot of white people make.
There are posts on tmb where I claim to be part Cherokee. That's what I was always told. I did a genetics test and found out my lily white ass is more McBritish than the average person living in the UK.
Obviously they love that shit, but if they were smart they could probably call her out for it without demeaning all Native Americans.
it's the only problem they can find with warren, so they try to spin it like she openly lied about her heritage.
huh? why does it matter that they demean all Native Americans? to us, and people with decency, it matters. but to them because they are all moral-less fucks, it's a means of crowd pleasing.
You probably shouldn't offer advice when you have an incomplete picture. I would appreciate the info if you were truly trying to help . I guess you are assuming there is no debt burden . Well, there is debt. And the estate tax that was paid was paid by the generation ahead of me (I believe it was about 7 million total payed, this was 25 years ago ) . I did not have to pay estate taxes (under 5m) . I didn't mean for it to come off that I have paid 7m in estate taxes. The estate from my grandad's passing to now has paid that much . And I didn't say property taxes weren't my burden. I am fussing about the amount. And tbh the mil rate isn't out of hand. But the mil rate doesn't factor in vacancies (I believe my income is therefore inappropriately tagged ). I have recently learned about a different way to calculate property taxes - income approach rather than the assessed value approach.
lol at those maps. they put so little blue on there despite more blue votes than red and made it suspiciously all near borders. hmm wonder why they would do that?
That Warren story kind of pisses me off because I know a lot of people that claim to have Native American blood where I live and they probably were all told that from a relative. Maybe research it before you pass it along but I don't necessarily think she had bad intentions doing that. Rs kind of won't ever let her forget it either.
If he wasn't POTUS the "Pocahontas" shit would be a little funny. He being POTUS makes it shitty and beneath the office.
And this is probably where he got his latest maps. When they showed him why it would be bad to withdraw from Nafta http://thehill.com/policy/finance/trade/331036-us-map-helped-sway-trump-on-nafta-report
No because the less populated and larger land areas are pretty conservative. Think Devin Nunes having a job This is off of google images so consider this juggsian
1 term - murdered 1.5 term - resigned 1 term - regarded as most ineffective modern president 2 term - conservative demigod with alzheimers 1 term - eh 2 term - cool "liberal" guy who didn't inhale and lied about getting a bj 2 term - started two wars and lead country into financial ruins 2 term - kenyan marxist muslim Fuck I think we're getting 8 years of Trump or he anoints himself King
Son, I am pretty much in all agreement with what you've been saying about how the Dems need to learn how to focus and talk to poor people again no matter skin color/religion. Yall know I'm Filipino. We've been ass fucked alongside the Mexicans and that's why I stand by them. I stand by black people too because lord knows I've been around long enough to know and see shit done to them. But I'm also not a rich motherfucker and I been around real shitty mostly white areas in Texas. Them white people were some of the most racists bible thumping pieces of shit I ever met, but damn it not all poor whites are like them. I remember some black lady and some KKK guy talking about their struggles and at the end of it all they agreed there aint much difference between them if they exclude race. It will always be the rich folk at the top trying to keep the poor so distracted with in-fighting they dont ever notice they all being raped upside down and sideways by the sharks at the top.
And obviously Trump prefers the county by county because it is so stark. Although the one he uses looks like it accounts for shading. But pretty much every bit of blue you see there are large population centers. It's a good map that really demonstrates the rural v urban votes that we see at this point. Take Texas for example, remove the blue from the border and just look at the other blue spots. That's Dallas, Austin, San Antonio and Houston.
Hopefully, somebody shows Trump a map of states that watch the most gay pornthe next time he tries to roll back rights for same sex couples. Wouldn't want to hurt the states voted for him.
Question: How did wealthy landowners thwart the efforts of enslaved Africans and European indentured servants to join forces in a common struggle for economic justice? Answer: Divide and conquer through the invention of race. Make the white servants feel superior to black slaves by virtue of skin color; manipulate poor whites into believing that any perceived gains by blacks had come at their expense. Wealthy landowners with that strategy for Trump 2016 #MAGA #AllLivesMatter #BuildThatWall #RepealObamacare Spoiler How American oligarchs created the concept of race to divide and conquer the poor By Courtland Milloy April 19, 2016 While teaching U.S. history at a public charter high school in the District, Julian Hipkins III noticed that students tended to assume that “race” was as old as mankind. “Almost like it was natural, a given,” as he put it. So, using some specialized lessons, Hipkins helped the students explore the invention of race and the reasons for it, as laid out in colonial law. Especially the Virginia slave codes enacted between 1640 and 1705. Question: How did wealthy landowners thwart the efforts of enslaved Africans and European indentured servants to join forces in a common struggle for economic justice? Answer: Divide and conquer through the invention of race. Make the white servants feel superior to black slaves by virtue of skin color; manipulate poor whites into believing that any perceived gains by blacks had come at their expense. “I started by having students get together in groups and think up laws that could be used to separate one group of people from another and laws that would make one group of people feel superior to another,” said Hipkins, who taught 11th-graders at the Capital City Public Charter School in Northwest Washington. The students, reluctantly, brainstormed. And when Hipkins showed them how similar their concocted laws were to actual slave codes, some of the students recoiled in disbelief. “They said, ‘You made that up!’ ” Hipkins recalled. “I said, ‘No, those are actual laws.’ They said, ‘That’s crazy. Somebody actually sat down and wrote those?’ ” Students eventually homed in on the essential question: Who stood to benefit from such diabolically inspired disunity among people whose economic interests were so intertwined? “That led to a discussion about how oligarchs defend their interests,” Hipkins said. “We would come back to that throughout the school year because the students noticed how race was being used as a wedge issue again and again.” Hipkins used a lesson called “The Color Line,” by Bill Bigelow, curriculum editor at Rethinking Schools magazine. The material can be downloaded from the Zinn Education Project. The pattern of exploitation that the students discovered does not fit neatly into the standard high school history narrative of the noble birth of a nation. So it is often overlooked. But the process has been widely documented. Thomas and Mary Edsall, for example, described it in their 1991 book, “Chain Reaction: The Impact of Race, Rights and Taxes on American Politics:” “Just as race was used, between 1880 and 1964, by the planter-textile-banking elite of the South to rupture class solidarity at the bottom of the income ladder, and to maintain control of the region’s economic and political systems, race as a national issue over the past twenty-five years has broken the Democratic New Deal ‘bottom-up’ coalition — a coalition dependent on substantial support from all voters, white and black, at or below the median income.” That fracturing of the Democratic coalition, the Edsalls argue, “permitted, in turn, those at the top of the ‘top down’ conservative coalition to encourage and to nurture, in the 1980s, what may well have been the most accelerated upward redistribution of income in the nation’s history — a redistribution fed by the tax, spending and regulatory policies of the Reagan and Bush administrations.” That upward redistribution continues, and racism is still being used keep poor and working-class blacks and whites fighting over crumbs, while the top 1 percent takes the cake. Echoes can be seen in Donald Trump’s outreach to poor and working-class whites by castigating immigrants as those people who are taking their jobs. But that does not have to be the end of the history lesson. “When students learned how race had been created, how the structure of white supremacy had been constructed, they began to realize that it could also be destroyed,” said Hipkins, who recently left his teaching post to become a curriculum specialist for D.C.-based Teaching for Change. For the past 400 years, every generation has produced heroic advocates for liberty and justice. With a more-enlightened view of the short but destructive history of race, the students now had a choice: Join in a struggle to build an anti-racist America, or accept racism “as a given” and rejoin the masses in stultified maintenance of a futureless status quo.
400 lbs and complained about the cost of his health insurance. Also was happy that Trump cut his health insurance cost in half.
Lots of red on those misleading maps for someone that received a few million less votes than his opponent.
Hold on. You're telling me I want people to actually rent them? If I found a way to save money would that be good also? Seriously though. You're right, they do have value independent of occupancy. But their value is always tied to occupancy and the tax rate is not. Whether we are at 65 percent full or 95 percent the yearly tax number is the same. It does not take into account local market conditions, at least not current market conditions.
You could just sell the property and let that be someone else's problem. Then you can invest the money you receive and start bitching about how unfair the capital gains tax is.
eh, county map for a presidential election is stupid and pointless they only use it to make it feel like they won bigly
Proof that that is what I pay? It's really not a big deal if yall believe me or not tbh. It's not gonna make the bill go down any.
There is debt tied in that would have to be paid off. I could sell it. But I'd rather make whatever a month than have one lump sum to reinvest. I'm risk averse right now.
