@frank_and_roger@mcuban@grok No need to explain, I never claimed loans are income. The whole point is that this is a way for the wealthy to avoid paying taxes, and @mcuban was discussing raising taxes on the wealthy. Peace out, Lumberger
@grok thanks for confirming that buy-borrow-die is a strategy used by some wealthy investors to avoid paying income taxes on unrealized gains while generating tax-free cash for them to live on. And of course they are loans, interest must be paid, and the loans eventually repaid, but this strategy still saves on taxes for the wealthy who use it.
@frank_and_roger@mcuban@grok explain how buy-borrow-die lets wealthy owners convert paper gains into tax-free cash flow and, at death, permanently remove those particular gains from the income-tax base.
MapQuest refuses to validate Trump's delusions, and instead allows us to play along and rename Lake Ontario to whatever we want!

Personally I like Canada's idea to change it to The Strait of Our Moose 😂

Consider supporting this financially if you can as well
@shprockets Nice try, but Fauci had no authority to force anything. The only one with that authority would be Trump & his minions. So if you’re angry about any of that, direct your anger at the people who actually had the authority to do anything about it.
Ok then, let’s go after the guy at the head of it all, the decider in chief who lied to us with:
“We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China… It’s going to be just fine.”
“the virus will disappear “like a miracle” or go away with warmer weather. “
“U.S. cases are low and declining toward near-zero”
“the virus was under control or that the U.S. response had been highly successful at points when cases and deaths were climbing sharply.”

@seanhannity@FoxNews Of course he had the right to plead the fifth. His pardon does not protect him from any facetious traps the posers like Hawley might try to set during his testimony.
@HowieCarrShow New poll: who should our govt go after first?
A. The wealthy connected pedophiles who got young girls from Epstein, or
B. The 85 year old doctor who dedicated his life to saving us from infectious diseases?

@WalshFreedom agree 100% - greatest conman of our lifetimes.
Who else could’ve convinced tens of millions of voters that:
https://t.co/G20YsS7fMo’s not only ok—but even patriotic—to vote for a convicted felon.
2.The guy who bankrupted multiple casinos is going to fix our national debt.
3.A draft dodger who called our dead soldiers suckers & losers should be our Commander-in-Chief.
4.A man who cheated on all three of his wives—and paid off a porn star—is the epitome of “family values.”
5.A man who can’t name a single Bible verse but sells Bibles with his name on them and invokes God to justify war is a devout Christian.
6.Stiffing contractors —plumbers, electricians, painters—is standing up for the little guy.
7. Eliminating fraud and waste means pardoning convicted fraudsters, friends, and associates.
8.Updating a hurricane forecast with a Sharpie is “telling it like it is.”
9.“Drain the swamp” means surrounding yourself with insiders, donors, and sycophants.
10.Adding trillions to the national debt counts as fiscal conservatism.
11.Elections are only “rigged” when you lose.
12.Pardoning rioters who assaulted police on Jan. 6 is “backing the blue.”
That’s not luck. That’s world class persuasion. He should be given a medal or trophy. Someone call FIFA! 🥇🏆
But he couldn’t have done it alone. For him to win, Democrats had to lose the middle class and fail to put up a candidate who could beat a convicted felon — which should’ve been a very low bar.
