@BraddrofliT Funny thing about liberals.

They think those who make a lot of money don’t earn it.

So it should be taxed and redistributed. To people who don’t earn it.

@4TaxFairness @SenRubenGallego Going to tax home equity loans? Farm loans secured by farm property? Bail bonds secured by your house?

[Unconventionally Conventional @UnconConven]

@rushicrypto Sounds like a win-win.

He keeps his hedge. He pays for the health insurance for a cop and his child for the year.

[Unconventionally Conventional @UnconConven]

Nobody told you?

You thought a bank would lend you $350000 and not want interest? And you couldn’t figure out that even at a low rate if 3%, that’s over $10k a year?

You thought you wouldn’t have to pay property taxes? That police, fire, schools, and roads are “free”?

You thought you wouldn’t have to pay for homeowners insurance? That a magic fairy would protect you from harm?

Nobody told you? Are you fucking stupid?

@Eddiefelson2019 @0xDavecryps Interest is deducted from taxable income. Not taxes.

But his property taxes are, too.

@VinnysCorner1 Hal McRae … the first player to play almost exclusively at the position.

@thatsitbot @Kcchiefs58dt When Mahomes has a year or two left, yes, push all the chips in. Mortgage the future. Trade draft picks. Plan on huge dead cap charges. Until then, they are doing this exactly right.

[Unconventionally Conventional @UnconConven]

@BarrySchust This is a good top 5 list.

Next 5 for me (not in order necessarily) includes Graham, Starr, Staubach, Favre, Rodgers.

@BBGreatMoments Mickey Lolich … by Denny McLain’s 31 win season and Bob Gibson’s 1.12 ERA in 1968.

But it was Lolich that pitched 3 CG wins including the game 7 duel against Gibson to carry the Tigers to 1968 title. While McLain went 1-2.

@OrevaZSN It has never been the case that a low skill, entry level minimum wage job has supported independent living of a single person. Maybe sharing an apartment with two other people, and living very modestly (no cable TV, internet, individual phone, eating out, $5 coffees, etc).

[Unconventionally Conventional @UnconConven]

Only 3 rings? Please name another QB drafted in last 20 years with more than 1.

You come across as a dumbass.

And no one saves cap space. Might move it from one year to the next, but it all gets spent. Chiefs have done a great job maximizing window of a competitive team. Bengals haven’t even made the playoffs in last 3 seasons with Burrow at QB.

[Unconventionally Conventional @UnconConven]

@BBGreatMoments Put Brett at #2, Robinson at #5.

Then you have a good list.

[Unconventionally Conventional @UnconConven]

@LarryJones All 20. As I would guess most people born in the 50s and 60s will say.

[Unconventionally Conventional @UnconConven]

@nut_history It’s close. And Fenway has more big moments.

But Wrigley is the winner because of the neighborhood and rooftops.

@BarrySchust Patriots

[Unconventionally Conventional @UnconConven]

@GuntherEagleman Ford. Very easy question.

[Unconventionally Conventional @UnconConven]

Entirely different structures and purposes.

Property tax: Local tax to fund police, fire, schools, parks, local roads and other infrastructure. Typically 1% of value of house in the locality that benefits from the services and infrastructure. House would have little value without those services and infrastructure. (Notably: Property taxes for typical homes are fully deductible from federal and state income taxes, and first $500k of capital gains on a primary residence are also not taxed.)

Capital gains tax: One of many taxes paid to federal and most state govt for general revenue when one has an ownership interest in business. For anyone holding stock in a publicly held company (outside a tax deferred retirement account), taxes are paid primarily at 5 levels: (a) all employment taxes paid in relation to employees employed by the business (roughly 7.3% of payroll for federal), (b) property taxes on real property owned by business, (c) corporate taxes on actual profits (20% federal base rate plus state), (d) taxes on shareholders for dividends paid (ordinary income rate of shareholder), (e) taxes on shareholders for realized capital gains (ordinary income rate if held less than 12 months, or 10-20% rate for long term capital gains). There are no exemptions for gains (unlike home exemption).

Comparing one to the other is foolish.

@DividendBreeder Subdivide the stats by age.

Age has the strongest correlation to net worth. A young lawyer with student loans at age 30 very likely has negative net worth. By age 60, almost all will be multi-millionaires.

@mikeo331 @VinnysCorner1 No, he has never missed a late 4Q or OT kick. Prove me wrong.

@BlazedPheonix @redpillb0t “Never been given” tells all of us all we need to know about you.

[Unconventionally Conventional @UnconConven]

There are shortages in all of the skilled trades — electricians, plumbers, carpenters, operating engineers, etc.

People think they should get jobs at middle level incomes while offering low level skills zero. Economics is simple … don’t expect to be paid above the relative skills and productivity you provide.
