@jake_bittle Under Prop 13, if a house burns down and is re-built, does it get re-assessed at current market rate after the rebuild?

@azijangravi @LHelmsReece The official job of the Iranian “morality police” is to protect women “whether the women like it or not”, to borrow a phrase I think I recall hearing somewhere else recently.

@mungowitz “No qualifications”: a term as vice president, four years in the Senate, two terms as AG of the largest state in the US.

@reason @mungowitz As are people who proclaim their refusal to strategically vote for “the lesser of two evils” to keep those politicians out of office.

@LemieuxLGM This is a longstanding GOP principle. Money you earn by the sweat of your brow can be taxed, but money you earn by sitting on your ass (capital gains, inheritance) must be tax-free.
