@Michael_Druggan Interesting phrase. I tend to think it’s more a consumption tax on consumed community services. Matches up the use of funds a little better
@On3@Brett_McMurphy I can’t stand Kirby and the thought of the sec forming its own league is ridiculous, but he’s not wrong about the state of the system
@ddaaannnniiii I dislike politicians as much or more as the average guy but this is crazy. It’s supposed to be a highly specialized field which pays well be definition. The stock trading thing is crazy though. S&P index only. Johnson’s comments so out of touch.
@dividendology Heavily disagree. So much wealth passed down generationally to people who would never be able (or know how) to recoup if everyone was reset to 0
@texasrunnerDFW First stop lumping homeowners insurance into the conversation. That has no dependency on amount of mortgage owed. Second, what happens if we abolish property tax? Where does the money for schools and local services come from? Another tax. You’re just shuffling dollars around
@Gregnormanjr You’ll have a bunch of grown ass men playing the forward tees as there are probably an overwhelming majority who don’t have either the talent or time to practice that would allow them to break par from anywhere.
@Roger_Negan Probably true but two thoughts: 1. Of all tax dollars collect what percent go to “supporting the community”? Foreign aide? Defense? Etc. were pouring a lot of money into a black hole and that makes people reluctant to give more. 2. Everyone’s definition of “community” differs
@MetamateDaz Capital markets will function. If there are buyers willing to spend then they’ll get their price. If not then the price will lower until it sells.
@SenWarren Good lord why is the solution to always tax everything? Also, let’s go back and rewrite history without the technological breakthroughs that brought us to today. Start with the assembly line. Eliminate the microchip. Keep going.
@HaterReport So bad. Tough for refs in game because flopping has developed into an art. Need post game reviews and suspensions by the league to stop this crap.
@BernieSanders More likely is that you’d collect all the money, fight amongst yourselves as to how it should be spent, then maybe half that goes to where you intend it to. People hate taxes because government can’t figure out how not to waste it.
