Removing it would be the same as enacting a federal law. 50+ percentage of the House and Senate and presidential signature.
I just heard Anderson Cooper and Gen McMaster discussing Trump and debates- Cooper said that if someone compliments Trump, the interviewer/reporter can get away with asking harder questions than if they only ask the questions. Also talked about why he admires leaders who are strong- he wants to be a real boy, too.
That rate wasn't paid by most tax payers. That would be a real slap in the face if everyone had to pay it- imagine coming back from a war and finding out that your income would be minimal after taxes. Corporate tax rate was higher after WWII, as well.
I wrote "buyers need to have their financing in place if they want to buy in a hot market.", not that the national market is hot but in many areas of MKE, signs go up and within a few days or a couple of weeks, they have changed to 'offer accepted' or 'sold'. These aren't one type of home, they range from moderate to high end. I wasn't making a sweeping generalization.
Money with respect to the presidency ? I wonder where Obama came up with the 25 million to procure his three (at least) homes ?
Here's part of the answer.
Remember his "I mean, if someone has ten or fifteen million dollars, they have enough" comment?
Playbook: Scoop: The secret debate about the Trump-Harris debate - POLITICO
It appears that Harris' team has a lot more faith in their candidate's ability to handle her opponent than Trump's has in his.
McMaster described his meetings in the Oval Office as "exercises in competitive sycophancy", so yeah, Trump is very weak to flatter. US enemies, like Putin, uses that.
Agreed; but movement is low. Prices are dropping in every market I'm looking at. My house ended up going more than $50k below assessment, and I was not getting views (nor are the people around me).
No. I don't. Can you cite it? I remember this quote:
The real question you should ask is "Where did the money to buy Clarence Thomas' mother's house come from" or "Where did Jared Kushner's firm get $2 billion from"
Location, location, location- I'm in the oldest part of the city where I live (adjacent to Milwaukee) and most houses sell quickly, for asking price and more. The house where I grew up sold the last time in a couple of days- I drove near it and saw the sign on a Saturday, on Tuesday, it had 'Offer Accepted'. I just checked that address on Zillow and the estimated selling price is up >60% since the April, 2018 selling price. Some sell within hours of the open house, some sell before a sign goes up. The house next door hit the market a couple of weeks ago and the listing shows that its value increased 108% in the last ten years.
I'll look for a link.
Great! And find a credible one.
True, but it's not just about crass $$$ wealth. Connections are extremely valuable (in big part due to wealth). How else do you think Jared Kushner got that $2 billion investment from the corrupt, theocratic and brutally oppressive Saudi Arabia regime? The dude has no experience managing financial assets.
Backtracked a few posts but didn't get that "you didn't do that" comment. Inquiring mind wants to know.
Of course not paid by everyone. We were talking max marginal tax rates.
@mtrycrafts addressed the "marginal" part so I'll leave that. I think that very many Black veterans felt like being slapped in the face when returning from WWII only to find the benefits where for the White folks.
They're known to be generous donors to charity, but I don't think their kids will go hungry either. I don't think she meant that nobody should inherit wealth - just recognize the advantage gained by the happy accident of being born into wealth. Too many people who were born on third base think they hit a home run when they reach home plate. And, conversely, don't assume that people on the bottom rung of the economic ladder are lazy, stupid or otherwise undeserving.
I think if you asked him, he would admit that if he had remained a civil rights lawyer, nobody would be interested in reading his books or hearing him speak.
