No one should be forced to sell their house because they can't afford the taxes on it.
That's why I like the exemption.

There should be no homestead exemption. Everyone should have skin in the game.
So if Florida succeeds in eliminating their property tax, as DeSantis has supported ( LINK), does that mean no one in Florida would have "skin in the game"?

The property tax, or the exemption?

Trump stole the idea from Ron Paul's 2012 campaign:

"Ending taxes on tips will give workers a pay raise, letting them keep more money to put toward a house or car payment, retirement, or their own and/or their children's education." — Ron Paul

If they can't defend themselves on their own against the North Koreans and Chinese, they don't deserve to have their own country.
frick those freeloaders, bring our troops home now.
Am I doing it right, PutinBoyz?

The Vietnamese didn't.
Nor did the Afghans
It's awfully easy for you to say they should just submit to foreign rule. It comes off as a bit hypocritical.

What does Zelensky want? So far he wants state dinners for people to talk to him, he wants to vacation across Europe begging for money, he wants his tenure as president to appear more successful than his failed tv show playing a president, he wants a comfortable palace to live in while they snatch people off the street to fight, he wants the world to keep funding his wife's shopping trips in Paris. Funny I haven't heard anything he wants for his people
This is so ridiculous, it comes off as farce.
What does Zelensky want? Maybe he wants territorial integrity of his country - you know, control over his own borders just like you want for us. Maybe he wants his country's sovereignty to be respected by his neighbors - just like you do.
Why are so many on this board holding Zelensky to different standards than they would hold their own heads of state in a similar circumstance? Who here wouldn't fight to the death for their country? Why would we expect differently from others?

Actually, he did. The only substantive change was to delay it. Read it.
Why is so much political hay made from the 13 young people who gave their lives in service of their country while evacuating Afghanistan, yet no one seems to want to remember the 70 who fell there under Trump?
Why is it that everyone wants to pretend that we were not at war under Trump, but we were at war under Biden - when the exact opposite is true?

While Zelensky has a point that Crimea was taken from Ukraine unlawfully, I don't believe there's a chance in hell that it will belong to Ukraine ever again.
But Zelensky isn't boasting, he's simply being intransigent. You'd think someone as boastful as Trump would understand the difference.

I absolutely did not say or imply that.
When you post that your income tax will go up by an amount over double that of the median income, it comes across as a not so subtle brag.

frick that. I'd rather they increase the death tax - take it after I'm gone, I won't give a shite. After all, aren't we supposed to be a country of self-made, rugged individuals picking ourselves up by our own bootstraps?
If you want to target high-end wealth, increase the exemption and the rate of the inheritance tax.
Personally, I would leave taxes alone until:
a.) the economy stabilizes
2: the budget is balanced.
re: Check in if you consider Arkansas a Rival
Posted by Harry Boutte on 4/23/25 at 12:55 pm
I'd rather LSU play Arkansas on the last weekend of the season again instead of A&M or Oklahoma.
I'm not sure that makes them a rival for me, though, as they're my second favorite SEC program.

That was Kennedy's first choice, but the party wouldn't even allow him to compete against Biden.
Didn't that strike you as being just a touch totalitarian in nature?
Just like the RNC, the DNC is simply a corporation. That corporation can act as it sees fit in matters regarding how it conducts its business. This includes not only the selection of its officers, but also how it selects nominees for office. That a voter can choose to vote for a DNC nominee or not proves that the process is indeed not totalitarian. I had to explain this to my liberal friends when the DNC wouldn't let Bernie run on their ticket. If you don't like how a party conducts its business, don't vote for their nominee.
REMEMBER: The political parties are corporations, they are NOT the government.
That said, RFK Jr. has been a known nut job for years. Some of us just remember him as a junky and kind of feel sorry for the guy. The Kennedy clan never should've let him out of the attic.

re: Egg prices
Posted by Harry Boutte on 4/22/25 at 3:45 pm
Personally, I was always able to buy eggs when I needed them, and I never paid more than $6/doz. I usually get a carton of brown eggs every two weeks or so from a neighborhood Associated Grocery.
