There's more than two girls and there's no cups. swap.avi demonstrates just how desperate people in poorer parts of the world are for even a small amount of money; if those girls would do that for a pretty small amount, what kind of boutique porn are the Trumps and Cruzes of the world making? I suppose the girls could also be human trafficking victims, making the whole thing even worse. kzin602 fucked around with this message at 23:50 on Sep 28, 2017 |

Seems unlikely to me, but I don't know much about online advertising. Plus old Republicans were always going to be at maximum hate for Clinton.

Hellblazer187 posted:Yes, I agree the "reforms" as displayed in the framework are bad. I'm literally just responding to the idea that people buy homes because of the deduction. Was the deduction part of your decision to buy a home? How much on average per year has the mortgage interest deduction saved you? Would you have not bought a home without it? That's what I'm responding to. The overall cost of the loan and long term costs, including tax deductions did figure into me buying a house. Would I have not bought? No, my family needed to buy and renting is out of control in North East Ohio. Would I have bought less house? Debatable. I got a lot of bang for the buck for what I got. Will it make or break me? No, theoretically (Although I had about 40Gs in health care bills for my partners cancer this year which makes this stuff inconsequential since I'm broke either way). I also bought at a low rate (2.9%) which also effects it. Mortgage rates were common in the 7-8% range, and if you can't refinance because you're underwater post crash that deduction could mean more to some people. I do agree with you, I just don't think it's as simple as "most people get nothing out of it". I also don't think it will catastrophically tank home prices either (at least, I hope it doesn't). What I definitely can't afford is a tax increase while we crawl out of the financial hole we've found ourselves in. The cancer was just inconveniently timed so I get crazy when I think about losing any more money for things that don't help my family or community.

The first, but not the last. I can't wait for the medical expense deduction fight to come. Lots of old people in nursing homes will pay higher taxes with that proposal, my grandmother included.

Though that's not surprising if the main goal was to weaken the election result.

I'm no tax policy wonk but how the heck do you respond to someone that tosses you the "45 percent of Americans pay no federal income tax" line? I mean, besides saying this is more an income inequality issue than a tax issue. This announced plan really is grinding the poorest of us to give the richest more tax breaks.

I mean even if that figure only included employed adults, why is that percentage bad? What's the correct percentage of working adults that need to pay federal income taxes? (and if they pull out the "skin in the game" argument, just shout incoherently at them, since that's what they are doing to you)

You respond "Forty five percent of Americans have no goddam income. That's the problem." you could get into the weeds of that number being mostly children and olds, but it's better to turn it around and point out that that means people can't get good jobs that pay decent wages.

Arguing with the average American about tax policy is an exercise in futility when you need to explain basic stuff like what "marginal" in marginal tax rates mean.

I am so happy to know that when the Supreme Court rules on Janus that police unions will get decimated. And then replaced with contractors, probably military, probably Blackwater or someone with very close ties to some Republican group and/or Trumpers. Then with the new huge number of lower level courts being packed by Trump we can usher in the new government with righteous white christian people. God this country is totally hosed.

The 45% of Americans that don't pay any income tax possess, collectively, maybe 1-2% of total US wealth. They don't pay income tax because they hardly have any income to tax - though that doesn't stop them from taking the brunt of some of our more regressive taxes, like sales tax and payroll tax.

Turns out that guy was linking this: http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/model-estimates/tax-units-zero-or-negative-income-tax/tax-units-zero-or-negative-income-tax Which is pretty clearly including non-workers (olds and children). And I had this exact same discussion about this exact same data with someone else six months ago.
