I love how all these 'I'm financially successful and here's how' stories basically start with 'my parents supported me and i landed a well paying job in my early twenties'. You show 'em, you bootstrapping titan of industry.

Lexicon posted:Shut it down; outsource the whole thing to the IRS. They seem to get poo poo done. Haha, nope. The Republicans in congress have been reducing funding to the IRS for years, despite the IRS's enforcement arm being one of the best moneymakers the US government has. quote:As a result of cuts, the IRS is conducting fewer audits overall and fewer audits of high-income taxpayers and businesses. In 2010, it audited 1.1 percent of individual returns; in 2015, it audited only 0.8 percent, the lowest level in a decade.[19] The IRS audited 1.2 million taxpayers in 2015 — 13,700 fewer than in 2014 and over 350,000 below 2010.[20] This represents a 22 percent drop. Audits recovered about 30 percent ($30 billion) less in revenue in the past five years than in the prior five years. RealityWarCriminal fucked around with this message at 19:54 on Sep 13, 2016 |

Rock bottom interest rates and easy credit have been a thing globally since like 2009. I'm surprised they aren't more bubbles, really. e: not exactly "since" 2009, but that's when the trend started. RealityWarCriminal fucked around with this message at 22:39 on Sep 28, 2016 |

Baronjutter posted:You joke but this is already happening. 2 couples will team up to buy a house and live like roomates. I know some people in vancouver, 2 people and a kid who invited the guy's friend to go in 3-way to buy a house with a suite. The suite was not for the 3rd guy, he was to live with them as a roommate, the suite was of course needed to be rented out to make their mortgage payments on top of their 3 combined incomes. I was in a situation kind of like this last year. My girlfriend at the time was still living with her ex, and then I moved in. It was awkward. Terrible soundproofing in the house didn't help, either.

If property taxes were levied in the intuitive way people think they are, cities might actually be able to afford things like public transit and infrastructure improvement without having to beg the provincial and federal governments.

Q: And what about legal immigration? Do you want to cut the number of immigrants? TRUMP: Oh legal, no, no, no. I want people to come into the country legally. No, legally? No. I want people to come in legally. But I want people to come in on merit. I want to go to a merit-based system. Actually two countries that have very strong systems are Australia and Canada. And I like those systems very much, they’re very strong, they’re very good, I like them very much. We’re going to a much more merit-based system. But I absolutely want talented people coming in, I want people that are going to love our country coming in, I want people that are going to contribute to our country coming in. We want a provision at the right time, we want people that are coming in and will commit to not getting…not receiving any form of subsidy to live in our country for at least a five-year period.

Postess with the Mostest posted:I'm like half VUN and half VXC with a smattering of ironic Hydro One shares. No way is the american economy crashing though, I think he's posting as his new username. The last times the US had an unemployment rate below 5% were in 2008, before the housing crash, and in 2001, before the dotcom crash, and before that, in the 70s. It's at I believe 4.4% right now. It cant keep growing for too much longer. Chaos in the White House isn't helping matters, with their big promises of tax cuts and infrastructure spending seeming unlikely. It's hard to time this poo poo, but a downturn is coming, guaranteed.
