  1. Agreed. The phrase wil be taken out of context, like it has already here, and used against him. He should have known better, but oppression by majority, otherwise known as pure democracy, is not a way to run a country.
  2. Yes the Trump campaign is quite out in the open how a fascist state is what they are planning should they win the next election.
  3. That is a 50% swing and that is using valuations based on possibilities and not what is actually in place. First of all, you don't tell the state what it is worth for property taxes, they tell you what it is worth based on the methods they have to follow (in my case highest and best use under current zoning). So our valuation ranges between $48 million for property tax purposes and $67 million for reporting purposes. We also presented an as-if valuation of roughly $100 million to financial institutions. So, a 100% swing in valuations. In high land value areas I can very easily come up with scenarios where this swing is much larger and none of it would be nefarious. Trump has already been judged to have committed fraud, so I am not defending him at all. But the idea that just because there are wildly different valuations floating around, there must have been fraud, is simply not true. Or, because he tried to reduce his collateral requirement that is proof of fraud, that is simply not true either.
  4. Sure, but those are straight forward. We own a site in Vancouver that based on the current revenue stream generated from the business on the parcel is worth approx. $25 million. The value based on a residual calculation of the current allowable zoning and density puts the value near $48 million. We are 75% through a rezoning and indensification process. We are 100% sure we will achieve that, the residual calculation under those parameters gets us to a $67 million valuation. We are also trying to change one of the allowable uses to a residential use. If we are successful in attaining that, the same parcel would have a value of just shy of $100 million. So, what is the value of the parcel of land?
  5. That doesn't flow from the previous. His net worth minimum is likely the guarantee maximum. You generally want to minimize the value of collateral or recourse. Valuations are not an exact science, including valuations of net worth.
  6. And in the last 5 Presidential election cycles the Kentucky governor election predicted the presidential outcome, so this means it is like totally mathematically impossible for Trump to win.
  7. Republicans ensuring soldiers don't get paid should net some votes for Democrats.
  8. Most of Europe understands.
  9. Then if the 40 vehicles can transport 40 people and the 1 vehicle can transport 50 people it would change the assessment of the subsidies. Basically, you don't know what the goal is and are just throwing shit against the wall. Same with electricity subsidies. Are they meant to increase production, are they meant to try and move production to different sources?
  10. It is only the correct way if the goal of the subsidy is to get more cars produced. If the goal is to get cars with different technology produced, then just basing it on total cars is nonsense.
  11. Somehow she didn't have this issue when travelling with Trump to grift from various countries. The stay was quickly denied by the way.
  12. No clearer admission that he used the job to make money.
  13. I am just wondering how the math would work out really. Currently under most income tax schemes the tax burden get's progressively higher when you start making more. Obviously that is not something that can be built into a sales tax scheme, or at least not very easily. So what does the sales tax have to be to replace the income tax, 20%, 30%? And again this disproportionately helps those with higher incomes and hurt those with lower incomes. If I were selfish, I would be all in favour of it, it would free up mass amounts of money for my family. But I can also guarantee that employers will quickly adjust their remuneration going forward.
  14. How much does sales tax have to rise to replace income taxes? This will disproportionally benefit the rich or those with high incomes and likely punish those with low to medium incomes.
  15. no he doesn't, just steals it in Mexico and drives it across the border.
  16. And yet here you are going on about your car and your properties......
  17. Of what, having your wife provide for you? I mean good for you having a sugar mommy, but I get satisfaction out of doing it myself. To each their own.
  18. Oh but he wanted the innocent 5 black kids executed. But now we know that wishing to kill innocent people is not that bad for you, but reading about some conspiracy theory online is enough to get you to start hating someone. How very Christian of you.
  19. But helping to put 5 innocent black kids in jail is doing God's work!
  20. I don't understand how God brought everyone together to make him Speaker, but God wasn't involved with bringing people together to make Biden President. Since you are apparently a Godly person, I can't wait to read your well reasoned response.
  21. Guess God also selected Biden then. So why did he try and overturn the will of God?
  22. Bud Light just became the Official Beer of UFC. Tough day for Republicans. Thoughts and prayers.
  23. I just know this is going to happen to me!
