Do you consider that a deep thought?

It looks like you took a random word generator and did your best to fit it into a semi-complete sentence.

If I'm reading it correctly, you are thinking (deeply) that my property value decreases when rich people move in, then I sell my house to someone for less than I paid for it? Or something?

Thanks.
??, I’m saying you are very self centered, single minded person who looks at everyone else but yourself and how you could look and be judged by others. People working together solves problems. Also here, with the increase of wealth, people moving in and jobs, the hourly has doubled for many jobs and went well up on all.

I don't own a home, Mike.

Think deeper Mike. You write in platitudes, not reality.

You don’t see the forest from the trees in front of you. What are your goals in obtaining ownership and plan for getting there. Should mine be given to you when I’m done?

You write of a forest and then your question is regarding one specific tree. I don't get it.

The whole forest ecosystem from the shrooms to the oaks is working great for investors, not homeowners.

Have a good day, it’s scary to look inward sometimes 😉.

Lol? Same to you sir.

It seems you lost the argument and are covering for it with vague, incoherent platitudes.

I didn’t lose anything, I never went in the direction you were it’s smoke and mirrors. You look at what’s in front of you, fair in your eyes, your spoiled nature and stop there. If your not part of the solution your part of the problem.

Fake it until you make it, or else you end up trading lemons for lemonade if you know what's good for you then you don't count your eggs in a forest full of bears eating fish who no one here hears.

We good?

It's a pretty well understood concept (maybe not in your circles), and the only reason I can see it has not been implemented is extremely high investment in political campaigns by wealthy people. If municipalities were relying on other sources of taxes than property, then they wouldn't have to jack up the price for existing homeowners. The higher taxes is what forces them o ...[text shortened]... ding what is valued in our society.

All of your posts in this thread need a record scratch sound effect at the beginning.

Wow,..."A shift in policy regarding what is valued in our society". So, Biden and Soros, et al, will all sit down and make policy which tells us what to value in our society. Hmmmmmmmm. Sonhouse does not like the wielding of power, you best run that by him.

No you don't hate the rich, as they create a job for your uncle Herbie. But man, you punish the rich. You are an idiot, and I don't usually get personal. Here is a facey thing 🙂

Punish the rich? Is that how it works? If you create jobs by spending money to employ Mr Herbie then it's not your wealth anymore and it wouldn't be subject to a wealth tax.

Are we punishing workers with income tax?

Are we punishing homeowners with property taxes?

If so, then let's do less punishing of those working people. Wealth in America can shoulder more of the weight to reduce the punishment for workers.

Think of it like property taxes, but for stuff that isn't just your house.

Overall tax revenue is the same but we punish a different demographic.

(By the way I don't think taxes are punishment, just going with your analogy here)
