@tooshrill @canderaid Renting out a property needs to be worthwhile compared to selling and investing in something else. If selling and investing in stocks/bonds/gold is better, you don't have anywhere to live.

@canderaid Please explain the benevolent, good for the renters, actually, reason why my landlord increases the rent “to stay in line with the market” despite the fact that the apartment I’m renting has no outstanding mortgage on it

These guys literally believe that rent is strictly a function of landlord greediness: when rent goes up it’s because landlords got greedier and when it goes down it’s because landlords got nicer. This is something a toddler would believe but it’s what they think

@edubartrina @LaProfeMonicaH Dicho de otra forma, si hay un sujeto, SÍ se dice habrían/hubieran. - (Ellos) lo hubieran dicho ✔️ - Habrían más gente si lo anunciaran ❌ (habría porque 'gente' no es sujeto, es complemento directo)

@LaProfeMonicaH Cuidado. 2 errores. 1. En la primera parte del vídeo: uso del verbo haber en impersonal. Verbo singular + complemento directo (NO es sujeto) 2. Hubieron + participio = pretérito anterior (el pluscuamperfecto es habían + participio). Por el resto, gran video.

¿Por qué no debemos HUBIERON?

@SteveSayersOne @DomOfClarkes @lewis_goodall It would be very convenient for me too if the poor shouldered the burden of funding the state. It just seems a bit unfair.

I’m sharing for ‘fair’ & simple cost effective taxation, shift it all to VAT - it all gets spent eventually / it would reduce the state stop all the wittering between parties & boost the economy - it won’t happen of course ‘cos it’s too simple for the state - and yes I’m arguing for zero inheritance tax - I don’t want your patents money - I don’t want you or your kids or illegal migrants having mine.

No, it really shouldn’t.

@DomOfClarkes @SteveSayersOne @lewis_goodall As a thought experiment - if someone said that I could pay no tax while I'm alive and then pay what I owe when I die. I'd be all for that. Obviously that's extreme but you can work backwards from there and get to something fairer than the current system.

@SteveSayersOne @DomOfClarkes @lewis_goodall Totally agree. So would you be in favour of finding ways to help people keep the money they work for - perhaps by taxing unearned income more to fill the gap?

@DomOfClarkes @lewis_goodall Frozen levels since 2009 and to remain so till at least 2030 - thieves grok.com/share/bGVnYWN5…

@MugComics @visualbasic97 They could watch the video to understand but they're having too much fun getting offended

@visualbasic97 i hope americans know that this thumbnail is waaaaay out of context

bruh

@jocelynrache Watch the video. She does a pretty good job

@TXCustodialDad @firasd @MattZeitlin If you want schools and stuff, you need to raise at least some taxes from somewhere. Of the options available, property tax is a pretty good one because land is limited and it's not a disincentive to being productive.

@firasd @MattZeitlin Okay, I'll bite. Why is it defensible? Is it because you don't own property? Is it because you feel guilty about the property you own? Do you feel that we should never actually own property free of the government? I'm not anti-property tax but this is just... Stupid

the idea that property taxes are *especially* offensive once you no longer have a mortgage is an interesting one

@klng0fn0thing @MarkUltramaga @elonmusk Where's the money coming from if there are no taxes?

@DaveCookUK @MarkUltramaga @elonmusk By using the money they would save by deleting the irs and other inflated parts of the government.

The IRS just said it wants $20B more money. Do you think it’s budget should be:

@elonmusk World's richest man doesn't want to pay taxes... Not the best look

Well, the public has made their view clear … 😂

@BullMooseMemes @iAnonPatriot Indeed! Down with the military! End social security! Default on the debt! No more USD as a reserve currency!

@iAnonPatriot Abolish taxation! Taxation is theft!

BREAKING 🚨 Elon Musk hints at DELETING the IRS… Thoughts?

@iAnonPatriot So the richest man in the world doesn't want to pay taxes? Shocking!

@savag91165 @iAnonPatriot So no taxes at all? No military? No social security? There would probably be at least a few Americans who wouldn't call that a victory.

@iAnonPatriot 🤔 I agree. I don't think anyone would protest getting rid of the IRS. This would be a victory for all americans.

@MarkUltramaga @elonmusk How is the country supposed to pay back the debt if it can't raise taxes?

America's debt is $36,000,000,000,000 (trillion). That is a lot of F'ing zeros. It is equivalent to $106,000 per person living in America. That is what we are leaving our children. DELETE THE IRS!

@BrittanyXVenti @elonmusk What tax do you think there should be instead?

@farzyness @elonmusk Deleting 99% of the budget would get rid of Medicare, Medicade, Social Security, and the military. Are you sure?

@elonmusk How about we go to a flat tax with no deductions and delete 99% of their budget so that filing and collecting taxes is the easiest thing of all time? Can’t be that hard.

@elonmusk Why oh why would Elon Musk want to defund the IRS... 🤔? Surely the richest man in the world is the best person to set his own taxes? No conflict of interest there.

@RevoltemInk @ishaantharoor Whataboutism

Mexican President Sheinbaum fires back at Trump in a statement: "Seventy percent of the illegal weapons seized from criminals in Mexico come from your country. We do not produce these weapons, nor do we consume synthetic drugs. Tragically, it is in our country that lives are lost to the violence resulting from meeting the drug demand in yours."

@RAFAELLO64 @ishaantharoor Whataboutism

@DaveCookUK @ishaantharoor Yeah, and they didn´t find anything, in fact, he was investigated for decades, even by opposition related 'journalists', no one ever found anything, so they have to come up with a lie. But there's something more important you should be really worried about.

@pataimel @ishaantharoor My president is Claudia Sheinbaum and as far as I know, she's not a rapist.

@DaveCookUK @ishaantharoor Your president is a convicted felon, pedophile and rapist... what are you talking about?
