@202accepted Yet the message of someone has more than me so we are just going to create an odd subclass of people so we can just take more from them does resonate with you?

> Non-residents who spend millions of dollars on NYC apartments help drive NYC’s economy. Most of the profit in condominium development is in the penthouses. i forget that whole swathes of people don’t realize how tone deaf this sounds, even if it’s economically sound

@WonderKing82 Is the new liberal line that people must be paid more than $36/Hr no matter what they do for a living?

$75k may not be comfortable to you but it can be comfortable for millions of people.....

@RepShriThanedar You mean like you just cherry picked? Your Hair Club For Men act is lame dude....

Gas prices when Biden left office: $3.12/gallon Gas prices today under Trump: $4.10 MAGA wants to cherry-pick a specific point in time when gas peaked due to the Ukraine War. The difference is that Biden didn’t attack Ukraine but Trump DID attack Iran.

@cturnbull1968 or first homes...or anything else people own...but sure its only about taking from one group.

If he can tax the second homes of millionaires, that are worth $5M or more, that means it’s only a matter of time before he goes after the second homes of average, hard working, everyday Americans that are barely making it. Diabolical.

@FreeNortherner While I disagree with your first point, your second is spot on....Their glee in taking what is not theirs is crazy..

On the one hand, I think taxing second homes owned by outsiders is generally a good policy for cities. On the other hand, the sadism these people display over taxing is disgusting. They don't care about good policy, they just want to hurt people out of spite and envy.

@intertah @JamesSurowiecki ok germany

@JustLarry_Me @JamesSurowiecki Well, 63% are apparently smart enough to understand the deficiencies of the EC, but the system is so entrenched in the US' electoral system and it's political culture that it can't be removed so easily.

The replies to this are so funny: 4000 people making the exact same bad arguments I've heard my whole life, as if they've somehow never been made before. I know the arguments for the EC - that's why I said there are no good ones. The US has only one office that's elected by American voters as a whole. The fact that we have a system that in that one race allows a minority of voters to dictate to the majority and decide who gets the office is ridiculous and stupidly anti-democratic. We're always going to have it, but that's a bad thing.

@Jayin88akaRelay If I made $90k a year on would buy a Lear Jet and a vacation house in Aspen.

If I made 90K+a year. Il still live in a $1000-$1200 apt and drive a Honda, Acura, Toyota. That’s on everything I love. No foreign car, luxury living, idgaf what’s going on outside.

@TheCensoredRock 2 more opened while you typed this tweet.

Government run grocery stores will take three years to open when I saw a Dollar General appear between the time I got to work and went home

@deadguynoises @GuyTalksFinance Ok. Good luck.

@JustLarry_Me @GuyTalksFinance “You have choices” And your choice for me is to move where the crime rate is higher than where I have ever lived in my life. No. Fuck no. Yes. I have choices.

A $75,000 salary is still a great income in most places. Don’t let the internet fool you.

@TomSteyer That is comical. You don’t mention the amount because you know it makes you look like a fool. It’s $60. His solution to your high rent is to give you a $60 tax credit a year.

Renters are suffering and we need to put money back in Californians' pockets. That's why I will double the renters' tax credit.

@deadguynoises @GuyTalksFinance Lots of IT jobs in Fresno that pay more than $75k. Great place to buy a home. Like I said we all have choices I wish you the best.

@JustLarry_Me @GuyTalksFinance Fresno is a fucking shithole. That place is horrible. I don’t need to go there and “build equity” The issue is that $75k isn’t a good salary everywhere.

@deadguynoises @GuyTalksFinance Buy a duplex. Live in one side rent the other and start building equity.

@deadguynoises @GuyTalksFinance We all have choices. Perhaps you made some that limit your ability to move. That’s a you problem.

@deadguynoises @GuyTalksFinance Spent many years there. Great place to buy your first home and build some equity. Like I said, we all have choices.

@JustLarry_Me @GuyTalksFinance What about the worst part of California?

@GavinNewsom @realDonaldTrump Cool- stop asking for everyone else to pay for your high speed rail boondoggle.

Trump trashes California. California pays his war bills. Perhaps it’s time we look into cutting you off, @realDonaldTrump???

@JuForthePeople Sorry you don’t deserve anything. You get what you make happen.

It’s not radical to believe everyone deserves a home. It’s not radical to believe no one should go bankrupt for getting sick. It’s not radical to believe everyone deserves a living wage. It’s radical to stand against these things so the rich can get richer.

@deadguynoises @GuyTalksFinance Fresno.

@JustLarry_Me @GuyTalksFinance Not specifically talking about the taxes penalizing me. It penalizes our SOCIETY. More money should have gone into it… Remember when CA schools were some of the best?

@vocalcry Cool the IRS accepts donations. Put your money where your mouth is.

I didn't think it was possible but this tweet just made me support more taxes

@deadguynoises @GuyTalksFinance For more years than you have been alive. And no I am not a boomer.

@JustLarry_Me @GuyTalksFinance Do you live in California?
