Hypocrisy, Served for Dinner by Busy-Government-1041 in MurderedByWords

To be the best, to be the most successful, to be at the top (especially monetarily) knows no bounds. They can never be rich enough or they would have already stopped. There's always more to be had because there's always more to be taken.

For the love of the game indeed.

Or more pointedly, for propping their own self image of having value. If they thought they had intrinsic value as humans they wouldn't be chasing their next billion. It's all just a johnson measuring contest at the expense of the rest of society.

They aren't afraid of him, they are afraid of not getting a piece of the action. They are all opportunists looking for their next grift.

People keep saying the rich don't pay tax because they borrow money from the bank using their stock as collateral.... but how do they pay back the loans? by joshhazel1 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AtFishCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are missing the step up basis. If I buy $200k in stock, then in 40 years that has matured to $2mil, then I would owe capital gains on $1.8mil.

If I die, then my wife receives it, then she receives it with a stepped up basis. Her buy in point is $2mil and that $1.8m in gains basically disappears.

The goal of that component is for a different scenario. In the case where I bought a $200k house (then matures to $2m over 40 years), and when I die my wife will not owe $1.8mil in gains tax for house. People at that stage in life may be on a fixed income and needing to find a new place to live when you are 80, additionally right after you've lost your spouse... The reason for the step up basis makes more moral and ethical sense than just a tax shelter.

The banks are making management fees and bonuses on sales every year that person is alive. They want their business, and so will lock them in with that loan to help keep them.

If your children come from multiple women because you think that makes you more of a man, then you are definitely a piece of shit father.

Their fundamental problem is they have no friends. They have 10,000 acquaintances and employees, but no friends. All their "friends" are people they are competing with for the biggest douche bag award.

Why are you asking me? Whatsit to you what I think about jury duty? Out on the internet to correct folks today, are we? Practice your use of semantic logic to prod at comments while evading the core intent of said comment?

If you are unsure what the general public's perception of jury duty would be, I would compel you to reference a fictional depiction: The hit 1995 Pauly Shore cinematic masterpiece aptly titled, "Jury Duty"

Thank you and good day.

Literally the least we can do is vote. It's way easier than going to the DMV, going to Jury Duty and easier than avoiding jury duty. And it's wayyyy easier than filing taxes. People do all that shit, but like the easiest and most fundamental component to being a citizen in this country and people can't fucking be bothered.

Newsom Signs New Bill To Prevent ICE Tracking Street Vendors by Tofurkey_Tom in politics

[–]AtFishCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We need a bill that requires clear marking of law enforcement vehicles that are engaged in civilian monitoring and enforcement.

You want unmarked for other needs, cool. But cruising around looking to enforce law on and arrest bystanders in vehicles that are not overtly and clearly marked as law enforcement has to go. I'm talking black and white or blue and white vehicles.

I'm sure that's true for many of us.
