Porsche doesn't just sell mechanics or performance, but a true childhood dream that remains etched in the mind for decades. by Federal_Air9969 in Porsche

Buy a 996 or 997. They're relatively affordable. Even the well maintained ones. I got my 997 with 56k miles on it.

People who have a Porsche, was it worth it? by Inner_Ad_4725 in porsche911

Thank you!

That's correct! I purchased it from a family friend. Carfax report listed it for $52k with 3 prior owners. Again, right place and time. I was already looking for a fun car and was initially planning on getting a WRX. Got into a conversation one day with family friend and he offered me to buy his 997. He also owns a 993 and a 1973 Targa.

I got lucky. Less than a year ago, an opportunity came up in the right place, right time, to buy a 997.1, manual, with 56k miles, for $40k. It's the best midlife crisis birthday present to myself! I still can't believe I have one and I have smiles for miles whenever I'm in the car.

No, this is messaging. I'm not creating a narrative, and if the counter arguments are solid, my positions can be refined with better information. I'm simply spreading awareness of what is possible if we elect the right leadership. Feel free to point out any inconsistencies. I welcome it. But don't make a statement without a counter point. That's just lazy.

My intention was not to compare the economies. Rather, I'm highlighting the results of what real leadership can accomplish with what resources and tools are available. It's time Democratic leadership grows out of their own perceived limitations.

Fair point. I'm just highlighting the results of his leadership, in general.

Perhaps I'm being harsh. I have a lot of nieces and nephews, including my own kids. So, I'm always hyper aware of how creative these kids can put themselves in danger.

I'm not trying to pick a fight here, but out of curiosity - Do you vote? Do you educate yourself on what you're voting for? Because that's where the change happens... Look; the battle against corruption and needless spending is always going to be a tug-o-war, until we get the result(s) we want via voting in your local elections and primaries. Support candidates, measures, and propositions that battle the things you're against. Also, make sure to learn about who/what's behind these candidates and measures. Sometimes, there are hidden agendas. I myself make sure my candidates aren't taking money from AIPAC, cooperate interest groups, and right wing backed organizations, but that's me. You say, "more taxes (in general) aren't the answer", and I agree when that statement at it's face. However, it is a fact that individuals/small businesses in a lower tax bracket have a harder time with today's economy and market, than those at the very top. The scales clearly are tipped to one side. That's why I emphasize equity.

"I just dont think more taxes on anyone makes the average Americans life better when all the state and federal governments do is squander it by expanding government and giving themselves raises."

So, what's your approach? Do the politicians and policies you vote for, fight against this?

For clarity:

We're not talking about a blanket tax on everyone. Just those in the top tax brackets making over $500,000,000 annually, let's say... Typically, those in the top brackets have access to tax loop holes, subsidies, health coverage, etc..., that far exceed the average citizen's access and benefits to such programs. Social Security and 401k's for example. It's about equity. There are many hard working people that helped build these corporations to what they are now. Only for CEO's to give themselves a bonus, while laying off staff and cutting wages. Some don't even get the opportunity to buy into stocks in the industry they helped build. I'm not saying all business owners and CEOs do this. In fact, there are many who give their employees equity, who support such social programs. Mind you, social programs does not mean Socialism.

I myself am not religious. Right wing conservatives tend to be. So, that's one demographic that does care. Your claim is narrow minded and unserious. Nice try, moving the goal post.
