  1. Has anyone actually modeled this? Is this really one of the primary outcomes expected from a progressive wealth tax?
  2. How does a progressive wealth tax in particular help effect the goal of making home ownership more attainable? I am open to the idea if you can connect the dots. Foreign speculation in domestic housing markets seems to be low hanging fruit. Property taxes another one, but thats local/state and not federal. Maybe trade in a couple aircraft carriers to buy down mortgage rates. I don't know how people can make the current rates work with the current market prices for real estate.
  3. It really doesn't have to be this hard.
  4. Tilt at more windmills guy.
  5. Love subsidizing european and middle eastern social welfare programs with American taxpayer dollars. What a world.
  6. You're cracking man. I was trying to agree with you. You fn weirdos don't know how to take it when I agree with you.
  7. Sorry you are bailing out. I don't think the exchange is hard to track unless you want it to be.
  8. Fiscal policy, petrodollar, aircraft carriers, shit like that.
  9. Smoke more weed turtle.
  10. I think the answer to this question is implicit in my prior response. Why are you trying to make a disagreement where one does not exist? Some of you just have no idea how to coalition build. And you wonder why your "democracy" fails you.
  11. Yes, I know.
  12. I mean, home ownership attainability is basically a hallmark of the American middle class. Which demonstrates exactly how much we have divorced the middle class from the middle income. And certainly distributionally lower income.
  13. Good strawman. Stopping being so fn histrionic in every exchange here.
  14. If you work 40 hours a week in America, home ownership should be attainable. If it is not, that is a problem. Oh god brisket, shut the fuck up.
  15. He's just repeating to you talking points from the Israeli Foreign Ministry twitter account.
  16. Agree completely. We need to make the american dream attainable again.
  17. From the Al Jazeera article. Who is being released? A total of 250 Palestinian political prisoners who are either serving life sentences or long sentences are being released from Israeli jails. According to data obtained by Al Jazeera, all but nine of these prisoners are from the West Bank, and 157 of them are members of Fatah, the party that controls the Palestinian Authority governing parts of the West Bank. Sixty-five are from Hamas, and the rest are from smaller political factions. In addition, Israel will free 1,718 Palestinians who were, according to the United Nations, forcefully disappeared by Israel over the last two years of its genocidal war on Gaza. Five of them are children under the age of 18, and two are women, according to the prisoner list obtained by Al Jazeera. Most of the disappeared from Gaza were held in military camps, where dehumanisation and torture were rampant, according to international and Israeli and Palestinian human rights groups. Palestinians were reportedly subjected to severe beatings, medical neglect, starvation and even rape. According to the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society, 77 prisoners have died in Israeli custody since October 7.
  18. Oh good, tweets from @IsraelWarRoom.
  19. If what I read was correct, there was only one remaining female and she was released. Most females were released in the earlier exchanges.
  20. Your US Ambassador to Israel. The BlueAnons fixated on pee pee tapes and Russian hookers. LOL. The low hanging fruit of foreign interference in American politics has been right in the your face the whole time.
  21. I understand.
  22. I have not read the article, but Wittes is nowhere near a neutral commentary. He was knee deep in the shit.
  23. Nothing wrong with drinking going down. Agree that reproduction rate is problematic. We'll break out of that one I think eventually, it's a bit of a uphill climb against some of the societal, cultural, and economic influences.
  24. Don't start now with that gay math shit dawg. This is the stonks thread.
