    I only follow 4 types of grams:

    1) family members

    2) cooking accounts

    3) celebrities my age who I mildly creep on (Susanna Hoffs)

    4) random chicks in bikinis, mostly fishing

    Which group are you in?

    Susanna Hoffs is mine! Back off!

  2. Well I work for the doctor that bought our old ranch
    From First Quality Federal the foreclosures branch
    And he calls me hillbilly and he laughs at my hair
    But the cancer will get him if anything's fair

    Wrong. Dead wrong. An issue with capital gains is there are 2 rates. Short term = ordinary income rates (max ~40%). Long term = lower preferential rate (max ~20%).  Sell 100k stock bought last year for 200k.  Pay 20k on the 100k long term gain.  Sell 100k stock bought 40 years ago for 200k.  Pay 20k on the 100k long term gain. You can’t measure cap gains based solely on the gain and ignore the holding period and ignore the inflation impact over the term.  The 100k gains on those 2 scenarios aren’t remotely similar and shouldn’t be taxed similarly either.  

    Wait, you mean a capital gain is from the sale of a capital asset?

    They have made voting an easy choice. I used to have to study candidates and vote with notes in Texas because both parties had policy views i didnt always support and individual candidates ran on different positions, visions or intensity of devotion to party platform. The GOP has gotten so disgusting.

    Oh man, this. Maybe I'll vote for a Republican again one day for something other than a judge.
