Durango is larger than the Tahoe in wheel base and exterior dimensions. However, it has the smallest front seat in class. It’s cockpit is smaller than the RAV4, Highlander, and Ford Escape. Even sub compact SUVs offer more driver space. It’s not competitive with th CUV class or the sub compacts in terms of driver leg…

The embassy doesn’t provide much of a service. They don’t exist to support expats, that’s a byproduct of thier existence. The embassy would be there whether there was a single US citizen in country or not. What benefits does the expat retain? They aren’t prot cited by US law, they aren’t protected by the US military,…

But that’s only on people who lived overseas for less than 24 months. Once you cross 2 years, you stop filing US tax altogether. So a US citizen making the Canadian median income of $52,000 a year and already paying 32% in Canadian taxes has about $35k in disposable income. How much of that do you want to take for the…

You’re insane. You want US citizens living abroad to pay both the host nation tax and the US taxes. A roughly 80% tax on income. Genius.

But most don’t do these things. Most have never been to the embassy in their resident country and most do not fall under the direct protection of the US Armed Forces (except in the abstract, US global police concept).

No, I’m not a dog or child.

I think GM clearly got their market research right. Sales are an indication of appeal which is why they matter. They tell you whether things like leg room or reliability are an issue.

Why? These people aren’t using any of the services the government provides. The exist at no cost to the rest of us and are paying taxes in the nation in which the reside.

But we don’t tax income accrued overseas as it is (as long as you are out of the country more than 24 months.

The seat was stolen when they murdered Scalia. Not when the repubes delayed confirmation.

How would you enforce that? If the renounce thier citizenship, the US has no legal standing. You gonna send the IRS to Thailand to root out expats?

There are plent of places as nice or nicer than the US to reside if the US taxes make it uneconomical. Costs Rica, Ireland, Belize, Uruguay, Canada, Switzerland all have a great standard of living and no real death tax.

60% would keep people from investing altogether. It would destroy nearly every market. Can you imagine what kind of interest rate you’d have to get (or pay, if you are the lendee) if you factored in a 60% tax? No one would buy stocks, mutual funds, CDs, currency, commodities or any other traditional investment if the…

Jesus. Companies don’t grow by laying off employees or treating them like crap.

I don’t think that’s the argument he’s making. He’s saying that when people invest earned income, generate a return, and pay capital gains taxes, that original investment was still earned.

And as the #1 selling SUV in that segment, it’s clearly competitive.

Which it is.

But your using a single issue, that is a matter of opinion, to dismiss the Tahoe entirely. You want a bigger third seat, got it. Hundreds of thousands of buys don’t or don’t care.

It’s not that easy for a country like NorK. Western powers with satellites, sonar stations, long range reconnaissance flights and intelligence sharing with allies, sure. NorK is limited in all those areas. The US didn’t have to fool the world, just an isolated state that has been known to use CNN as its primary source…

My numbers came from CR. Your stats supported my post and are slightly different but still show the Tahoe being larger in the first two rows, smaller in the third with more space overall. Dude, I dont even own an SUV. I kinda think they are poor at everything, even the SRT/Hellcat/minivan with a lift models. Slow,…
