Every state taxes real property, such as a home. The amount of the tax is based on assessed value, which may rise or fall without the home being sold.

Property taxes are based on an assessment of your home’s value. When that assessed value goes up, your taxes go up. A few places may have laws that lock in the accessed value, but most don’t.

I pay property taxes on my land and it will go up if the value of my land goes up. Maybe we should have stock taxes to make the whole “stocks are like houses” a reasonable comparison.

Can’t wait to hear how this is somehow Bernie’s fault

Good lord he’s such a petulant little piss-baby

You mean the Elon Musk foundation?

Does that excuse him from insider trading?

I think the takeaway is “blatant insider trading but we are dancing around it for fun joke.”

She does go on to explain that if she sells the property in the future for the same price, she’ll owe taxes on that $3 million again. But until that day, she’s basically getting an interest-free loan from the government.

Top Gun is one of the worst movies to have made the most money; that thing wasn’t just a Transformers-level hit but an inescapable cultural moment and it is nearly unwatchable.

I watched the original It (which I guess was actually a TV miniseries or something) for the first time when I was in college and it is absolutely terrible. Like laughably bad. I love Tim Curry as much as the next guy but it is not the least bit scary and yet people my age who saw it as children always seemed…

Hackers. Absolute trash movie that I will watch every time it’s on just because it was such a great watch on SciFi (pre-SyFy badging ;)) Channel whenever it was on. It’s in the place where I put that thing that time...

I knew she was kinda weird and dumb, but now I know she’s a complete dipshit asshole! Thanks, Shailene!

His name is literally Car Bro.

man the trolls are out of the greys early on this one.

It’s sad to see how sexism is still so rife in 2021...

Yeah, I watched the video and there was no lurching. Looks like he just let off the brakes a bit (not fully as the brake lights appear to be on) and let the car creep forward naturally a tiny bit.

This article read as if the Sunrise Movement wrote it.

Maybe lurched was a bit of an exaggeration, but you don’t drive into peaceful protestors, especially if you are a US Senator.

Was there another video that wasn’t linked with the mentioned “lurched forward”? Letting the car creep forward instead of just waiting for the guys that were clearing them away to finish doing so wasn’t a great move, but it also wasn’t some Charlottesville incident in the making.
