No, he’s pointing out that non-rich people also take the deduction, so completely eliminating it might not be wise. Yes, the vast majority of the benefits accrue to the rich, but that could be mitigated by capping the benefit far below $1M, or limiting it to one residence.

Do you know how much this sucks when you rent a house? No tax breaks for you!

Expressing my opinion = expressing an opinion

I think what he means is that for decades now, in many parts of the country (not your part, presumably) “liberal” has been and is a four-letter word and people who ascribe to those beliefs often prefer not to openly label themselves with terms like that. Even now, with significantly increased polarization across the…

“I’m not from here! I have my own customs!”

A lot of assumptions being made here: “need”? “Friends”?

Is that you, Progressive Liberal?

Ok, all politics aside, he may actually want to cool it, maybe lay low for a while. The people he’s antagonizing are not exactly known for having a real firm grasp on reality.  

A lack of jobs, drug addiction, poverty.

Look, I’m no Tucker Carlson fan. I’ve loathed the guy since his bowtie days. I’m just pointing out that he did not call her a Nazi.

 ... and if you were a Nazi I would say the same thing to you

“I believe their first suspending and then firing her was directly because of her appearing on the Tucker Carlson TV show, and is a violation of her federal and state constitutional rights to free speech,” Farber said.

I have no doubt the the court will uphold the ban when they hear the case. Gorsuch owes Donnie for his gig and who knows what else. Thomas is just a waste of a robe and who knows what Kennedy will do. I used to have faith in the impartiality of the court but it is stained with partisanship as the country leans toward…

Have you been overseas since Trump was elected? Its not great.

The Supreme Court will hear arguments in the case in October.

Yet another example of how there would be “basically no difference” whether Hillary or Trump won, because they were “essentially the same.”

Xenophobia. The ban wouldn’t have stopped a single attack and there is literally no reason to have it. If they were interested in “figuring it out” they had plenty of time to do so. The ban is the justification for the ban and now the entire country looks like a bunch of fucking hillbilly assholes. Shameful time to be…

Wasn’t the whole point of the ban to give the government time to ‘figure out what was going on.’ Since presumably nothing prevented them from ‘figuring stuff out’ during the last several months, what is the reason for continuing the ban now?

Thank Jeebus. There have been SO MANY TERROR attacks in the past 6 months that this would have prevented. I mean, its totally worth all the tourism dollars we’re losing… Eroding our global perception and treatment of American tourists overseas.
