Participant[quote=citydweller][quote=flu][quote=spdrun]Meh. It’s basically a return to 1990s tax policies. You know, when this country was actually doing decently and had a balanced budget. Pity we won’t be doing anything about the Pigs in the Pentagon. Eisenhower (a General I may add) was right in his farewell speech.[/quote]
….with 2012 inflated dollars and generally weakened purchasing power…
I guess someone starting out really doesn’t need to invest anymore, because wow… just wow… for younger people starting out now, they aren’t gonna be able to accumulate wealth anywhere close to what some of us older folks have been able to…. Pity….[/quote]
flu, it seems like you’ve been able to accumulate wealth, but I get the sense that you are not happy. You seem to have a lot of complaints about the world we live in.
I personally have not accumulated a lot of wealth, but I have learned to be happy with what I have. I do not begrudge any of the money I pay in taxes. I appreciate that the taxes I have paid during my working years have provided me with this incredibly amazing country we live in.
Every day I can flip a switch and my lights come on, I turn a faucet and clean water comes out, I eat at restaurants and have never gotten food poisoning, I make money and put it in the bank and none of it has ever disappeared, I make monthly payments on my condo and I have never had to defend my right to be here. I could go on and on. It frustrates me that some people can live in this incredible abundance and security that we have in the U.S. and still complain because they think we should have MORE![/quote]
Wow, you’re really self-righteous.
IMO it’s largely because of people like flu that we in fact enjoy abundance.
ParticipantI agree, I wouldn’t bet against flu.
Seriously though, it may be time to escape from Cali to another western state.
I believe this election demonstrated that we are in a race/class proxy war in California and the country.
ParticipantI don’t think our legal system is that fair, end the death penalty. End state murder.

I can’t believe people are so excited about this election, when most of them are further away from achieving “The American Dream” than ever.[/quote]
Not really, the new American Dream is to take money from successful people and then live off of the welfare state.
I’d sat they’re doing quite well.
ParticipantI really believe Obama also made this a campaign about and then against white guys.
Participant[quote=CA renter]rich people who buy and sell existing assets (creating nothing/zero sum) while thinking that they are entitled to special tax treatment and who have managed to convince themselves that they are somehow “special” and superior to everybody else.[/quote]
That sounds like the definition of a California gov’t worker.
ParticipantNo unnecessary expenditures.
ParticipantThis is my primary property.
If this was my rental property I’d be in big trouble – thankfully while I’m not aware of any mold at my rental I still had them sign a mold addendum.
This mold looks nasty – I’m definitely having it tested.
Participant[quote=spdrun]Kick whoever installed the carpet in the scrote.
Then kick yourself in the same spot, repeatedly, for not removing the carpet upon purchase.Carpeted bathrooms = worst building idea ever. I’d recommend a match and some kerosine.[/quote]
I was assured by my home inspector that everything was dry, no problem.
We’ve only lived here for just over a year – it’s been on my list and moving to the top but I just never got to it until it became an issue as you can see.
ParticipantI’ll vote for any candidate who puts their constituents needs before Israel’s.
I only know of one candidate that meets that criteria: Gary Johnson
ParticipantI really want to believe this didn’t happen as reported/implied, but if it’s even close to the truth this pussy is a TOTAL POS to say the least:
ParticipantThe only think I can think that should have mandated backup power is frickin elevators – at least enough reserve battery power to lower the elevator to the next lowest safe floor and open the doors.
ParticipantGov. Christie with his annoying matter-of-fact attitude criticizing the AC mayor (Lorenzo Langford) for allowing adults to make decisions for themselves.
Even the Republicans want a nanny state so guys like Christie can look like a Savior.
Participant[quote=blake]It’s amazing how little press coverage on this.[/quote]
That’s what sandy was for….
