Speaking as the most liberal Realtor that I know and am not related to, I have to raise a question here.

Does anybody know what our ranking among the states is regarding total net worth to tax on a per capita basis?

I am curious because I do know that friends and family members in “the biz” in other states regularly comment how low our property taxes are here.

While I agree with your basic thesis, the one thing I would add is the investment dimension.

For the people buying for the purpose of renting the property out, the magic number I am seeing is 8% return on their investment annually.

If someone feels that they are getting about 1/12th of their money back each year, that seems to make sense for them.

[quote=qwerty007]I notice on some US news TV stations they play up the “international celebrations” thing, but the truth is that the world is a very big place, and it is likely only a small percentage of people follow US elections. Obama’s victory will be reported in national papers, but a lot of people won’t really know who he is, or much about him. The fact that he has African American roots will attract attention, but not much else. There is a bit of a misperception in the US that the rest of the world is sitting in the same room, but this is a little removed from the reality.

However, you are right that Bush has put the US under the international spotlight, and blotted the proverbial copy-book somewhat. In direct contrast, Obama will be seen as a very moderate figure, who is much more fluent in world-speak. His tone and demeanor are less likely to inflame the ranks of anti-Americanism. Anyone listening to his closing speech last night, would have been struck by his conciliatory tones, realism, and understatement. Whether he lives up to the task in hand remains to be seen, but if his campaign is anything to go by, there’s hope in my view.[/quote]

Obama is probably the only dude who had a passport the same age as me. I was 3 weeks old.
My son was 5 weeks old.

This is not an indictment of his policies but I always found it really pathetic that W applied for his first passport after assuming office.

I kind of think that travel and experience should be a prerequisite to being the most powerful man on earth.

I know its not and perhaps that is elitist and snobby but being naive just grates on me so.
