My property tax valuation is less than 50 percent of the market price. Tell me that I am different. Obviously most of the critics in this thread have never been home owners. Nor have they ever applied for a loan based on their real estate equities. If we are forced to pay taxes based upon the current housing market about 50 percent of us wouldn't be able to afford our living space. Retired people in particular would be utterly devastated.

Also the first amendment is more than just the freedom of speech, it's also the freedom to practice religion and creates a separation between the government and religion through the establishment clause which prohibits the government in any way shape or form from supporting or establishing or promoting any religion. I say this because you'll get a lot of conservatives saying that they're freedom of speech and first amendment rights are being trampled on but at the same time trying to say that America is a Christian state and nonsense such as that.

I have been in court where people were put in jail for being a few minutes late, when the nearest highway had been shut down by a huge wreck. I have seen videos where people were put in jail for contempt for wearing a hat or not pulling their pants up (presumably because the person in charge was a fashion judge). Trump should be in jail and have no access to the press or social media and would be, if he was treated like any other US citizen.

irrelevant. Contempt of Court can land you in jail irrespective of whether the case itself was criminal or civil. Trump doesn't need to post bail nor could the judge put a condition like that on him but if any normal person had behaved like Trump has, they'd be wondering how their civil case spiraled into them being in the pokey.

I don't think that any of the judges are terrified of putting Trump in jail for his behavior in the court room on in front of media. I think that the different judges are allowing Trump and his lawyers say the most outrageous things for two different reasons. 1st, they are letting him hang himself by letting him continue to confess to his crimes both in court and in the media as he has been doing for years now. 2nd, Trump's lawyers are letting Trump say the most unhinged things in the hope that each judge will get so irritated with what Trump is saying that the judge will either have to declare a mistrial or the judge will get frustrated and say the wrong thing to Trump and then the lawyers will have a reason to appeal whatever judgement Trump receives. I know that the majority of us are beyond tired of seeing and hearing about Trump and what he thinks but I believe that the prosecutors and judges are playing the long game now so that Trump will hopefully lose most of his money first and then he will be locked away for a very long time. Trump and his kids (that committed crimes with him) need to learn what it's like to be treated like any other American citizen that breaks the law. This is especially important since Trump has been committing crimes for years and has used his money and the legal system to escape being forced to payback all those businesses and people he didn't pay in (at least) the state of New York. Trump also needs to pay for the hell and embarrassment he has put our country through. Most of all, he needs to be brought to justice so that his followers might finally see how he has screwed them over the most. His supporters need to see how he has used and abused them.

Lol, it's said that Trump doesn't pay his attorneys but instead tells them "Sue Me, I'll tie your poor a** up in court so long, you'll go broke, lose your house and your wife". That's how Trump plays the game. So she should instead be asking how she's gonna get paid.

Question. So there is a signed rule that says "Club members can not stay for more than 21 days a year in the guest suites". How the hell would his opinion of "Just make a club with one member" allow it to be used as a private residence? He is only allowed to be there for 21 days a year if he sleeps there overnight. I presume he is not following the rule and that is why, but just my curiosity.

“The smart thing to do is declare it a club and have one member.” This is why people talk about a wealth tax, because no matter how big a legal bite the autocrats have to take it will never match up to the amount they hide through loopholes.

@jj4791 6 ай бұрын

Loopholes are written into the tax code by the people they are meant for. Wealthy people can hire lawyers to figure out how congress, judges, and presidents have structured the legal system for themselves.

@@jj4791Taxation is considered moral because it is seen as overall beneficial for all of society, and because we have agreed to taxation through the laws and political representatives we vote for. Taxation is moral, but only so long as it is fair. With all the loopholes the rich benefit from there is a lack of fairness. With the fact that people barely make enough to get by, but are expected to pay a similar percentage of tax as someone making enough to sustain a town of families is also not fair. So the immorality lies in the fact that the rich are not contributing enough via taxes and the burden falls on the middle class and the poor. On top of that the rich are subsidized and bailed way more than the middle class or poor. So they disproportionately pay less tax and disproportionately benefit from taxes paid.
