I don't see anywhere in the article you linked the vacancy rate. The only 20% it mentions is that of foreign owned property...I searched the article for every 20.
Then why is it that the merchants are the ones who aren't charging me a dime for the check transactions? If a merchant has $100000 in credit card transactions, that just cost them ~$2500 in revenue that the credit card companies are taking. On the other hand, it's gonna take a minimum wage employee about an hour to deposit those in the merchant line at the bank where there's no waiting....so ~$15 or less plus wear and tear and mileage to the company vehicle...okay, I'll give you another $100. If you need armored car services, many banks provide that for free.
If what you claim is true, then how could they do what they actually did do to me? My response was immediate. Now, it's possible that the laws have changed because my situation occurred back in the early 90s, but other than that I don't see how you could possibly be correct.
Gotta love the angry mods who can't tell the difference between their own butthurt and facts. Yes, it was offtopic for the article, but spot on for this thread.
No, you're letting your political bias/desires get in the way of the facts. This is nothing but pure unmitigated Trump derangement syndrome. Congress, and yes I know it's the committee, has to have a legitimate reason for the request. The fact is that they will make the return public in an attempt to embarrass Trump, which has no legitimate legal purpose. The returns will not be handed over, it will go to court, and eventually to SCOTUS where I predict a party line vote in favor of Trump...but this will go on long after the 2020 election.
Now, I also predict that I'll be accused of being a Trumpette, or some such nonsense. I'll await the hate mail.
Swiss here. I typically carry cash for small purchases - why mess with anything else to buy your lunch? Cash is simpler.
Yankee here. I also carry cash for small purchases, but I use my credit cards for virtually everything because I get airline points or cash back on every purchase. I'll normally leave cash for a tip, but that's about all. I pay off my credit card balance every month, so there are no fees involved for me.
He won't hand over the tax returns of Trump's companies to Congress IN DIRECT DEFIANCE OF US LAW,
Um, bullshit. Congress is arguing that they have the legal right to demand the returns, but that argument is weak, and won't hold up in court. Until the courts decide, it's not in defiance of anyone except the political opposition who still can't believe they lost in 2016.
BTW, Don't confuse me as being a supporter of Trump just because I'm pointing out facts to you.
This is overblown -- the top countries for money laundering are probably the USA and Canada at this point. Who do you think is buying condos in NYC and Vancouver for tens of millions of dollars and leaving them vacant?
Pure speculation on your part. It could also be drug lords laundering money. It could also be Chinese, Russian, or some other nationality billionaires hiding money from their own governments. It would be a lot of things, but if you're going to lay a claim, please point to some evidence.
Privacy is great, but it also allows corrupt billionaire's from China and USA to store money secretly to avoid corruption and taxies. Positives and negatives of everything.
Clearly, the AC is a corrupt billionaire from Russia.
Checks don't cost me anything. In fact, when I pay by check, I'm often saving the fees that many merchants and government offices still tack on for using credit cards. I don't get what you have against them.
The US has never asked anyone to arrest him with the intention of extraditing him....
Not so fast. They're not getting him on classified, they're going after him for hacking.

"The person making $1,000 over the cutoff will feel the tax more than a person making $100,000 above the cutoff..."
So, in other words, some people are poor and some people are less poor. And that's different how?
For the sake of discussion, let's try an example with a 10% flat tax on income above $25k. The person making $26k will pay a grand total of $100. A person making $100k will pay $7500. Do you still have a problem with that?
No, there's no problem in determining X. It's your gross income. Now, if you want to discuss starting it at the poverty line or at some other level, that's a different topic. I'd even be fine with continuing marginal rates, but doing away with ALL deductions, and lowering those rates. We don't need an army of accountants, Turbo Tax, H&R, and the IRS to do all this shit, and should be spending that money on things that are useful.
Well, that's a pretty odd way to look at things. By your definition, every time the corporation makes is out of somebody's pocket, and not really a tax on the corporation.

You just need to contest a transaction to have the money back right away, no questions asked.
Have you actually tried that? I have, and it failed miserably with American Express. I had a completely valid claim, and they flat out denied it.

Where is "over here", that you can easily get your hands on C4? My brief google on this turned up with all sorts of unrelated stuff.
It's similar here in the US. All transactions above $10k

Building codes vary by location but you can expect a total ratio of around 1:1 parking spaces to bedrooms in the complex.
You clearly don't live anywhere in the US.
Only old people use fossil fuel vehicles anymore.
Yeah, because the non-"old people" population is 0.45%?

Hardly an insightful comment since it's flat out wrong.
Honest question. Does India have anything that it manufactures that's high tech and high quality?
You know you're a moron, and so is the idiot who modded you up.
