Do you plan to retire some day? Here is a kiss for you!

Please, attack the post, not the poster.

Sly, I can take it. Please don't interject on my behalf.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

did you mean to quote my post? Because um...I didn't attack the poster.

Pompous. Feewings. You kinda did and you kinda didn't. I didn't edit anything but at the least you're trying to needle the shit out of him.

Just a friendly reminder.

so, should I have called him ignorant, a fucking moron and an ignoramus instead?

gotcha.

And if they're on a fixed income, that means they're NOT making over 500K.

And if they sell their house, chances are their income PLUS the CG's from the sale of the house, won't be over 500K.

Most seniors living on a fixed income don't live in houses that are worth 500K...why not?

Because they're on a fixed income.

Not sure why you think these people are paying this tax.

Seriously, is SlyPokerDog fucking retarded? Take, for example, someone living in Arlington, VA. The buy their house in the 50s for $8-10K. They live a quiet life and want to sell their house. Now they're selling their three bedroom ranch for high six/low seven figures. They live on social security. Why would you hurt those people like that? You can go through story after story in every metro area in the country and come up with these examples. And all to pay for a government program that limits their health care options.

And you claim to be compassionate. Remarkable.

Sly, I can take it. Please don't interject on my behalf.

Honestly it wasn't on your behalf. In the PapaG was banned thread the biggest complaint is that the forum isn't moderated fairly. Some people made some very valid points.

 

[maxiep]

Thanks, I'll let you talk out of your ass.



you do realize that if you pay 3800 and you're living on Social Security, it most likely means you made a HUGE profit from your sale, right?



Actually, I know someone who is far richer than you, and they're far more compassionate than you are. That is, unless you're taking in a couple million per year.



says the man who claims people making 250K are barely making ends meet...



ah, the old "you're just jealous" card..Yeah, that must be it. I'm jealous of some guy on a message board. Yep, that's me!

gosh I wish I was pompous and could brag on a message board!

You know what really wealthy people do?

They don't waste time bragging about how wealthy they are, or their houses, or on a message board. They're busy working. Making money.



ahh...did someone get their feewings hurt?

I'm not one of life's losers who never left the cocoon of Portland and who need to ask others for help to obtain what they want. Pay your own way in life and then you can talk to me about these issues. Until that time, thank me for subsidizing your life.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

so, should I have called him ignorant, a fucking moron and an ignoramus instead?

gotcha.

I think I edited all the posts with those insults in them so that would mean, NO, I don't you should be calling anyone that.

lol people who don't leave Portland are losers?

Gawd, you are out of touch with reality.

 

[maxiep]

I'm asking you to make an exception in my case. I never want an insult to me edited or deleted. Moderate others (including me), but please don't moderate those who cross the line when posting in response to me.

 

[maxiep]

Reading comprehension problems?

 

[julius]

I think I edited all the posts with those insults in them so that would mean, NO, I don't you should be calling anyone that.

so instead of quoting the one that actually crossed the line, repeatedly, you quoted mine.

well, nice to see there's a double standard here.

 

[maxiep]

yeah, you're not arrogant.

I never said I wasn't arrogant.

 

[MickZagger]

Reading comprehension problems?

Your insecurities are not your greatest feature.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Better yet it's a kiss for anyone that wants to live on their own.

 

[maxiep]

Your insecurities are not your greatest feature.

Neither is your intellect.

And you claim to be compassionate. Remarkable.

Not sure what any of this has to do with anything.

But considering you have continued with name calling, I think it speaks to the heart of your problem. You are angry about something, and feel the need to put someone else down to build yourself up.

Fine, if thats what it takes to make you feel good about yourself, go ahead. Use a term that mocks people with special needs to make yourself feel better than me.

Btw, if they bought their house in the 50's for what you said, and sold it now for 500K+...guess what?

Chances are very good that if they were living on a fixed income, it meant they never really made a ton of money. So if they had a house for 60 years, and owned it, and then were on a fixed income once they retired, it means they don't make a lot of money. So the sale of their house would take up the majority of the exempt amount.

And if they could afford to pay the property taxes (assuming they live in a state with PT) on a house that apparently is worth a boat load of money (otherwise they wouldn't be taxed 3.8% above the 500K threshold), chances are that they could afford a one time hit of 3.8%...off of the sale of their house.

Am I missing something here?

You're saying that people living on a fixed income, who bought a house in the 50's for 10K, sold it 2013 for an apparent HUGE profit...could afford to live in a house that was worth a LOT of money...on a fixed income?

Is this really what you want to say?

 

[MickZagger]

Neither is your intellect.

Why do you always want to debate with these naive, life long Portanders? I don't get it... Obviously must be some kind of reflection of yourself.

 

[maxiep]

Better yet it's a kiss for anyone that wants to live on their own.

What it really serves to do is to reduce the ability to climb the economic ladder. It's tougher to save, tougher to make money, tougher to keep the fruits of your labor. Oh, everyone will be perfectly comfortable. You can rent a flat, you may one day have a car, but this is a system that benefits those that have already made their money.

I'm always wary of people telling you how much they care when they're getting so wealthy off of public "service".

 

[maxiep]

Yep, you're right. Clearly, you don't get it.

Listen my friend, if I let people's personal insults that are aimed at you go other members in the forum will think I'm doing it to show favor to the person who posted the insult. I respect that you, like myself, are an insult masochist but I'm afraid there is nothing that I can do to help your suffering.

Calling you retarded wasn't an insult; it was an observation.

And yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. Keep thinking about it. Pretty soon it will make sense to you.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

so instead of quoting the one that actually crossed the line, repeatedly, you quoted mine.

well, nice to see there's a double standard here.

I thought you were almost or barely crossing a line so I figured I'd give you a friendly little reminder.

Ah, fuck. I hate that I see your point. All I can reply is, "But mom, you're ruining all the fun!"

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Actually these days even calling a retard a retard is an insult so I'd appreciate you not calling anyone retarded.

 

[MickZagger]

Mods, modding mods. This is beautiful.

I feel sorry for you.

And yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. Keep thinking about it. Pretty soon it will make sense to you.

what you're saying doesn't make sense, because reality doesn't agree with it.

If a family is living on a fixed income, it means they don't make much.

Let's say, generously, they make 50K a year.

Their house, let's say, is sold for 500K. They bought it in 1950 for 10K.

That means, on a house they own, they made 490K in profit.

Add to that, the 50K they make a year in income, and that means they pay 3.8% tax on....40K.

So, out of the 500K they made on the sale of the house, they now owe....calculating...calculating...calculating...approx 1900 dollars.

You're telling me, a couple that made 500K on the sale of their house, couldn't afford 1900 dollars, a one time tax?

Considering they made about 4K a month (in pension/SS, etc) I think they'll survive.


maybe you have a different opinion on what level their "fixed" income is. Maybe you think 100K a year, as a retired/elder person is fixed income.

But realistically, if someone is making 100K as a retired/elder, they're making pretty good money.

To be fair, I change the emphasis to sound like Zach Galifianakis, so it's actually a compliment

That's the nicest thing you've ever said to me.
