I'm not sure you're too familiar with the housing market in San Diego.


Are you trying to tell me that there is not a single house in the San Diego area that you can afford?


Why should he settle for less?

Its not surprising that liberals support legalized stealing.

$100k is average in the Bay Area. Rent is higher than everywhere in the country, so the value is not the same. If you make $50k in the mid-west, you have an opportunity to save more in the long run.

Mean in San Francisco, but there's a reason nobody uses the mean to describe salary or wealth.

but as a leftist i think the solution is nationalizing some industries to bring in profit for the state.


You mean like how Venezuela nationalized the oil industry and brought profit for the state?

where someone who makes 100k is giving up 40-60% of their income on taxes.

does anyone actually advocate for this

i mean idk what the actual tax rate is for someone who makes 100k


You should look it up then and also learn your tax code.


I wish people would want to create opportunity for people to do well instead of 'take from rich people for government to hand out to make things more fair'.


Good for you? Did I say something that contradicted that?

Why should he settle for less?

Why should he settle for something he can actually afford rather than complaining that his house isnt bigger and better?


I dont think hes complaining. He seems fine with where he is living now and is working towards getting the house he wants.

Hope you get well soon.

Try making sense

And stop tagging me

I didnt tag you. And i did make sense.

Why should someone settle for less? You didnt answer it. Instead you tried some smart ass comment that was easily slapped to the side.

Stop getting worked and actually put in some effort

You tagged me twice. And settle for less in this case means buying a home he can afford. Youre not making any sense.


No i tagged you once.

If its a home you don't like or want, you're settling for less. Especially when *gasp* a bit of hard work and dedication can net you the house you like and want.

Im sorry this is all too complex for you

what's wrong with taxing the wealthy

Because you don't have the balls to tax the poor and middle-class the same amount.

https://www.point2homes.com/US/Home-For-Sale/CA/Chula-Vista/Castle-Park/1425-2nd-Avenue/53351986.html
https://www.point2homes.com/US/Home-For-Sale/CA/El-Cajon/400-Greenfield-Dr-30/53314314.html


*sigh*

I....nah not even gonna try to explain why I don't live in Chula Vista or El Cajon

You guys are right I just need to lower my standards

these lefty arguments against the UBI are very asinine and apply equally (or in even greater force) to every other form of public assistance

maybe it is true that they are all ways of pacifying the working classes (I would conceptualize it differently but it isn't necessarily wrong) but it's no less true for cash transfers than it is for, like, universal health care. except that market friendly people proposed the UBI so it's bad

I mean the logic behind replacing the some social services with the UBI was the same logic used in the ACA, reducing medicare spending down the road under the assumption that expanded health coverage would lower long term costs... which I realize is also a neoliberal policy to pacify the working class, but what isn't these days?

A dude who cant even look at his own posts and see who he tagged is trying to argue that people should magically be able to own whatever home they want as long as they work hard.

Yikes.


I tagged you once. Not my fault or problem that when you cried about being tagged, you didnt untagg yourself.

And i also never said anything about magically owning a home. You're just making up bullshit cause you're wrong and cant have a conversation.

Sit the fuck down

As the money you make increases, the percentage required for you to sustain yourself decreases, thus the percentage you can tax without having an adverse effect on the individual increases.
