    Bad ideas often begin that way. Because most people don't mind when the government sticks it to large corporations, there are no repercussions. In the end, however, large corporations have lawyers to find their way out of it, while taxes are applied to those who can't afford good lawyers.

    What the not so funny ha-ha thing is, I remember something like that being discussed on the radio sometime during Obama’s first campaign.
    Yeah, matter of fact, I remember that it was about a week before McCain announced his running mate was Sarah Palin.

    Uh, I wouldn’t be so quick with that Nancy.

    Although Kamala is introducing the possibility, the actual bill was initiated by Biden in ‘21 and there is Nothing in the requirements that says that a person has to be an American citizen.
    Moreover, the bill is directed at marginalized people in the name of equity which would disqualify white males while at the same time checking a box to qualify anyone of color and women in general.

    One would assume that the wording “1st generation buyers” would mean a U.S. citizen but take in the idea that Biden / Harris want to allow illegals to become citizens and the wording becomes more clear.
    But again, there’s nothing in the bill that says anything about being a citizen anyway.

    https://propertyclub.nyc/article/down-payment-toward-equity-act-of-2021-25k-first-time-homebuyer-grants#:~:text=To qualify for the $25,000 grant, you will,your specific area 5 Using a government-backed mortgage

    The outstanding point though isn’t who is going to qualify but the fact that no one, with the possibility of vets, should qualify for a grant.
    The Government has no money of its own. The money comes from taxpayers just like the money they use to pay off student loans.

    Taxpayer-Funded Group Offers $30,000 To New Homebuyers — As Long As They Aren’t US Citizens

    Hacienda Community Development Corp. is participating in a taxpayer-funded down payment assistance program that gives money to non-citizens to buy homes in Oregon while excluding American citizens from eligibility, according to records provided to the Daily Caller.

    Hacienda CDC is reportedly offering $30,000 for down payment assistance for eligible new homebuyers through their Camino a Casa program, according to a screenshot first reported by X user Oregon Citizen. “Clients work closely with financial coaches and HUD-certified housing counselors throughout the entirety of the homebuying process. In addition to mortgage readiness and financial fitness workshops, we provide various opportunities for down-payment assistance,” the organization states.

    The eligibility requirements include being a non-citizen. Republican Oregon state Rep. Ed Diehl told the Daily Caller he received confirmation from Business Oregon that Hacienda CDC is using these funds for non-citizens while excluding American citizens.

    “American citizens in Oregon are struggling to find and buy a home. We have a severe housing shortage in this state. I am appalled that the hard-earned, limited tax dollars of Oregonians are being used to prioritize home ownership for certain non-US citizens. Oregon can’t end this state-sponsored discrimination soon enough,” Diehl told the Daily Caller.

    Hacienda CDC is partially funded through the Economic Equity Investment Program (EEIP), an equity-based beneficiary project established through the Economic Equity Investment Act (SB 1579), which the Oregon legislature passed in 2022. The organization receives millions in Oregon state taxpayer money and federal taxes through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), according to its recent annual report.

    One might think that if Democrats honestly thought their policies were good, they wouldn't feel the need to lie about them all the time.

    The tax on unrealized capital gains would cause absolute chaos in the stock market in addition to home ownership. Can you imagine being taxed to the roof when your stock value is up at the end of the year only to have it plummet during the summer? Would you then get a tax refund or would Kamala and Obama (who originally brought it forward) just keep the extra money? Would you have to file an amendment every time the value changed? I can understand a tax on REALIZED gains not currently taxed (but I would like it, especially on primary residences), but I don't understand any tax on unrealized gains.

    This guy has so well nailed down the DNC and the Kamala campaign and explains it all in a short couple of minutes.
    Not too bad for an Iranian expat

    If you haven't seen Idiocracy, Oppenheimer Ranch Project has posted it on their Rumble channel. YouTube wouldn't allow them to do it apparently, but Rumble did. Democrats may find that voters pay more attention to policy than they realize. Only time will tell. They have focused on Trump's personality rather than his policies and we can see where that got us. What Kamal has planned for the country should she get into office is absolutely horrifying. Chuck Schumer let the cat out of the bag. The first thing they would do if they again get control of all three branches will be to eliminate the filibuster. That would remove all power from the Minority. After that, they will stuff the courts and open the country to even more immigration. Raising taxes, of course, is on the agenda as well. They figure they would have two years to destroy the country before the populace reacts but by then it would be too late. THAT is why they don't want to talk about policy.

    "Strength through Joy" (Wikipedia) was a Nazi propaganda program.

    They seem to be unable to divert much from the Nazi playbook.

    She will not please everyone, she will make mistakes, she will be glorified on one hand, and mocked by the other hand. There is not one candidate, who can make the USA totally happy. Never has been, and never will be. :(
    Normally I would not even post a political post, but I am so sick of Trump... even liver is beginning to sound good. :eek:
    I would like to see her win, for several reasons, and until someone else comes along to totally change my mind,I will vote for Harris, going with the gut feeling ;)

    You are correct in that no one will ever make everyone happy.
    I’ve never seen a Master Chef make a couple hundred people totally happy much more so a President leading a country of around 350m and climbing.

    That said, it is indeed your right to do as you wish but as a small note, you won’t be voting for Harris. Kamala is the facade so to speak but you’ll be voting for Pelosi, Schumer, Obama and Soros and whomever they put into position as cabinet members and others who can be manipulated by wealth.
    It’s no secret that Biden and Harris are puppets and also no secret that every main stream publication wanted Biden to drop Harris just 2-3 months ago when Joe said he was running for the Presidency.

    It is only since Joe Biden was forced out that Kamala is being treated like the virgin Mary by the left wing media; a media she won’t even sit down and talk with and explain what her platform is and the planks on that platform.
    No one knows what she is really for or against. What she was for a few months ago she is now against and what she was against she is now for.

    A good bit of research would be to follow her past voting record as VP. That might help.

    Jus sayin’

    Good afternoon to all-

    Ms. Mitchell- I respect your observations and your honesty. And heck, Bobby Cole has given you permission to do as you wish- of course, the rest of his statement is pure Bobbyism, but let that go...

    I believe Ms. Harris will do a good job, and I am certain beyond doubt that she will do better than the former occupant- he was a disaster in his first term, and would be worse if God forbid, he got back in a position of power.

    Folks, we can do better, much better.

    you all be safe and keep well- Ed

    If elected, Kamala wouldn't have any more to say about what happens in her Administration than Biden has. She would simply be a shill for whoever has been running the country into the ground for the past few years. Like Biden, she probably won't even be told what "her" policies are.

    "Her policies" are horrendous. That is why she never talks about it, hasn't held a news conference or taken questions.
