  1. As a person living in California where I pay high taxes and have a high chance of getting robbed, your critic sounds ignorant that tax rates and quality of life are not correlated.

  2. Can you do a video on affordable beachfront properties in Asia?

  3. I tell people to always look at what the US government spends their money on. Borrowing money to drop bombs in the desert for 20 years is mismanagement. The people bitching about about paying their fair share need to fix the spending first before asking for more. Criticizing others for not wanting to deal with that BS is stupid.

  4. The issue is the problems in America occur in the urban areas that is highly visible. This type of behavior is not in the rural areas.

  5. Congress have been trying to tax retirement accounts for years.

  6. The covid lockdown was NEVER about science. It was about taking advantage of a crisis.

  7. Mandated savings with approved plans is a horrible idea. There is no guarantee they could be losing money by investing in garbage.

  8. People would not have to pay so much taxes if we did not borrow almost one trillion dollars per year for the last 20 years to drop bombs in the desert.

  9. And they tax legal marijuana so much they are murdering their own businesses.

  10. I work backwards to figure out what is fair. What are the core functions of the government? What are the pet projects and waste? Even for the US, an average 25% federal tax is about right. The problem is not tax but spending.

  11. Just watch for who are changing the definition of words: anti-vaxx, liberal, equity vs equality. Look at who is pushing for large centralized government while calling the opposition as fascists. Look at Australia and Canada. Countries can go sideways in an instant.

  12. This is nonsense! Australia could not simply allow their own citizens to quarantine in Australia!?

  13. This new election variant of covid is going to be interesting. I think it will last until Dec 2024 where it will miraculously disappear then. We need to lock down and mail all the ballots to stop Trum... I mean covid at any cost.

  14. Some people move for lower cost of living. Places in Mexico are expat retirement towns. There has been talk of allowing Medicare to pay for foreign medical care to incentivize retirees to live in cheaper places to keep Medicare solvent.

  15. Or those with aging parents who need care. To be fair, it is the responsibility of the employee to get the work done without excuses.

  16. The reason Arizona is raising taxes is because it is a purple state. You have CA transplants voting in the same nonsense policies they are running from. People need to remind these transplants they are refugees, not missionaries.

  17. People need to take into consideration Medicare is the floor for healthcare. This is why private insurance also complements Medicare to cover more expensive procedures and such as Plan D for medicines. That total cost need to be taken into account.

  18. Well said. The vast majority of wealthy people have their money invested in assets like their businesses.

  19. This is what happens when morons who know nothing about tax law and data try to write feel good laws.

  20. Do other territories have the same tax benefits as Puerto Rico like Guam?

  21. Blame the majority of American voters. Remember these are the same people that think poor people pay more taxes than rich people even with empirical evidence for their viewing pleasure on their phones.

  22. Tim Pool's interview with Margerie Taylor Green confirmed Congress loves voice votes and a minority passes ridiculous bills and their votes are not on record.

  23. The unintended consequences of such an idea will be ridiculous. It is taxing other people's money! That is some next level double taxation!

  24. Both perspectives have merit. Countries need people staying to vote and push for change. There also needs to be competition for global capital and talent to make progress.

  25. Zimbabwe 2.0. Nothing can go wrong here. Damn geniuses.

  26. Trudeau being able to freeze bank accounts over protesting the government is a huge red flag. This is a breakdown of the rule of law and possession of private property. He was able to institute a gun ban like Australia and New Zealand while the police will tell people to "leave their keys by the door so criminals can steal their cars easier". That is anarcho-tyranny for the ruling class and their criminal foot soldiers while making felons by legislation out of law abiding citizens.

  27. Real fascists are the ones trying to seize MORE POWER and then scapegoating the groups voicing dissent. Good job, Trudeau!

  28. There are plenty of Mexicans and Americans living in Mexico that cross the border to the US to work just a few miles away. Mexico is becoming America's suburb.

  29. Every country could be subject to war. There is even theories that China might gauge the Ukraine response to move on Taiwan. I think this reinforces your philosophy on getting a second passport and a plan B. There is a point to be made that people who stay need to vote wisely on who their leaders are.

  30. Most people who support the Democratic party in CA do not understand tax law or the tax data. If they did, they would stop the lie that rich people do not pay taxes when they pay most of the state's tax revenue.

  31. Tyranny of the majority to rob people.

  32. If your business can operate anywhere, why stay in hellholes like California or other states run by lunatics? Just having a better lifestyle while saving money is worth considering.

  33. Can this be multiple properties totalling $400k?

  34. Voters need to look in the mirror if they want to see the root problem of the US, especially California.

  35. I find the Left disingenuous when they constantly want higher taxes claiming wanting rich people to "pay their fair share" but continue supporting Democrats that approved borrowing $1 trillion per year to drop bombs in the desert. Maybe, just maybe, stop that shit first before stealing from taxpayers.
