If you read the actual paper at http://ww.rrojasdatabank.info/HDRP_2010_40.pdf it says no such thing, but why both to read a source, right?

The tax plan doesn't go into effect until the 2018 tax year, it sounds like you're working under the assumption that it impacts you this year? In general, your personal deductions are only limited by personal income, not the method by which you earned it, so that answers most of your questions...

Taking advantage of living in a safe prosperous society paid for by taxes while proclaiming taxes as theft is hypocrisy at best, I'd just call it idiocy myself.

To the bank! Actually I was agreeing that @beerntrading had a good point, I was the primary guilty party he was gently referring to, and I'll try the do a better job ignoring the trolls.

Point taken!

It is expensive, for sure. However a lot of what you pay for in the U.S. is part of that expense, so it's not as bad as you'd first think. It is a hard place to get rich but an easy place to have a high quality of life, so it may well be a poor fit for our self-selected group here on ET. That...

So first off, Sweden most certainly has universal health care with a SEK 200 (appx $25 USD) co-pay which is funded by taxes. So yes higher taxes offset your healthcare expense. And while I'm sure you can pull up horror stories about having to wait for a surgery, we can come up with 100 identical...

If that's self destruction I'd like some more self destruction! Spent a good part of the summer there this summer, not sure what you're talking about?

And the true colors come out. I'll let the thread continue to provide value without this side conversation. I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts living in Latin America based on your actual experience living in Latin America since you appear to have some experience there. That would be...

Actually it’s one of those great words I wish we had in English that convey a level of idiocy and jackassery both at the same time. Of course I learned my colloquial Spanish working in the fields as a high schooler so perhaps I'm not as refined a speaker as some. This is a thread to discuss the...

Actually if you're going to make ascine comments on how a business should be run, your experience running successful businesses (or not in your case) would seem to be pretty relevant. I don't spout advice on brain surgery 'cause I don't have any experience in the field, and if I made some...

Well clearly longer than you, since you you'd last about 2 minutes calling any Mexican a "Latin". Have any comments on 'dem orientals living in China while you're at it? ¡Eres un capullo!

I can actually say with almost absolute certainty based on your comments that you've never run a profitable real business (lemonade stands don't count), and certainly never one where users generate the content that is the only reason for your business's existence. In fact, I'll be willing to put...

Your point is...elusive. You think that because people emigrate from Mexico to that U.S. policy is popular in Mexico? That's a pretty silly view of the world you'd expect from someone with little exposure to it.

Given that you've clearly never run a business and think it's rude to provide feedback, you seem to be pretty damn sure of yourself when it comes to deciding the best way to run a business! Let me break it down for you, again based on some firsthand experience that you may lack. P&L is a lagging...

As a business owner myself, I welcome feedback and get the most out of the suggestions for improvement as do the vast majority of successful business owners. From what I've seen here Baron is a pretty damn good at running this business and more than happy to take honest and sincere feedback of...

That of course doesn't mean that American policy isn't unpopular in Mexico.

They had this thing called private mortgage insurance (PMI) before the financial crisis, still do I imagine. It was supposed to protect the mortgage lender from your default as the homeowner, and required you to pay them an extra amount every month that provided absolutely no benefit to you as...

Wear something with a maple leaf on it. The vast majority of people will assume you're Canadian and leave you alone.

Take a look at the borrow rate. And the max short term upward move it's seen. One could say the same about shorting VIX futures but it's picking up nickels in front of a steamroller.
