Buy borrow die is a very real economic strategy.

Acquire assets, never sell them, use them as collateral for bank loans, use that capital as collateral for further bank loans. Never sell, no capital gains tax.

Bank loans aren't considered income therefore not subject to being taxed.

Die rich, your kids inherit the money Scott free.

So you agree with me that you don't know what a straw man is?

Yeah that pretty much sums it up right there...

Huh... Sounds like the National Socialist German Workers' Party Right before the Nuremberg trials.

To be fair!

She's not trying to do the right thing. She was perfectly happy being compliant with the current administration as long as her back was scratched. Now that they've thrown her under the bus, she wants to piss in as many teacups as possible!

At no point did I obfuscate the argument into something more easily defensible this is exactly what people were saying under his original comment.

Then again, most people who use the term straw man don't know what it is... That goes doubly for you.

He’s right, though. Isn’t he? All you saw was “states’ rights,” and your immediate reaction was, “He supports slavery,” even though his comment had nothing to do with slavery. States’ rights are a legitimate constitutional concept. They exist independently of racism.

You were so locked into your presuppositions that the only response you could imagine was satire.

You advocate for federal authority when it suits you, and then invoke states’ rights when that is more convenient.

The logical fallacies just keep stacking higher.

The bandwagon effect is strong here. They condemn Trump for "rigging" elections, yet they're perfectly comfortable downvoting anything that doesn't fit their paradigm regardless of how correct it is. That undermines the intended purpose of upvoting and downvoting.

I believe the word for that is hypocrisy.

Then you're going to get in trouble

Ok

Marketers are seeing a trend in people disliking billionaires and they are capitalizing on it.

There are three prime evils in the world: creditors, banks, and insurance companies.

Above them all is marketing.
