Just tax loans collateralized by stock as income, and give a deduction on the interest when they pay back the loan.
That’s currently the biggest loophole the wealthy use. They use their stock portfolios as collateral for loans, which are untaxed. Then as their portfolio grows they take out more loans to cover the old one and fund their lifestyle, or they liquidate some of their assets at the much lower capital gains tax to pay it back.
Just tax collateralized loans as realized gains and be done with it.
That’s kind of irrelevant though because the US wasn’t colonizing them. And in both, the US had complete dominance during the entire occupation.
The south Vietnamese and the Afghan governments were weak and corrupt and caved as soon as the US withdrew. In a colonial situation, the US would have not pulled out at all and would have implemented a permanent occupation.
Oh absolutely. It’s probably worth the $3500 at least. I just cannot think of a use case for myself that would justify it lol. I don’t work from home enough to claim it for work, and I can’t remote in from a Mac anyway.
And with kids, I definitely don’t have the free time to use it to watch movies or anything.
I mean if you don’t use the health app you’ve eliminated like 90% of what the watch is for. The entire premise is a wearable biometric sensor that also functions as a direct link to your phone.
I have an ultra that I use for a ton of stuff. I originally got an SE for the better sleep tracking, but that turned into using it for workouts at which point I got a series 8. When I got into longer distance cycling (75-100 miles) the battery on that didn’t last long enough so I upped to the ultra.
Actually pretty much none of them require a CDL unless you’re operating commercially.
You can go buy a school bus right now and drive it around without a cdl. Only needed to carry passengers.
You don’t need a CDL to be a delivery van driver either at all.
The current GVWR limit before you need a CDL is 26,000lbs. No light duty vehicle on the road comes close to that. Even the biggest Ram 4500 caps out at 16,500lbs GVWR. The Hummer EV caps out at 10,550lbs.
Which is why the best strategy is to buy 4 houses and never upgrade to a hotel. It prevents others from buying houses. And you can’t just skip straight to a hotel in the actual rules either. You have to have 4 houses and the next turn you can buy a hotel.
No, you pay extra not to have those. Smart TVs are typically FAR cheaper than an equivalent quality dumb tv because the price is subsidized by selling the data they collect.
You’re best buying a smart tv and just never connecting it or setting up any of the smart features.
That means that the 2023 ID.4 Standard model, with a 62 kWh battery, an EPA-estimated range of 209 miles, and a starting MSRP of $38,995, would cost $31,495 after the tax credit is applied.
Key to mention that the credit is not refundable. It can only take your income tax burden down to $0, and not below. So for the typical family with a couple of kids, making 75k or so, chances are you won’t get the full credit.
