Howard is Pretty Much solely responsible for encouraging Money into houses as the Best Investment. He also sold the People's Bank to the People. "Honest" John Has a Lot to answer for. Nev

Private homes are paid for by already taxed Money and NOTHING deductible. To retrospectively change the rules would not be taxing. it would be Confiscation of an asset by deception as a lot of it's VALUE is because of Inflation, with No deductions for ANYTHING Interest rates, council rates, repairs. insurance along the way. How unfair would that Be? . Over long periods of time the dwelling becomes valueless and only the Land makes it worth anything, Many Houses just get pushed over. An empty lot would be worth More. It costs Money to demolish and tidy up.. When you rent, you know exactly what it will cost you. If the neighbours are from Hell you can Just Move without Paying crazy amounts of Money . If you are the kind of Person that Moves a lot, Owning a House is the One thing you Might consider NOT doing. They can tie you down and absorb all your spare cash.. Most are Now on tiny Blocks where there is Nothing but the House and car garage. You can't fit between the walls of your Place and next door. Ticky Tacky little boxes all in a row.. How depressing. Nev

Only in USA and Canada. Called the "short", ton. Normal ton is 2240 Lbs.

Were they all related? There's NO privacy in small towns. Can be very Boring also, and hard to get things done. Everything costs More and woe Betide you IF you are different. You have to travel for education, or specialist Medical services. No good Jobs for the Kids. Nev

Inflation negates capital Gains. Nev

Mispronunciations. Nev

YouTube is not a University. Most of itis unreliable. Watch it if you want entertainment and are bored with your Life. Life is short. Nev

Off Topic. How easy it is. Nev

We have some of the Biggest Houses in the world and they Produce Nothing. Factories Produce things. Abbot and Hockey Booted the Auto Makers out quite unceremoniously, and the accessories Industry disappeared over night.. with it. Abbot said they should get 'DECENT' Jobs. What a Twerp. Nev

As long as you deduct the amount equalling the rate of Inflation over the Period under consideration , it's fair. The rich can afford tax dodges. Nev

The point of that was , Putting a Price on CARBON was not a tax, but don't let the TRUTH ruin your story. Nev

It's NOT a good Legal aspect. There's always plenty of discussion around it in ' Rights' circles. I thought the reason would be obvious. You wouldn't put a lower speed sign in and the Book people who went over that speed at an earlier time.. or change a notified burn off time . It's NOT FAIR (or reasonable) as I said.. Nev

Some of this stuff is very Long term and hard to re run. The time is Not there. It's not fair make something illegal today that wasn't yesterday and retrospectively apply it. . Nev

The LIES bit is being overblown and changed circumstances (Not of their Making) forced them to do something different. There are exemptions and grandfathering , so check the whole thing out. A LOT of unforeseen things Have Happened SINCE the election. They reacted and that's what should have happened IF they do the responsible thing in the CHANGED circumstances. We are getting through the Fuel situation Pretty well. (and Plenty of other things). Nev

To grow wheat, you Need Moisture deep in the soil. Growers Pick the years they sow. You don't want rain Late in the cycle. ALL Farmers are gamblers. Nev

A lot of FILL and obfuscation in that answer. Transparency is what is required. I suggest there's no more corruption in Politics than most other things like Banks, etc. Politicians are very Public figures. I wouldn't like to be One and Have to put up with all the BS, Slander and lack of any private Life. Their tenure is only till the next election. You could make more money other ways in a lot of cases. They are Not overpaid . Nev

Who else would GET AWAY with such behaviour??? What a dreadful example HE sets. Nev

wille IIF you quote it you Own it unless you state otherwise. Siso, We have Far from the worst government around. You have to read a lot of rubbish to believe otherwise and there's PLENTY of that ABOUT. It's easy to just rave on with little facts to back it up. The rest of the World thinks WE are doing alright in the circumstances. That doesn't just happen by Itself.. Nev

What Bl@@dy saying? You can find a "saying" for anything these days. Wealth distribution Trends to favour less and Less of the People, who all want everything done by the government but to Pay no taxes. Where? The TOP few % get the Perks because they can reward in kind.. Packer "said Paying tax for the rich is Optional". Do you want it Like Trump wants America to be.?? I doubt it. Menzies brought in child Endowment. Was HE a raving Socials lefty? A decent Civilised society doesn't neglect it's needy. Everyone should have access to Health services and education, Sewerage Roads and drainage etc. The Basics at Least. Nev .

" Trump will fix it" Remember?. A person who bears witness unto himself , cannot be trusted. How many Proven LIES now? Nev

Angus is a dope. He stuffed up Big getting rid of LEY.. Nev

Doesn't sound as if we are Missing MUCH. Nev.

It would be difficult to hide the Contempt.. China Builds, while Trump destroys. Nev

I reckon that IF i'd Posted that, there would be a big Pile on, but here is the "Kiss of death". I AGREE, completely. Nev

I was Probably Over thinking that one. Nev
