Nougat , to politics in America is still haunted by the ghost of Ronald Reagan's corruption

Let us not forget that Republicans opposed Social Security in the early 1930s.

Nougat , to politics in Biden's Middle East Policy Is Horrific. Trump's Would Be Even Worse

More to the point, in a FPTP + EC, a failure to vote for the candidate you hate least in certain states gives the candidate you hate more a better chance of winning the presidency.

While the propagandists would have us believe otherwise, this is not "supporting 'genocide'." It's just math.

Do you live in Illinois? Idaho? Vote for whoever you want. Illinois is going to send its electors for Biden, and Idaho is going to send its electors for Trump, and your vote is not going to change that. Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona? Check yourself before you wreck fucking everything.

Nougat , to politics in IRS Expects $50 Billion Return by Closing Loophole Exploited by the Super Rich

Here's a description of how this works:

Let’s look at a concrete example to get a better sense of what’s going on. A taxpayer has a property which has appreciated. It currently has a market value of $1 million, with a cost basis [how much was paid for it] of $100,000. This taxpayer wishes to conduct an outright sale. If that happens, though, the taxpayer would incur a significant liability because of the sizable gain [capital gains tax on the difference between the cost basis and the sale price]. The taxpayer, therefore, finds a related party who has a much higher basis of, say, $950,000 on a property with a current market value of $1.1 million. The parties then conduct a direct swap exchange.

Based on the foregoing example, the related party receives a property with a market value of $1 million. Meanwhile, the cost basis of $950,000 stays the same. The related party then ultimately sells the relinquished property and incurs a much, much, smaller liability [capital gains tax] from the sale. The two parties then distribute the profits between themselves. Eventually, the related party reacquires the replacement property with a deed back.

This type of transaction may not run afoul of the requirements of Section 1031 on paper. Clearly, though, it offends the underlying purposes of Code Section 1031. The sole purpose of the related party is to realize greater profits. The courts have now collapsed these types of transactions. “Basis shifting” is now a well-established violation of the related party rules.

Of particular note, this is already a violation. What the IRS wants to do is actually enforce the rules that this behavior violates.
