No drum magazines? Seems strange, since they're readily available... and how much does a full auto Tommy cost these days (if a person could even find one -- not that many legal autos out there, and most people seem to hang on to them)?

Unless it was some sweet video editing and they're actually shooting semi-auto and made it look like machine gun fire.

A friend bought a Tommy a few years ago, when they started making them again (semi-auto). With a drum full of 75 .45s, it can double as a barbell for a quick workout. Fucker has to weigh over 20 pounds loaded.

A Tommy is 10.75 lbs.
A loaded 'C' drum is 9 lbs.
You do the math.

So, a dude who made no contact with police, and filed no police report, is charged with filing a false police report. Unless there's some really good linguistic gymnastics written into the Texas law, even Moving Sale could get an acquittal on that one.

Texas Penal Code § 37.08. False Report to Peace Officer, Federal Special Investigator, or Law Enforcement Employee

(a) A person commits an offense if, with intent to deceive, he knowingly makes a false statement that is material to a criminal investigation and makes the statement to:
(1) a peace officer or federal special investigator conducting the investigation; or
(2) any employee of a law enforcement agency that is authorized by the agency to conduct the investigation and that the actor knows is conducting the investigation.
(b) In this section, “law enforcement agency” has the meaning assigned by Article 59.01, Code of Criminal Procedure.
(c) An offense under this section is a Class B misdemeanor.

Dude is toast.

Cops: Husband Faked Own Kidnapping to Hang With Pals

NEWSER) – In fairness to Rogelio Andaverde, two masked men did force their way into his Texas home and take him away at gunpoint in front of his terrified wife. It's just that police say he staged the whole thing—because he wanted to spend some time with the boys and was evidently afraid to tell his wife, reports the San Antonio Express-News. Police swarmed the scene with helicopters when his wife phoned in the apparent kidnapping, but they found no trace of him. The 34-year-old returned home two days later, saying he'd been released, but his story unraveled under questioning. He's now charged with making a false report to police. "We have people file false reports all the time," says the Hidalgo County sheriff. "But I've never had someone do it just to get out of the house."

I am with you on this one, screwey. The feds should get out of the business of trying to persuade behavior through tax incentives. I would be perfectly fine with pay as you go taxing, no withholding, no returns. Every week your employer would pay you X% of your check and Uncle Sugar gets the rest. How many chilins you have, married status, how much you donate to whatever, totally irrelevant. And if you have a magic shade tree, good for you, knowing you are helping save the polar bears will be payment enough.

Will this cause reductions in how much money people donate to charities? Maybe, but I doubt it will be that much.

I'm glad we can reach across the aisle and work together in this era of unprecedented partisanship.

What do you think about the mortgage interest deduction going bye bye? That is reportedly on the table. KC Scrote won't like this one.

smackaholic · Post by **smackaholic** » Mon Nov 21, 2016 3:57 pm

Mortgage interest would be at the top of my list. Why the fukk would you want to subdize someone taking on debt. We have too much of that already.

BTW, I am a bit biased here in that I paid my mortgage off a few years ago.

No one is saying the rich don't pay more. Even with a flat rate they would. Lefty has it right. Get rid of every last deduction, lower the rate for all. Well, you can't lower it for roughly half the folks out there as they don't pay a nickle.

You want to exempt the first $10,000 in earnings for everyone? I could support that. Those that don't work clearly would pay nothing, but neither would most students, some seniors, etc, etc.

And therein lies the problem. This country has a glut of lawyers and unfortunately, we are stupid enough to give the keys to.....mostly lawyers. I we had sensible laws that were designed to avoid litigation rather than create it, we could likely get by just fine on a quarter of the lawyers we have. Maybe less.

You can't deduct 100% of the interest you pay, so if you can afford to pay off your Mortgage you'll end up ahead

Did I really have to spell that out for you?

Yes, you do. I have had primary mortgages and secondary mortgages in my life and have deducted all of the interest paid. Along with points at loan origination.

Yeah I wasn't sure what he was talking about there. I'm carrying a first mortgage and a small HELOC, and all of the interest is deductible.

Maybe he thinks he should be able to deduct the interest from his taxes owed, instead of his AGI, but I thought Scrote was supposed to be some kind of financial whiz kid (

).

It obviously made sense to smackaholic though. I guess if you don't have any actual income then you can't itemize any deductions. :?

Under 26 U.S.C. § 163(h) of the Internal Revenue Code, the United States allows a home mortgage interest deduction, with several limitations. First, the taxpayer must elect to itemize deductions, and the total itemized deductions must exceed the standard deduction (otherwise, itemization would not reduce tax). Second, the deduction is limited to interest on debts secured by a principal residence or a second home. Third, interest is deductible on only the first $1 million of debt used for acquiring, constructing, or substantially improving the residence, ($500,000 if filing separately) or the first $100,000 of home equity debt regardless of the purpose or use of the loan.

I assume it was troll bait for a KC Scott financial dick-measuring contest.

Yes up to a point. Once you start hitting a level on your AGI they start limiting the total amount of deductions from all or part of your Schedule A. Then there is the AMT bullshit

This

I'm in the 33% AGI bracket and was only able to deduct a portion of the interest paid, according to HR Block. We also get nailed with the AMT

On top of that I pay Block $800+ yearly for all this good news so I'm all for eliminating all deductions, except charity, and going to a flat tax I can do on a postcard
