John Oliver, While Attacking Trump and the GOP for Tax Loopholes and Trusts Designed to Reduce Property Taxes, Uses Tax Loophole and Trust to Reduce Property Taxes on $9.5 Million NYC Luxury Penthouse
Ain't no hypocrisy as pungent as that of the tax-dodging champagne socialist aristocrat.
The hypocrisy really gets ratcheted up with John Oliver, the No. 1 darling to so many liberal anti-Trumpies, who regularly attacks GOP tax schemes as giveaways to the rich and detrimental to the poor. ... Back in July 2014, in an episode in which he lamented the "Wealth Gap in America" (which has resulted in the richest one percent of Americans controlling 20 percent of annual income), Oliver said, "At this point the rich are just running up the score... What sets America apart is that we are actively introducing policies that disproportionately benefit the wealthy," such as tax cuts and loopholes like trusts. So it's a little surprising to discover that just months before, Oliver had a tax attorney set up two revocable trusts, one for him and one for his wife, to hide the couple's purchase of a $9.5 million Manhattan penthouse. Then he used a tax loophole created by Donald Trump himself back in the 1970s, when the current president was merely a prominent New York real estate developer and aspiring celebrity author. The loophole in question is the banally named "421-a" tax dodge, which was recently attacked in a Daily News op-ed written by two New York state Democrats, one a senator and the other an assemblyman...Those are the highlights but the stuff I've cut out is really good, going into detail about the luxe pad's description, Oliver's well-heeled hedge-fund-manager neighbors, and the services provided by his law firm to wealthy clients. It's almost as if the rich clown John Oliver is just running up the score at this point and actively exploiting policies that disproportionately benefit himself at the expense of his viewers.
But just four months before Oliver’s July show, he had hired slick New York law firm Proskauer Rose LLP, which, in addition to union-busting and representing BP America, ChevronTexaco and ExxonMobil, specializes in helping the rich find tax breaks and buy real estate....
In other words, [Oliver's lawyer] is exactly the type of fancy pants attorney who helps his 1 percent clientele get the tax breaks and use the loopholes that Oliver gets such mileage deriding on TV.... Oliver benefits from New York's property tax system, which offers huge advantages to residents of rich enclaves like the one where he lives. For example, even though Oliver paid $9.5 million for his penthouse, the city assessed its market value for tax purposes at just $1.3 million. However, only $515,000 of that amount was billable for property taxes. At a rate of 12.8 percent, Oliver normally would have paid $66,390. However, property tax records show that, thanks to Trump and Roy Cohn, Oliver gets the very generous 421-a tax break on the penthouse. Hence, his property's billable value after the exemption plunged by over $300,000, and he owed just $27,343 for 2016. That comes out to a property tax rate of roughly 0.25 percent, which would make Ronald Reagan and Ayn Rand dance in their graves from happiness.

And, that's how you get fake news. Donald Trump wasn't in a position to create tax loopholes in the 1970s. He wasn't in government. He was in a position to exploit the tax loopholes created by government slugs, but they are the ones who made them.
The piece does go on to give some of the history: Trump tried to use the loophole, the city of NY blocked him, he sued, he won, he got to use the loophole along with anyone else the city had been illegally preventing from using said loophole.
But, it was the legislature in Albany that created the "loophole".

Come to think of it, every British immigrant to the US I know is like this. With other nationalities there's always a percentage who are loyal and grateful new Americans, but Brits (at least all the ones I know) seem to have an irrepressible need to play George III, especially on the topic of guns. It never seems to occur to them that if Britain were so wonderful, they wouldn't have had to move here in the first place!

"Socialists" don't *really* believe in socialism. They lust for *power* instead. They can't have it under capitalism--they're not equipped to acquire it or handle it. Thus their hunger to change to a new game, where they imagine that as a "early adaptor" they will be rewarded with *power* that they could not otherwise obtain.
Always remember: the left believes in *nothing*...other than power.

Don't quiz me on his deep cuts or stuff with Barnstorm; I'll fail.
I don't want to pretend to be a Joe Walsh expert.
But I do listen to ten of his songs a lot.
I'm not a huge Joe Walsh fan either, but I could make the argument that "Rivers of the Hidden Funk" is the single most under-rated rock song of all time. Seriously. HUGELY under-appreciated and under played, even on stations that should know better.

Back in the early '90s, I saw Warren Zevon doing a solo show in Seattle - just him on stage with a piano or a guitar (depending on the song). [This tour was recorded on the album "Learning To Flinch."]
Turned out that Joe Walsh was hangin' in Seattle for some reason, so he came on stage and did some jammin' with Warren on a couple songs.
Utterly awesome night!
...Walsh looked like a homeless guy who had just woken up under a freeway overpass.

saddest part of the History of the Eagles documentary was Joe Walsh praising Frye and the other asshole Henley as gods far above his level of talent.
I don't know if he's so beaten down and self-loathing that he believes that, or if he's now forced to kiss their asses to be part of their very lucrative touring business.
But it was sad. Those guys are assholes and most of their songs suck dick.

Take my wife's family, for instance. They are all uber lefties, without exception. Their grandparents owned one of the largest mortgage companies in the US at one time. The grandmother (family legend has it she pushed Granddad down the stairs of their palatial River Oaks mansion and waited until he was dead before calling the paramedics) was worth $80 million when she kicked off. None of her chidren/grandchildren saw much of that, although they did get enough to have lived very comfortable lives.
But just the same, they are all as far left as you can imagine. And oh yes, you can imagine what they think of me, who does not toe the Party line. I about brought the house down with that bunch one night at a Christmas party when I cracked a joke about John Kerry's Vietnam "war wound" (the one he got a Purple Heart for) being treated with a Band Aid.
And oh yes, they use every tax loophole and dodge you can imagine to keep what they have, nor do they make any bones about it. After all, they are "entitled"...

Walsh had the first HIT with the tube-deal. Rocky Mountain Way. Frampton might have been using it around the same time with Humble Pie and Frampton's Camel, but he would not be in the limelight until '76 with the live album.

Its also a reaction to constant criticism, they have to play a role of

I think a lot of them are hypocrites who feel they deserve their wealth and success because they're wicked smaht, and because of it they are now qualified to tell us dumb folk how to live.
People like Obama lecturing that "at some point you've made enough money" while taking $3 million for *one* speech, Leonardo Di Caprio jet-setting around the world while lecturing us on our carbon footprint, and so on.

There is, but its not materially obvious immediately. For one thing, you have to fight off people wanting your money constantly like bees at a picnic. For another, you tend to have soul rot from never having to work or strive for anything, or experiencing any sort of struggle. It doesn't affect the first generation as badly but the children and from that point on, it can be very caustic to.

Bonhomme's cancer update:
It's been two weeks since my RPLND. I did three rounds of chemo and had a radical orchiectomy.
My Doc says there's a high probability I'm done with treatment. Initial biopsy results are very promising. I'm feeling good, but it'll probably be a few months before I'm 100%.
Love you guys!

Yes, indeed. He certainly is. He sometimes appears in Heil mic ads, and is known to contribute money to groups like the ARRL.

I have to say my favorite George song is "Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth)."
And Nicky Hopkins (pbuh) on piano. Not just there but on every song he's played. Class.

I got rather angry when I heard what Bob Geldoff did with "Do They Know It's Christmas." Sure, he donated all the proceeds from that song BUT he kept all the money from the flip side of the single.
Crafty snake, he is.

219 >>I think a lot of the super rich are socialists because they feel guilty.
Its also a reaction to constant criticism, they have to play a role of
being the guy who loves the poor.
I think a lot of them are hypocrites who feel they deserve their wealth and success because they're wicked smaht, and because of it they are now qualified to tell us dumb folk how to live.
People like Obama lecturing that "at some point you've made enough money" while taking $3 million for *one* speech, Leonardo Di Caprio jet-setting around the world while lecturing us on our carbon footprint, and so on.

I think Layla is about her too.
I think there's another song Clapton did about his guilt about having seduced her, too, but it escapes me.
