(In the US) divedends are taxed as ordinary income. REITs are required to disburse their profits to the shareholders as divedends.

Only buy-low, sell high appreciation is taxed as capital-gains.

I just typoed it because I am a damn human.

Crap on my head, sorry, I literally typed it out like we lost a damn war.

Thanks for correcting.

It is a hard problem.

Look at the monumental effort Debian went through (or hell maybe they are also still working on it) http://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds

Rental income is considered income, and taxed assuming reasonable tax brackets much higher than investment income (That is to say, caiptal-gains. Interest/Dividends are also taxed at the higher income rate)

The cost of maintaining a livable home, property taxes, insurance, property depreciation, and renter interactions eat into the supposed windfall that landlords make.

I'm not saying it doesn't suck sometimes and that certainly these formulas are out of whack in some situations, but there are no easy answers.

I recently got out my Vic-20, which of course has a very similar keyboard. Not low-profile at all, so it really forced me to have proper typist posture.

Everyone wants to be on the winning team. Our brains will make up all kinds of things to rationalize what we believe.

Also, I played and beat a burned PS1 "Pepsiman", so I'm not sure where that puts me besides old.

Another shit part is for some people it does work, and they never have an inkling that there is another side. So they sit there all "bootstraps" this and "self made" that. Their parents fed them the lie because they didn't know any better or worse, did. But it all worked out and now they are conservative.

Look, you are intelligent and able to communicate clearly. That is more than a great many adults I run into. You can find your way in this world, but it is going to be your way and not your parent's.

You saw through my clever charade!?

Look, I hate the man as much as anyone. It is just that I got a job and a mortgage and a family and I woke up one morning old and the man.
