The Second Home-less - Benton - 10-19-2018 https://www.yahoo.com/news/heidi-cruz-torched-over-apos-105706569.html Quote: RE: The Second Home-less - fredtoast - 10-19-2018 Rich people owning 2 homes creates more jobs for lawn care business. We should give the rich a lot more tax breaks so they can all own 2 (or more!) homes. That is the best way to help the "working class".

Those lawns aren't going to mow themselves. RE: The Second Home-less - NATI BENGALS - 10-19-2018 I did some landscaping in my day. It was probably a 60/40 split workforce with about 60% illegal Guatemalans and 40% legal citizens. The guy who owned the business was a Republican. He was nice enough to let the legal citizens do work on his second home for him and paid them under the table. Many many honest businessmen like that out there that made their wealth on the blood sweat and tears of hard working saps like me. God i wish we had some elected officials that would give these types of guys a tax break.

When I still did tile/stone/flooring, many of my clients were wealthy. When say a tile shower floor started to leak in their house? They didn't wait around for the problem to get worse, they wanted it fixed right now, and were willing to pay a good premium for the courtesy. RE: The Second Home-less - michaelsean - 10-19-2018 Aren’t they required to have a home in their home state, and then of course you’d need something in DC.

The issue with a concentration of resources with a small group is they only need so many toasters. Or cars. Or tile floors. If 30,000 can afford a toaster, there's a toaster industry. If there's only 300 people who can, there's a lack of toaster jobs. |
