[QUOTE="Jordan Lahr, post: 35602, member: 931"] Re: Gibson raided TJ which stadium are you talking about, The Sioux falls event center or one that is going up closer to you? The reason I ask is Sioux falls who is building an event center is using almost all private funding and public investing to pay it off and are staying completely away from tax increase. Thats one of the few reasons is getting pushed so far. And as far as my earlier post a lot of people mus-understood me about the home situation. While I don't think it wrong to want to have a larger home, when did it become a need? I'm not saying the govt should be able to step in but living within ones own needs is probably a better solution. As far as the wealthy loopholes there are so many around because they will fund certain congressional tours to get elected who then vote to exclude certain people from taxes.
