Slavery wasn't illegal for a long time - that didn't make it right or fair.

Rather than abolishing the 1031 exchange I think a small 1031 exchange tax could potentially help generate some revenues while also not completely stagnating market transactions.

Perhaps we should get as angry about child abuse, slavery in the US or government intrusion, there are many issues that need to be addressed in this country but all seem to end up with a political and financial motive at some point and no solutions.I'd have to say there is no reason at all a civilian (in fact anyone other than military) needs a 100 round drum magazine, in fact, I'm not sure there is really a military application!

If you look at the case study in Massachusetts in the mid 90's, the average rent actually dropped when they abolished rent control.  

The people were oppressed by outrageous taxes, many children were snatched away from their families, there were forcible religious conversions, widespread sexual slavery to the polygamous Turks, many churches were turned into mosques, and all the Greek people of the capital of Byzantium and its hinterland were declared subject forever to Mehmet the Conqueror and his issueApproximately 400 years later, in a series of bloody wars that lasted the better part of a century, the Greek people (with a great deal of help) succeeded in winning back approximately HALF of what were their ancestral lands, the western half.Ready for my questions, Evan?

My daughter is 4 and waiting for my Ca properties to provide enough cash flow to live would mean that she is kissing boys and drinking beer before I can escape corporate slavery!
