Oprah, the Obamas, The Rockefellers, The Hiltons, etc.Now if you still think I am incorrect, I'll gladly sit down and crunch numbers.

They are just situations in search of a solution, and the people that find solutions get wealthy while those that have "problems" vote for people like Obama, Bernie, and Hillary. 

My thoughts are that even if income went slightly positive (instead of negative), overall it would keep me in lower tax brackets and probably eliminate the Obama tax that would kick in due to the outright sale of B with no 1031.  

You're just an Obama hater who can't think for himself....

I believe they got them as a prize from a shipment of Cracker Jack boxes Obama sent every Demo :mrgreen:

In the case of Obama, this has not been a surprise.

Obama flies in, talks for 20 minutes and flies out.

Obama finally started meeting with small businesses – GE, Chrysler, Citigroup, and GM – to discuss the next stimulus package.6.Hot wheels and matchbox cars are now trading at higher prices than GM's stock.7.You get a pre-declined credit card in the mail.8.Your reality check bounced.9.The stock market indexes have been renamed: the Dow is now the down Jones and the S&P is now the substandard and very poor.10.Webster is keeping its dictionary length constant by adding words that are commonly used, such as twitter, tweet, and Facebook and dropping those no longer needed, such as retirement, pensions, and Social Security.I have to admit, I really laughed at a couple of these!

If you want to learn how to sell ice to an eskimo, buffalo pelts to an environmentalist, and actual free market economics to Obama, try Marshall Sylver's training.

Comrade Obama!
