Certain things are paid for by the municipality or county and incur costs to same. People. The people that use those resources like schools roads fire safety EMS etc can play all sorts of games about where they "officially" live but they can't hide the actual house that their big fat butt sits in so it makes sense to tax that.

What you are saying is that its OK to tax someone who barely makes enough to live by taxing their income but if bob has 2M in property we shouldn't tax THAT. Do you know how much income tax we should have to charge to make up for that? It's a LOT and 95% of the benefit will accrue to those who are in the top 10% of wealth whilst much of the cost will be put on those in the folks on the lower rungs.

Shall we also forego taxing the 7 - 75th investment property?.

Can we maybe admit that having put $20,000 into a house that is now worth 2M isn't a terrible problem to have and that grandpa is still the winner even with taxes?

Most other people can function outside small stone age sized groupings just fine. A risk of marriage ending years or perhaps decades later leaving you alive well wiser and richer than when you begun having raised children and started a career is pretty obviously not the same as a risk of ending up in many small burned pieces on a field somewhere 2 hours from now. People still do it because it still makes sense.

Women want no fault divorce not because they are morally bereft but because nobody should be trapped against their will.

Asking people to pay a share of their unearned wealth the same as all of us have to pay out of our earned wealth is totally shitting on them...

Yep under insured and bad people in charge ignoring all the raping for years

Normally people accept the inherent inability to judge another human soul from the inside as the price of interaction with other human beings. What you are describing as some sort of pathology is in fact the human condition.

Well I’m fresh out of women I grew up with, so now I’m supposed to meet a stranger and take her word for who she is?

In brief yes you are supposed to meet people talk to them. See them live their life and adjudge how their speech and claims line up with their actions. This is what literally most people on the planet are doing most of them with at least SOME success. You are uniquely bad at this like worst 10% and you ascribe this somehow to a feature of the universe instead of admitting it is 100% your own cowardice. Basically its unlikely that you are uniquely bad just following a uniquely bad strategy that you will come to regret.

What you actually mean is that the housing market is hot dumping a bunch of unearned wealth on every asshole who bought a house in the last 50 years meaning that with the extra wealth you get to pay additional taxes.

This specifically is literally a town of 800 still owing 6 million dollars after they spent their little coffers and their insurance paid out what it was going to pay. They are literally taxing the home owners exactly what it cost to pay the settlement I doubt that is happening all over the place.

So you have bad judgement AND little motivation and the problem is all women.

You who have no interest in marriage and have never had a serious relationship obviously are raging about women being able to just up and leave when you have never and will never be in that position. What do you know about women, relationships, or marriage? This is sounding more and more like typical incel shit.

Would you like to start talking about how hard you have been hitting the gym and you still can't meet your "looksmatch"

Why would it make any sense to give someone any authority based on whom they are fucking rather than their tangible skills and experience?

That seems to be the attitude that women approach marriage with these days

Where? In your fantasies? Back in reality marriage is a big risk to both parties if it doesn't work out and people mostly marry people they intend to stay with long term

I cite women being strong proponents of it as evidence they don’t view their marriages as permanent from the very beginning.

Marriage shouldn't be permanent if it is wrong for either party. In fact the idea that once you convinced someone to marry you they are stuck with you no matter how shitty a person you become is a disincentive to positive change that might benefit all.

It’s a contract structured to last the rest of your life,

You wish it was but it just isn't. It's a contract that exists so long as both parties remain invested that can and should be dissolved if its harmful to either party. This is actual reality. The overwhelming majority of women even those who are staunchly committed to their own marriages aren't willing to subject women to a life sentence with a shithead if she doesn't agree.

Is it because they’ll throw you a big party and you get to wear a big frilly dress if you go through with it?

You might just be a moron

I’m not an opponent of no-fault divorce.

You then proceed to say all the reasons you are against no fault divorce. Also if you weren't against it why would you have such a problem with women being proponents of it?

[–] michaelmrose@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago (11 children)

Why wouldn't no fault divorce be an inherent good for all why should you be able to trap someone who doesn't want to stay for whatever reason?

Also in todays economy you don't want a home maker you want another income
