    If your wife was only clearing 100 per month in profit from a rental house you all must be just amazingly bad at whatever you were doing and should have sold the house as soon as you weren’t living in it. Rent has skyrocketed and home value continually risen quickly for the last 40 years. I’m not even sure how this is possible.

    Standard rent is at least 1-1.5% of current not original value per month and taxes are about that per year.

    you probably bought for 150 you earned 100,000 when it ballooned up to 250k rented it for at least 2500 a month x24 months or 60,000 paid 6000 each to taxes and management pocketed another 48,000

    When you sold realizing that cool 100k you naturally had to do all the repairs and upkeep you had been putting off so you ended up coming out of pocket for “thousands”

    In the end you netted 140k for doing 10 hours work once whereas the median worker earns 200-250

    You probably charged here so much to ensure you made the “market rate” eg people like you that she had no funds saved to actually move and you probably nickel and dimed her deposit away for stuff that was actually on you.

    Where am I wrong?

    Obama focused on recent unauthorized border crossers and people who were actually criminals whilst allowing lawful claims of asylum, protecting dreamers and those who would face harm at home and benignly ignoring long term people contributing. During his last year they spent $6B

    Trump

    • budgeted 200B this year alone to hire an army with the promise of imprisoning or deporting 25M people (more than actually exist)

    • Separated children whilst losing thousands of them to punish people for coming here with the intent that fear of losing their children might keep them out

    • Has armed gangs of anonymous thugs disappearing people off the streets with limited to zero due process.

    • States that due to an invasion we don’t need to give anyone due process

    • Has asserted in court that we can can send them abroad to areas where we know they will be tortured and killed

    • Has deported people to countries they are not from

    • Has deported people to a torturous hell hole based on false claims of criminality

    • When one person was singled out as innocent he had his justice department trump up charges to pretend the original claim was real

    • Is building the American Auschwitz

    • Has claimed that children of unlawful immigrants are not citizens despite the constitution states that he is the only authority his people should follow on the law not the courts

    • Punishes students for speaking out by yanking visas and imprisoning them in legal limbo

    • Has said that getting rid of legal immigrants who don’t belong here (non-whites) is the “next job”

    • Took out a full page ad in a major national paper calling for the lynching of black teens who turned out to be innocent

    • Discriminated against non-whites in both housing and employment

    • Has ice agents as we speak racial profiling and punishing people for being non-white see the 82 year old grandpa originally from Chile who was sent to die in Guatemala while keeping his family in the dark about his kidnapping. He a legal resident was kidnapped while at an office seeking a replacement green card for the one he had mislaid.

    As only around 12M actual illegal immigrants actually exist and its impossible in any reasonable length of time to deport even that number in any sane length of time we are going to fill concentration camps with millions of people more people than we have ever incarcerated. An operation of the size they contemplate run merely as slipshod as the one he is already running will inevitably snag innumerable American citizens who shall be sent to the camps alongside their immigrant neighbors.

    Many citizens and immigrants are going to die. Die of violence. Die of sickness. Die of privation.

    Does ANYTHING above sound like life under Obama? But by all means keep pushing the both sides narrative.

    The republicans just funded a gestapo force which is rounding up brown people (some of them citizens) to take them to concentration camps where some and probably soon all of them are going to start dying.

    Recently an 82 year old legal permanent resident originally from Chile where he fled the horror story we kick started decades ago was nabbed whilst replacing his lost green card and is now on deaths door in Gautama where we left him to die on the street whilst lying to his family so they couldn’t help him.

    Please tell me this is the same as life under Obama.
