Landlords should have to pay income tax on their rental properties regardless of whether they're rented out or not. (gothamist.com)

Why? Because apparently they need some more incentive to keep units occupied. Also, even though a property might be vacant, there's still imputed rental income there. Its owner is just receiving it in the form of enjoying the unit for himself instead of receiving an actual rent check from a tenant. That imputed rent ought to be taxed like any other income.

Homeless in the US - 0.2% of the population.

Homeless in Russia - 3.5% of the population.

Is this going the way you thought it would?

Russia has a capitalist, pro-landlord economy, just like the US...

The US murder rate (6.81) and Russia (6.80) are virtually identical. The suicide rates though…

US suicide rate - 14.04

Russia suicide rate - 21.6

No word on the window rate for each country.

Happiness index

US - 6.951

Russia - 5.477

I think it's pretty hilarious that you assume everybody opposed to capitalism is Russian, and use that as a counter-example for why "communism" is failing today.

Did history stop for you in 1991 or something? The neoliberals won; Russia has been a hyper-capitalist abomination living in the corpse of the USSR for over three decades now. Why would we care that Russia sucks? Everybody knows it sucks now.

I've read and re-read this thread... Do you think Russia is currently communist? Like... Putin is a communist, the United Russia Party is communist etc etc. Is this actually your belief?
