    Funny how old people drive the sleekest and fastest race cars, especially expensive ones.
    If I had the money, I'd buy a red Ferrari, a yellow Lamborghini and a red Corvette and I ain't no spring chicken.

    Wait, you're complaining about someone making a career out of pretending he's someone other than who he really is?

    Funny considering you put on an act here pretending to be someone other than you really are AND you are a supporter of Trump who is a huge fraud and made a career out of pretending he's something he's not.

    You have been duped once again maris and are showing your hypocrisy once again. Believe all things against a democrat and excuse anything disparaging to trump. Read the article.

    I'm not a fan of Bernie, like way too far on that socialist side for me. Come on 2.5m is like absolutely nothing though...
    Also hope he's doing well after heart surgery. My dad has had multiple open-heart surgeries because of a birth defect and they can be really tough to recover from.

    No, not seriously. It's unlikely that even if he got elected, the wealth tax would be implemented. Just because a candidate proposes something doesn't automatically make it law if he gets elected.

    Buy American bro. It would make an NSX look like it was going backwards.

    I think the real problem you would have with this wealth tax is compliance. Most billionaires don't know exactly what they have and there would be little motivation to do a yearly inventory just so they can pay a toll.

    It was pretty minor as blockages is a matter of inserting a stint and recovery time is a couple days.

    Aren't you planning on getting married soon? Time to kiss your dream car dreams goodbye. It's gonna be dirty diapers for you, my friend.

    Lucky for him he's got that Free Cadillac Healthcare provided to Congress by the people who can't afford Obamacare or any other healthcare for themselves.

    Socialist? LMAO.
