Poor baby has to sell his $25 million mansion because of Obama.
Let’s all cry elephant tears for this asshole that feels totally entitled.
FUCK YOU, JERRY!
What would a win for a guy who isn’t even in office yet do? And who can’t really affect policy yet? Because it sounds like Jerry’s problems are more serious than they seem, if he wasn’t capable of lasting an extra month!
Never heard of him, except that his name roughly translates to “girly man” (sic).
He wrote this book many years ago. He was funny then.
I had no idea he had gotten so high in the advertising world.
I don’t know the back-story but it probably goes something like this: He bought the place for less than $10 milllion, can now sell it for $25 million and doesn’t want to pay higher capital gains on the appreciation because of the “fiscal cliff”.
Next year he can buy it back for $30 million.
Don’t ever invite me to any party that this asshole might attend.
Right, but it’s not like on January 21, 2013, President Romney would’ve (could’ve) said “Capital gains tax is 0%! Millionaires get heavy tax cuts! Everybody gets laid!” and have all of congress vote it in that day. Wait 4 more years or quit bitching, dude.
I’d go to his party. Go, eat the rich foods, and destroy his toilet.
I like your party idea.
I think that in his mind if Romney had been elected Obama would have capitulated to Boehner or, if not, the new Congress, with Romney’s approval would revers the cliff and make all of the tax increases retroactive.
I’m surprised a Murdoch-owned paper would run an article that makes a Republican millionaire “job creator” sound like a whiny kid who’s taking his ball and going home because the other kids were mean to him. Is the Post usually this feisty, or do they just not realize how bad this makes the man look?
LMFAO!
The guy was okay with reducing the price from $40M to $25M, so it’s not like the money really matters to him that much. He’s just a douchebag, it seems.
ETA: I don’t know how they managed it, but they make him sound smug as he describes how he bought the place for $3M, put $6M into it, and now sold it for $25M. What was he whining about again? Taxes? Fuck him.
Wait.
He’s complaining because he had to drop the price on a vacation home, so it would sell before the new year, to avoid paying more taxes?
But it’s class warfare, doncha know, for someone to suggest slightly higher taxes on insanely rich people.
You know, I think if a class is this douchey, and this small, maybe it’s okay to start a war.
You know, in a real class war, they’d just shoot him and confiscate his entire property.
Hmmmmm…
Is this a sneaky socialist plot? Is Jerry D-F a secret Occupy agent?
Because now I want to say “Tax the Douchewads!”
Man, rich people just can’t do anything right in this country any more, can they?
You can’t be preposterously rich AND whiney. It’s Sophie’s Choice all over again.
Who’s in charge of the Straight to the Wall Come the Revolution list?
So… do I have this right. The guy marked his place down nearly 50% so it would sell THIS year in order to avoid a 35% tax NEXT year? (OH, and he will still be paying a 20-something% tax rate this year)?
I’m thinking it sounds more like the guy is hard up for money and trying to save face.
But… he wouldn’t be hard up for money if it wasn’t for Obaaaamaaa! Because Romney (or McCain) woulda had the money rolling in for rich dudes! </whine>
I want video of the girly man pushing his mansion off the fiscal cliff!!!
No wonder he wants to ditch it. Look at the shit party he threw “…in happier times.”
Hasn’t he heard? The landed already lost the class war.
That’s a sad looking party. And the credited photographer could go into the unfortunately named thread…
