  1. I'm in no way against gay marriage but fail to see any change in economics with or without a "marriage" bill approval. Gay couples are already dating, going out to dinner, socializing, etc. Other than an actual ceremony and party, which is a one time event, i cant see much other change or impact that would happen. Can you expand on that more to educate me/us on this issue?
  2. Your deflecting and just to hear yourself talk to cover yourself. Move along as I stand by my comments and am done with you
  3. I stand by my statement. In the USA the tax code is often amended or not finalized until the filing year. How they handle it here no one knows until it happens
  4. That is exactly what they have said and are working on the regulations for. I never said its the law now but the interpretation has already been changed on the current law. Its not speculation when that is the language they have used. What those regs will end up being no one knows and I have not said what they will be. It is worth noting and considering whether you like it or not. Thats what this whole thread is about, discussion on the implications of the tax changes.
  5. you really are clueless arent you?
  6. I think you might be one of those elusive trumpette lemmings that cant seem to see reality and fact thru the fog of love.
  7. The truth does seem to elude some posters on here.
  8. I think your posts defines who's bright and which category do you fall into?
  9. That is a moronic statement and has no basis in fact unless you can post a link somewhere connecting the dots. I'll wait to see if you can but I suspect it will be crickets from you
  10. Yes but unfortunately here in Thailand accepting responsibility and actually paying are 2 different things and often not connected.
  11. That may or may not be accurate. The gift may not be taxed but depending on the the threshold they set and the regs they produce on what is considered accessible income you could still find yourself taxable for other income. They have indicated income does not need to be brought into the country if you're deemed a tax resident and that's the wild card. Your country's DTA will have great bearing on qualifying your exposure. No one knows what the final outcome will be yet as they are still sorting thru the approach to this. For the complainers that nothing has been finalized and published yet, its no different than tax code in most countries. They often don't finalize code until the year of submission which is 2025 for this issue.
  12. Well I'm not in favor of this happening as the different agencies within the country don't play well together. On the fip side most developed countries in the world have checks and balances to all the different issues like foreigners qualifying for taxation due to being in a residency category and regs about working. For the expats here to get all butt hurt about the concept is a bit ridiculous. If it happens to get linked then just decide if its acceptable to you and stay if it is and leave and go somewhere else if it isn't.
  13. Its ok now, Bob left already, or did he?
  14. I was referring to 8 years ago when his permission to stay expired.
  15. Some may be but many are not or dont seem to consider diagnostic testing for proper treatment especially in govt hospitals. In the south or outside of the bigger cities. They also dont like to be questioned or contradicted once they decide what the problem is in their mind.
  16. Being French I'm surprised he didn't surrender at the first sign of trouble
  17. So immigration officers shouldn't do their job but do other work so the police officials for that area don't have to ?
  18. I thought you probably did. Im from Manassas Va so know the area well
  19. You forget that absentee and mail in ballots are turned in for count in mass not as they come in not to mention the time that people typically vote. Your assertion is ridiculous
  20. Bob are you back already?
  21. I didn't say the information wasn't useful because it is. I just said the poster isn't presenting it accurately with his statements. When you read the content the information doesn't match his claims.
  22. You made some significant inaccurate statements in your post and it appears you didn't really read the links you posted or didn't understand what you read
  23. Thats the best you can do . Go back and read the whole discussion and try to keep up and not take things out of the context they are presented in. My discussion was with YT about why cant US Citizen get a ss number. If you have a SS number you had to apply legally to get it. Illegal immigrants cant. Thanks anyway
  24. You are not an illegal immigrant are you? Thats whats been discussed.
