Donny Lalonde goes back in time to the 40s

[uncle ben]

He easily beats Lloyd Marshall, Archie Moore, Ezzard Charles, Joey Maxim, Jimmy Bivins and company. His nuke of a right hand takes care of them all.

Does all that happen before or after he gets arrested for looking gay?

I can’t argue on behalf of the others you listed, but I doubt he beats Moore or Charles. They’re too crafty for him. On outboxer like Charles is especially going to give him trouble.

- - Guess you weren't around when the Big American Banks pulled off the biggest real estate scam in history, uncountable trillions in equity disappeared so rapidly that survival of western democracies was on trial. Net result was govts printed $$$ to bail out most of the banks, but nothing to thesmall business owners and property owners most of whom lost everything as they ended up in bankruptcy court as Donny did.

That retired fireman wasted his million on an investment that he had no understanding of in an unstable Central American country.

I see it all in my little slice of what used to be one of the last paradises on earth. We have real estate sharks everywhere buying up and flipping property to no good end other than hoping they won't get caught out before the market goes belly up. City encourages the scam because they get their cut with every transaction.

Very few go to jail, after all, it's perfectly legal white collar crime!

Our homes never should have been included in the W Bush capital gains cut. - Before Bush it was nearly impossible with a 39.5 % capital gains tax (and no investment tax credit available for home flipping) to make money off of home speculation.

The capital gains cut could have been a positive marco tool but it needed to be limited to actual production companies, not paper capital and certainly not our homes. That's why the Clinton-Gingrich designed 'tax credit' system worked in the '90s.

They should have left our homes out if it . . . kept it the way it was: sell one home tax free, try to sell a second and third and you got ****d by the tax.

For 60 years Congress kept our homes away from the speculators with that system and then came with W Bush the classic conservative 'tax cut' ******ity yet one more time.

. . . . . . .

Unless of course you were speaking of the Savings and Loan collapse of the late '80s. Then of course we have to talk about the really ****** Reagan Commercial Proprty tax cut that front loaded bonus pay for lenders and encouraged massive bank loans into a market not in need of that much commercial construction growth.

My home, South Florida by the end of the '80s was spotted with empty strip malls, construction motivated by the quick profits the construction brought via the tax cut incentives, but the long term merchant renters never actually existed, so the malls stayed empty and down went the banks. In the end we had to use local tax dollars to tear down the empty malls, they were filling with homeless and ****.

We got to pay twice for that ******ly designed tax cut: first we had to use FICA dollars to cover the bank losses and then pay again to get rid of the useless construction.

Your home state Texas got left with multiple half filled high rise office buildings and a collapsed banking system . . . that your State licenced insurance companies couldn't cover and so the whole thing got dumped on the FDIC even though those Texas banks never paid into the system.

I had to pay out of my pocket to bail out Texas States Rights! LMAO

Rugged individualists my butt, that State never doesn't have its hand out for federal dollars.

See historically speaking there is a simple maxim to understanding American bank failures, first identify the poorly thought out ********** tax cut that preceded it.

Then there's Coolidge and Andrew Mellon in the 1920s . . . OK, OK, I'll stop!

I read the article . . . I think it a legal farce for real estate speculators to sue a real estate speculator!
