Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com Matthew 17:27 Payment of the Temple Tax 24 On their arrival in Capernaum, the collectors of the Temple tax came to Peter and asked him, “Doesn't your teacher pay the Temple tax?” 25 “Yes, he does,” Peter replied. Then he went into the house. But before he had a chance to speak, Jesus asked him, “What do you think, Peter? Do kings tax their own people or the people they have conquered?” 26 “They tax the people they have conquered,” Peter replied. “Well, then,” Jesus said, “the citizens are free! 27 However, we don't want to offend them, so go down to the lake and throw in a line. Open the mouth of the first fish you catch, and you will find a large silver coin. Take it and pay the tax for both of us.” Couldn't pay my taxes my first year at my Fathers church… walked in to his office - what am I going to do? I owe $4000. The phone rang… are you still wanting to sell your boat? I will give you 4k for it. Tax collectors are trying to catch Jesus… How much money did you give for the new sign??? I thought you loved your church and God???? JESUS HAD THE - Freedom to not pay taxes… but wisdom to pay taxes. Freedom without wisdom is a stumbling block to others. Any virtue in and of itself is an evil. Aristotle On this occasion Jesus chooses to not offend… but later he will flip tables in the temple. There is an intimacy that one requires in order to know which one you choose? LESSON: I no longer question someones motives or actions if I know they are intimate with God. Graceful compromise… Early on in our Marriage going to her relatives dinner… THE RIDE HOME. Why did you not say anything??? Invited to your spouses family dinner. They are all raving lunatics that hate religion, faith, Trump, puppies and chocolate… You don't need to go, but you gracefully compromise so that you might have a chance to love on them… and not give them a reason to be offended. You are dining out and trying your best to share Christ with your server… but they are subpar at best… but you tip them generously anyway because you don't want to give them a reason to be further offended at the gospel or Christians. Someone blows up at you at work… they tell human services you get pulled in and reprimanded. You just take it, smile and ask for forgiveness… because you know righteousness is more important than you being right. This isn't weakness - its meekness. I could, but I won't! WE SOMETIMES PROVOKE NEEDLESS OPPOSITION TRYING TO HARD TO BE RIGHT - RATHER THAN LOVING! When we are right morally we may in fact be wrong spiritually… We can focus on Non essentials, Captious, making mountains out of mole hills. We attack abortion and not share Christ Love We attack Socialism and not share Christ Love We attack Transgenderism and not share Christ love We attack their music, clothes, Political stance, their theological stance, even their religion and choices…

Zohran gives all credit to Bernie Sanders for teaching Zohran the language of democratic Socialism. Emma Vigeland asks Zohran if he believes that a large win in the mayoral race would provide him with leverage with Albany since Hochul is up for reelection in 2026. Hochul speaks at the rally and is drowned out by "Tax the Rich" chants.

Thinking about buying a new vehicle? Dr. Friday explains the new rules for deducting auto loan interest and who qualifies based on income. Transcript G'day, I'm Dr. Friday, president of Dr. Friday's Tax and Financial Firm. To get more info, go to www.drfriday.com. This is a one-minute moment. Auto loans can deduct up to ten thousand dollars of interest, but there's always a but—it has to be new. It has to be a new car, minivan, SUV, pickup truck, or motorcycle after the year of 2024. And you need to have, again, limitations to income: $100,000 for individuals and $200,000 if filing joint. If your income is above that, you will not be able to qualify. If it's under, you might be able to qualify. So maybe this is a good time to think—do I need a car now or within the next few months? Because if you don't buy at the right time and the right car, you may not be able to deduct this interest, which normally we can't. Check me out, drfriday.com. You can catch the Dr. Friday Call-in Show live every Saturday afternoon from 2 to 3 p.m. right here on 99.7 WTN.

Early this morning, the Labour Party made a surprise Capital Gains Tax announcement. The targeted tax would raise funds for the health system, including three free doctors' visits per year. The tax wouldn't apply to the family home, farms, KiwiSaver, shares, business assets, inheritances, and personal items. Dentons Tax Partner Bruce Bernacchi told Kerre Woodham that, "people will call it a capital gains tax when it's actually not, because it's extremely targeted just on property."

Mark Miller, known as “The Money Man,” discussed his work as a business financial consultant and his partnership with Brad Hilton of the Hilton family—grandson of Conrad Hilton. Together, they manage Hilton Tax and Wealth Advisors and the Hilton Family Office, focusing on bringing high-level, institutional wealth strategies to everyday investors. Their goal is to bridge the gap between Wall Street and Main Street, giving average entrepreneurs access to the same sophisticated tools the ultra-wealthy use to build and preserve wealth.Miller explained the concept of a family office, which originated with the Rockefellers as a way to unify financial advisors, attorneys, and wealth managers under one coordinated structure. Over time, this evolved into the virtual family office (VFO) model, which outsources top experts across different fields rather than hiring a large in-house staff. This approach allows clients—whether in large cities or small towns—to access the best professionals globally through modern technology, without the massive overhead or management challenges of traditional offices.The discussion then shifted to common challenges family offices face, based on a Vast Vault community survey: hiring, succession planning, and tax mitigation. Miller shared that virtual family offices eliminate many hiring issues since they outsource to “best-in-class” experts rather than recruiting internally. This ensures clients get top-tier service without the risks of turnover or mismatched talent, which often plague traditional family offices.On succession planning, both Miller and Kenner agreed it's one of the most complex and emotionally charged parts of wealth management. It often takes years to coordinate among multiple generations and advisors. Miller emphasized the importance of including spouses and younger heirs early in the planning process to maintain harmony and prevent disputes. Communication, he noted, is the key to avoiding future conflict—especially as family dynamics evolve and new decision-makers step in.Finally, they addressed tax mitigation, which Miller ranked as the most critical element of wealth building. He stressed that proactive and advanced tax planning can dramatically increase net worth, citing examples where clients saved millions in a single year. Both agreed that focusing on tax efficiency allows families to grow their wealth faster and more sustainably. Takeaways• Mark Miller is a financial consultant with extensive experience in family offices.• Family offices originated from the Rockefellers to manage wealth cohesively.• Virtual family offices offer boutique services with outsourced expertise.• Communication among advisors is crucial for effective wealth management.• Succession planning is complex and requires inclusive communication.• Tax mitigation is essential for building and preserving wealth.• Advanced tax strategies can significantly reduce tax liabilities.• AI can enhance efficiency in wealth management and tax planning.• Wealth management should focus on safety before seeking high returns.• Education on wealth strategies should be accessible to all, not just the wealthy.Sound Bites• What is a family office?• The original was an individual family office.• Succession planning is very complex.Listen & Subscribe for More:
Note: The Season of the Witch Replays will only be available until Nov. 1st.Today on the final day of Season of the Witch we did our group liberation ritual where we cross the threshold of belonging together.We gathered (over 200 of us!) in a virtual forested sanctuary to bring everything from this week full circle. And spoiler: it got emotional. Even our Capricorn moon team members teared up.Here's what went down:We cast our circle by welcoming all four seasons - the darkness and faith of winter, the relief and new beginnings of spring, the long hot days of summer, and the beauty in endings that autumn brings. Sara shared reflection prompts for journaling or card pulling for:Threshold of Seeing: Threshold of Trusting: Threshold of Timing: Threshold of Presence: Threshold of Belonging: Anna pulled group cards using the Sasuraito Tarot (gorgeous deck alert), and they were SO on point: The wisdom that emerged:Just by being here - whether live or on replay - you make it easier for someone else to feel like they belong. That's medicine for the witch wound we all need.Then we closed with: "I am not becoming powerful. I am remembering the power that was always mine. My season isn't waiting, it's here."Team TSE got vulnerable too: Pati shared about her move to Mexico (crying all the way from LA to San Diego) and choosing to trust herself over waiting for the "right time." Naomi pulled the Six of Pentacles and got slapped in the face with the reminder that it's okay to receive, not just give. Anna keeps pulling the same shadow work themes but in different octaves - proof that when you do the work, it evolves with you.The truth: Even when life is objectively good (roof over head, food on table, leisure time for rituals), we still get that "life eczema" feeling. That doesn't require fixing. That requires witnessing. That requires remembering we belong even when something feels itchy.Looking at shadow isn't a call to fix it - it's recognizing the ecosystem. Like the damp, shaded forest floor where mushrooms grow and worms thrive. We need that decay for the whole forest to function. Your shadow is part of your ecosystem too.Ready for more of this energy?Join us in Enchanted Journey - our rolling membership where we practice together at new/full moons, host seasonal events (Halloween class-a-thon starts Monday!), gather for coffee chats, and hold space for each other's magic.

Tune In to Talk Law Radio: Slam Dunk Your Vote on the Spurs Arena Future! Will Bexar County tip off a game-changing downtown revival—or pass on the play that keeps the Spurs in San Antonio for generations? Join host Todd Marquardt this week on Talk Law Radio as we break down the high-stakes Bexar County election showdown: Propositions A and B. These aren't just ballot measures—they're the key to unlocking Project Marvel, a $3-4 billion sports and entertainment district that could deliver a state-of-the-art Spurs arena, rodeo expansions, and economic fireworks downtown. But with critics calling foul on taxpayer risks and the mayor urging caution, is this a winning shot or a risky buzzer-beater? Todd dives deep into the venue tax hike (from 1.75% to 2% on hotels and rentals—paid by visitors, not locals), the $311 million arena fund, and what it means for our city's future. Don't sit on the bench—tune in and get courtside on the facts! "

Trusts are hardly mentioned outside of when wealth tax is in the news, or when someone mentions their accountant told them to get one. One side of the political aisle seems to have a good list of reasons as to why someone would need a trust, while the other side seems to be convinced that essentially the only reason anyone would have one would be to hide assets. So what is the real purpose of a trust? LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Imagine navigating the complexities of wartime medicine, where every decision can mean the difference between life and death. Join us for an unfiltered conversation with Dr. Oleksandr Sokolov, a Ukrainian vascular surgeon who has been in the thick of it, bringing groundbreaking innovations to the surgical battlefield. Dr. Sokolov reveals how the use of acellular tissue-engineered vessels is not just a technical advancement, but a lifeline for those caught in the crossfire. Get a firsthand account of how these innovations are reshaping trauma management in ways that remain largely unseen by the rest of the world.

As Trump takes a bulldozer to the White House and liberal democracy, we take a deep dive into the devastating potential impact of the tech oligarchs here in Wisconsin. Foxconn 2.0: the Data Center Invasion, shows that as in the movies the sequel is even worse than the original. Robert tells us about economist Jerrod Bernstein's forecast that there is an AI bubble that will pop the stock market and leave Wisconsinites holding the bag on huge new fossil fuel plants and infrastructure when AI goes bust. We review how state and local officials continue to ignore growing public public opposition and lavish the tech giants with generous state a local tax subsidies. In addition, opposition to the transmission lines for massive data centers is growing and producing unique new political alignments. Also on this week's show: Congressman Brian Stiel's bill that would cut funding to Milwaukee, other major transit systems; Flu vaccination rates plummet in Wisconsin in the wake of anti-vax disinformation from the top of government; and Wisconsin federal food assistance runs out in 8 days, leaving over 700,000 Wisconsinites in peril.

Meanwhile, businesses trying to hire for the holiday season have plenty of applicants to pick from but might need to adjust their slow-moving process.

Welcome back to another episode of The Richer Geek Podcast. Today we are joined by Brad Johnson, Co-founder and Chief Investment Officer of Vintage Capital. Brad shares how mobile home park investing is quietly outperforming traditional real estate. He breaks down why this niche is attracting serious investors, the powerful tax advantages that come with it, and how it helps solve America's growing affordable housing problem all while delivering steady, long-term returns. In this episode, we chat about… Brad's journey from small rental properties to managing $3B+ in real estate deals Why mobile home parks deliver high yield and low default rates The five classes of mobile home parks and where the best opportunities are How bonus depreciation and cost segregation boost investor returns Smart due diligence tips when buying mobile home parks Why Brad shifted from operator to allocator and what that means for investors How investing in affordable housing creates both profit and purpose Key Takeaways: Mobile home parks are an underrated, recession-resistant real estate play. The stigma keeps competition low and returns strong. Tax incentives can offset a major portion of taxable income. Long-term ownership builds wealth faster than quick flips. Reliable local partners make or break success in this space. You can invest in affordable housing and still achieve strong financial growth.

In this episode of the Massive Passive Cashflow Podcast, I sit down with investor and operator Jack Martin, Co-Founder & Chief Investment Officer of 52TEN, to break down why mobile home parks (MHPs) can be the most stable cash-flowing real estate when structured as tenant-owned homes (TOH) on leased land. From renovating SFRs and scaling multifamily to building an institutional-grade MHP platform, Jack explains the playbook: buy quality assets, stabilize, return capital, then keep the long-term coupon—with powerful bonus depreciation along the way. An Army veteran turned entrepreneur, Jack co-founded 52TEN, an Arizona-based, vertically integrated investment firm specializing in the acquisition and repositioning of mobile home parks. The firm manages 1,800 lots across 5 states with $60M in private investor capital, helping clients invest with confidence using a long-term, tax-favored strategy. Jack's broader background spans $450M+ in acquisitions/dispositions across residential and commercial assets, general contracting and development, and capital management. We discuss how to underwrite institutional-quality parks (often 100+ lots), why TOH beats POH for durability and maintenance, what markets and regulations to watch, and how agency debt (Fannie/Freddie) and expense discipline (often ~30–40%) shape returns. If you're an investor seeking durable income, low turnover, and smart tax planning, this episode is your blueprint. What You Will Learn: How Jack “tripped” into mobile home parks—and why he never looked back Why tenant-owned homes (TOH) create exceptional stability & low turnover (avg. stays can approach ~15 years) The supply reality: for every 1 park built, ~10 are redeveloped—how scarcity impacts value A simple market screen: affordability gap (median home price ≈ $300k+), plus job & population growth Regulation & rent control: why owner-friendly jurisdictions matter—and how policy affects capex and community outcomes Underwriting the deal: target lot counts, quality thresholds, and getting agency-eligible debt Expense & utilities 101: typical 30–40% expense ratios; power direct-billed; water/sewer sub-metered & billed back The 52TEN playbook: buy great assets → stabilize → refi/supplemental → return capital → hold the coupon Tax angle: how bonus depreciation can create meaningful passive losses on K-1s (consult your CPA) Who can invest (accredited only) and the minimum check size ($100k) Links & Resources: Website: https://52ten.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jack-martin-52ten/ Attention Investors and Agents: Are you looking to grow your business?

David McKnight discusses one of the most destructive pieces of retirement advice he has ever heard: that you should never do a Roth conversion in retirement or within five years of retiring. Dave Ramsey believes you should forego doing a Roth conversion if you're within five years of retirement or are already retired – because of the so-called Five-Year Rule. The problem with this approach, according to David, is that Ramsey is misinterpreting what that rule actually means, in addition to confusing multiple rules and applying them to the wrong people. Ramsey's advice, continues David, encourages retirees to make choices that could cost them a fortune and taxes over time. The bigger issue, however, is the fact that Ramsey is focusing on the wrong thing – what he should really focus on is where tax rates are headed in the future. The current historically low tax rates won't last, as the U.S. national debt is on track to hit $63 trillion by 2035. If that were to happen, the U.S. Congress won't have the luxury of keeping tax rates low anymore. According to former Comptroller General David Walker, tax rates will likely need to double just to keep the Government solvent. A recent Penn Wharton study found that if the U.S. doesn't get its house in order by 2040, no combination of raising taxes or reducing spending will arrest the financial collapse of the nation. David warns that if you're still contributing to or sitting on a big tax-deferred nest egg like a 401(k) or IRA, you're setting yourself up to pay massive taxes in the future. Remember: 2035 is your Roth conversion deadline. David goes through his suggested strategies to avoid paying higher tax rates and potential penalties in the future. Something good to keep in mind is that if you're in the 0% tax bracket and tax rates double, two times zero is still zero… David sees Dave Ramsey as the go-to expert for get-out-of-debt advice, not retirement planning strategy.

Why saying NO! feels impossible, and what you can do about it.Why is it so hard for entrepreneurs to say "no"? As we debated on the latest episode of Empowering Entrepreneurs, it turns out that staying focused is often tougher than finding opportunities!Entrepreneurs are naturally solution-seekers and optimists, always believing they can solve “just one more problem.” But as hosts Julie Smith and Glenn Harper discussed, knowing when—and why—to say “no” is essential for sustainable growth and maintaining your sanity.This episode is brought to you by PureTax, LLC. Tax preparation services without the pressure. When all you need is to get your tax return done, take the stress out of tax season by working with a firm that has simplified the process and the pricing. Find out more about how we started.Here are key takeaways from our conversation:The Yes Syndrome: Julie opens up about her lifelong struggle with saying yes to every opportunity and the internal questions she faces: “Why can't I say no?” and “What does another yes actually change?”Opportunity Everywhere: Glenn discusses how entrepreneurs are “programmed” to see solutions everywhere—and the challenge of balancing self-belief with actual bandwidth. He compares the entrepreneurial mindset to NFL players trying to play every position—it just isn't sustainable in the long run!Delegation and Teamwork: Both Glenn and Julie explore the idea of leveraging teams and partnerships to avoid overcommitting. Building a support system isn't just smart—it's essential if you want to make a real impact without burning out.Defining Your ‘Why': Before jumping into something new, Glenn challenges listeners to ask, “Just because I can, should I?” Are you saying yes for money, ego, the thrill of a challenge, or simply to stay busy? Getting clear on your motivation helps you focus on what truly matters.Relaxation Remains Elusive: Julie and Glenn humorously discuss what it means to actually relax—a concept that seems almost mythical for most entrepreneurs. Apparently, some people do sit on boats or drink iced tea all day!Solving vs. Scaling: The conversation circles back to the risks of “solopreneur” syndrome versus building teams and systems. It's about knowing your limits, setting boundaries, and ensuring that you're not just solving endless problems but making intentional progress.Entrepreneurship isn't simply about chasing every opportunity. The real magic comes from knowing when to say no, understanding your ‘why,' and creating systems that let you make an impact without sacrificing your health or the quality of your work.Stay empowered.00:00 Delegation Enables Sustainable Productivity03:49 "Why Do Anything?"06:19 "Solving Drives Success"Running a business doesn't have to run your life.Without a business partner who holds you accountable, it's easy to be so busy ‘doing' business that you don't have the right strategy to grow your business.Stop letting your business run you.

Chicago faces a $1.15 billion deficit. To raise revenue, Mayor Johnson proposed a corporate head tax that would charge companies with 100 or more employees – who spend 50% of their time in Chicago – $21 per employee per month. This would raise an estimated $100 million annually and would be used to fund community safety and violence interruption. But some business leaders say it's a “job killer.” In the Loop speaks with Ralph Martire, executive director of the Center for Tax and Budget Accountability, Julie Dworkin, co-executive director of the Institute for the Public Good and Sam Toia, president and CEO of the Illinois Restaurant Association for different viewpoints on the corporate head tax.

Fashion isn't just functional — it's transformative. It can be a form of political speech, like when Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made headlines in a white gown emblazoned with “Tax the Rich.” It can also be a statement of resistance, as when the Black Panthers adopted black berets, a uniform that came to symbolize unity and power. Understanding the language of fashion is key to understanding the times we live in. It's a translator for anyone trying to navigate this moment and one of the ten steps to reclaiming freedom and power as we challenge norms and assert our identity. Those of us who are pro-democracy may one day need to show who we are just as clearly. What we wear might matter more than we think. This week on Assembly Required, Stacey is joined by fashion editor and Pulitzer Prize–winning writer Robin Givhan. She breaks down how fashion reflects our culture back to us and what that reflection reveals about the political moment we're in.Learn & Do More:Be Curious: If you enjoyed my conversation with Robin, pick up her latest book, Make It Ours: Crashing the Gates of Culture with Virgil Abloh.Solve Problems: Of the 100 billion garments produced each year, 92 million tonnes end up in landfills — the equivalent of one garbage truck full of clothes every single second. To help reduce waste, be mindful of your clothing consumption and shopping habits. Before clicking “buy” on that fast fashion site for the latest trend at the cheapest price, ask yourself: Do I really need this? Can I buy it from a sustainable source? Can I thrift something similar instead? Do Good:If you have old clothes or have been meaning to clean out your closet, don't throw them away. Instead, consider donating them to those in need. Goodwill, your place of worship, or local homeless shelters are great places to start.
