My cousin is a Teamster doing construction in the city. His company just did one of the buildings on 'Billionaire's Row' in Mid-town. Almost 100 stories. Penthouse was a few floors and went for something like $60+ million. All the other units were $7-9 million, and were sold before the place was finished.
Because the units were all cookie cutter apartments (same floor plans), most of the buyers had guys like my bud lined up before they even set foot in the place to move walls, throw away fixtures, etc, and 'personalize' their places.
These are the folks Bernie Sanders was ranting about.
Another guy whose bikes I work on tells me he does investing for the one percent. Their two biggest priorities are big returns and no income taxes. Tells me he did a portfolio for one of his customers that made $18 million in the last 5 years. And the guy paid no taxes.
These are the folks that own Hillary and Trump and most of the government.
They don't want to know that you could do your kitchen for chump change.
You've got a line to some insight few regular Joes ever see.
