Come on! These guys need a tax break!
Read the article at the link. All I can say is banking and weapons and tax breaks and GOP donations, oh my!

GOP heavyweight and friend of Aspen Skiing Company's Crown family pays $31.5 million for Aspen pad
http://www.realvail.com/article/242/GOP-heavyweight-and-friend-of-Aspen-Skiing-Companys-Crown-family-pays-315-million-for-Aspen-p

<snip>
The owner of the $31.5 million stone mansion that recently sold in Aspen is a clandestine Chicago fat cat who works and plays with Jim and Paula Crown, the owners of the Aspen Skiing Company, and bankrolls Republican causes.

J. Christopher Reyes bought the 15,000-square-foot pad Oct. 29, setting a new high for a single-family home sale in Pitkin County this year. It sits on 44 acres near the Buttermilk ski area and includes a guesthouse and horse stable. The property, once owned by the Pfisters, was listed for $47.5 million.

Any questions on how the system works?

Please Dems, let the Bush tax cuts expire. Then pass your own bill that helps the poor, sick and needy.

3. And they probably hire a whole 50 people for the joint. Right? So billions for hiring 50 people?
Right. Makes perfect sense during a Republican clown season called Congress.

2. Oh sure, the Reyes got a nice deal
But what about the Pfisters, the sellers? They listed the property for $47.5 million and only got $31.5! That's more than 33% below their asking price! Who's going to make the Pfisters whole for their loss? Huh? Bet you libruls don't think about that, do you? Won't someone please think of the Pfisters!

5. Yeah, They can lease the G-V (big private jet) with their extra cash...
..that they get with their tax cut. The rest of us fly commercial with the masses. Must be nice to get the jet as a perk for being really rich!
