2. If he's asset rich, but cash poor then he shouldn't have anything to worry about with a tax increase |
|
If he's making under $250K in income each year then he'll be fine regardless of how much his property is worth.

give me land, lots of land...
THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND Woody Guthrie
This land is your land, this land is my land From California, to the New York Island From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters This land was made for you and me
As I was walking a ribbon of highway I saw above me an endless skyway I saw below me a golden valley This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled and I've followed my footsteps To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts And all around me a voice was sounding This land was made for you and me
The sun comes shining as I was strolling The wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling The fog was lifting a voice come chanting This land was made for you and me
As I was walkin' - I saw a sign there And that sign said - no tress passin' But on the other side .... it didn't say nothin! Now that side was made for you and me!
In the squares of the city - In the shadow of the steeple Near the relief office - I see my people And some are grumblin' and some are wonderin' If this land's still made for you and me.

Since 1996, Rehberg has been managing the Rehberg Ranch near Billings. He oversees a herd of 500 cattle and 600 cashmere goats.
In July of 2010, Rehberg's corporation that has developed a subdivision on his former ranch land sued the City of Billings and its Fire Department for failing to protect trees and some scrub brush. While the suit was filed in July, Rehberg and his wife did not push forward with litigation, given the political pressures of the 2010 Congressional campaign. Statewide, Fire Department officials are concerned that suits like those filed by Rehberg will hurt efforts to contain fires. As KXLH News reported, "Now, two Helena-area fire department chiefs are saying cases like this could affect their operations. "We are balancing 1,000 things and the number one priority is life safety. So, even though we are afraid of being sued and all the other things, it certainly pales in comparison to sitting across the table from someone's wife or husband and telling them that they are dead or injured.
However he is one of the 4 republicans who voted against the Ryan bill 'Path to Prosperity' (Wikipedia)
