Landlords should have to pay income tax on their rental properties regardless of whether they're rented out or not. (gothamist.com)

Why? Because apparently they need some more incentive to keep units occupied. Also, even though a property might be vacant, there's still imputed rental income there. Its owner is just receiving it in the form of enjoying the unit for himself instead of receiving an actual rent check from a tenant. That imputed rent ought to be taxed like any other income.

Soviet Union and Nazi Germany had a pact with each other

The pact that was formed after France and England failed to enter into an anti-Nazi pact with the USSR?

A pact that was a necessity when all the Allies rebuffed the USSR, but also a pact that documents show the USSR never even intended to honour from day one.

It's pretty clear the Soviets expected Germany to violate the pact, they wouldn't have bothered building a massive fucking defensive line between them and Germany if they hadn't.
