Why even keep working?

NPR had a good story years back on these people. After a certain point, it's not even about the money because after a couple hundred million you've realistically got more than you can spend. It's about score keeping. They're chasing richest man rankings. They could have 10 million in liquid assets so long as they show up a few places higher on Forbes list.

He has no clue, his whole position is adversarial. It isnt built on any independent foundation. A c00nbot 1000 if you will.
I know he seen my question and skipped right past it. It's unfortunate because I legit wanted to know what he had to say.

But I guess you may be right

Oh damn. So what do you think a good solution would be?


There should be preference for Small Business owners. They are the most important that should be taken care of. They are the main entity that brings wealth to local communities and up the value of a neighborhood. Also the biggest job creators for everyone

Small Businesses are also the most important in preventing Large Corporations having monopolies

They should get all types of Tax breaks, incentives, subsidies, etc etc

I answered it breh

@BaggerofTea and @Wild self are armchair Socialists. They have no clue how to create wealth

Create individual wealth, so the majority of the people suffer?

You love these billionaires so much, that you can near want to sacrifice your dignity to become them.

You hate the idea of the wealthy paying their share of taxes and making America into a true first world country.

The parroting of Socialist talking points is glaring, get a new lane. The armchair Socialist for daps is already taken

If you read this thread you would understand my position. But instead of reading, you chose ignorance instead

Regular joe schmoes ready to jump in front of bullets and fight tooth and nail for further expansions of wealth inequality.


That's like parapalegics fighting for a consitutional ban of the ADA, and the immediate removal of all ramps and elevators in state and federal buildings.

Just answer the question: do you believe that wealthy people do not deserve to pay taxes? 'Yes' or a 'no', with an explanation.

Cause the way you dodge these questions, is as if you are in bed with their corruption.

No way this guy adds $750 million worth of value to Apple

Didn't you know that making a decision to release identical product with extremely minimal upgrades over the older generations is worth $750 million:troll:

No one can convince me any CEO deserve the salary and bonuses they get. It must be so difficult having all expenses paid business trips and lunches at fancy 5 star restaurants and hotels and hiring lobbyist to bribe politicians in federal and state level. poor hardworking ceo's:stopitslime:

When you higher the tax for Billionaires, they have the money to hire Wealth Manager Consultants to scheme for them to avoid or defer taxes. And lobby like hell to government officials to create loopholes just for them

And if they get a tax burden, they'll just pass it along to their employees or customers by either limiting employee benefits/wages and overcharging prices to the customer

And making Taxes higher means it's higher for everyone, not just Billionaires. So while the Billionaires are avoiding taxes, the ones who really suffer are the high paid professionals (Lawyers, Doctors, Pharmacist, Union Trade workers, etc) who are in the 150k - 400k range and Small businesses who get the bulk of the tax burden

I forgot, Coli doesn't care about Small Businesses and Landlords, so gives a fukk right :wow:

But that issue is already existing, breh. And it is not even just billionaires that can avoid paying their fair share of taxes, but pretty much anyone that can afford the right talent that know how to legally hide money from irs. Now the real issue is how the tax revenue gets distributed. Because trillions of dollars can be wasted on wars, on a wall and other vanity projects.
