I dont even WANT a 100 milliion if its not 127 million.
What the fuck am i gonna buy with that?!?!
Now, this is tragic
Someone send the meme of Patrick with chocolate all over his face saying “now im gonna starve”
Imaging you saved those Tax amounts just to get SHOT by a GenZ named Luigi
You know when someone wins a $100M lotto and their lives are changed forever? If they take good care of it (which is exceedingly rare), they are set for life and have an opportunity at generational wealth.
To equal Elon’s net worth, you would have to win a $100M lotto every day for 12 years.
Two things here:
1) Generally noone taxes as part of wealth, only on income. It can be part of wealth when it comes to unregistered income or inheritance and maybe some other.
2) Billionaires don’t generally have all that as money or other assets. Mainly it’s shares that are worth that much in theory but you wouldn’t be able to sell them for that much.
billionaires are basically Smaug. they’re sleeping on a mountain of gold and would love to kill you even if take a single coin. except Smaug is badass, billionaires are just cunts.
It’s stunning how many folks don’t understand how tax works.
Idk man ive never lost 30,000,000,000 before but I bet it sucks
Jeeze no one understands wealth vs income. Everyone do yourselves a favour and learn how taxes work. It will stop you getting angry at misinformation like this.
Fact: People who’ve been completely eaten can not cry.
I’ll never understand it. I’m paying around 40k a year in taxes. Boo fucking hoo. Pay your share dude.
Ain’t gonna help him beat Octavius, anyway; Octavius would just be equivalently wealthier
It’s kind of like if I had 30 dollars in my pocket but suddenly I lost 3 dollars. Or maybe someone took 3 dollars from me for no reason….I mean buggers numbers but same idea
Imagine having $300k and crying and throwing up because you have to pay taxes and will only have $270k. Except in reality that $30k employees 25 people with families.
I literally lose 20% of my income at a job where I don’t even get benefits and these people are getting taxes half of that while making like 10,000× what I do
If I pretend that I don’t know how net worth works either, can I be your friend?
Why is it only a 10% tax rate.
Well he did win the presidency
if you could evade taxes you would evade taxes
The tax is around 40%, and that is because they pull the money all at once in one go.
Day in my life… You guys don’t know how much 270 billion is!! That’s like… 270 out of my three thousand Ferrari yachts!
I think the big problem is the wealth also represents ownership I.e power in the company. So if he were taxed on his ownership, over time he would lose power to make decisions in the company and the company would lose value assuming the stock wasn’t sold to someone else. But as soon as it’s sold, he would get hit with capital gains, so the whole tax on this doesn’t make sense and it’s a lot harder of a problem to solve than just saying “make them pay tax”
It’s not about them having more it’s about us having less. The billionaire class depends on the labour of the lower classes for their money so they need to keep us on a yoke to sustain it.
No war but class war.
It’s a mental disorder the same as a hoarder. It makes zero sense to have even above 10 million and still work.
Everyone’s goal is to work to save money to retire.
You have a mental problem if you have ridiculous amounts of money and still put in the grind.
Couldnt be me, i have a conscience…
Imagine you paid $30B in taxes while the bottom half of America pays zero taxes and constantly complains about you not paying your “fair share”.
If you don’t understand the concept of opportunity cost, that’s fine, but there’s no need to publicise it
I mean yeah that is nothing to complain about but losing $30T in one sitting still hurts a lot.
