LIQUIDATE MUSK (financially, in Minecraft)
Spoiler: the top 1% are the real thugs
They push this narrative hard. My friend absolutely believes all his issues in life are because of the poors.
Just remember that we could all have our social security if the top 1% paid a fractionof the taxes they used to.
Social security, Healthcare, maternal leave, paid vacations,cross country high speed rail etc etc etc
Remember if they hadn’t understated the inflation rate several times since the 70s social security checks would be enough to retire comfortably on, as jobs used to be enough to live comfortably on. Well over double by the old unimproved formula, that averaged 5-8 percent just by 2008, while the new formula returned 2-3%.
if the top 1% paid a fractionof the taxes they used to.
Could you give an example of a year in which the top 1% paid enough taxes to satisfy this condition?
To support around a 1% shortfall in fica, fica is about .5% of all income (feel free to fact check, I guessed a bit), 1950 fits the bill for their actual paid percentage of 41% vs their statutory 89%.
Edit: it’d be interesting to know how much of a fica shortfall 4% taxes on the 1% would cover. Somewhere in the range of 50-150% is my guess. Seems more than the projected shortfalls. Now, if they got taxed at 91% for real, noone else would have to pay [much] income tax, and they could raise fica on the rest of us without objection.
These people genuinely want that 10% dead. They want them to not exist.
That just moves the “problem” closer to them.
Anyone still on twitter is a piece of shit.
If only Elon could do something to get out of the top 10% of wealth holders…
It will remain a mystery.
Pinkerton mindset. These people are enemies to their fellow workers.
(Elon can get fucked as a matter of course/for being a capitalist shithead)
I am pretty sure Elon has severe mental challenges. He’s a lot dumber than people give him credit for, and the doge was him being a figurehead for thiel and yarvin and their faction.
He does a lot of drugs. People complain about the poor doing drugs, but the rich and ultra rich do them too.
But like, Elon does a LOT of drugs.
Honestly we need to stop demonizing drugs the way we do.
Yeah you shouldn’t dose and drive. Yeah if you become an addict you should have free help. There should be clean, pure manufactured substances. You should have to take a safety class and have a license. It should be taxed. You should be protected against your employer unless you are high on the clock, or do a job that holds many people’s fate in their hands (pilots, etc).
Right now it’s just something for the cops to plant to manufacture consent for otherwise illegal searches, or it’s a way to try and exterminate the bottom 10% through adulterated black market substances and untreated addiction.
We are absolutely cruel about drug use, even most “woke leftists”.
EDIT: I got soap boxy and I almost forgot to add “Ayo fuck Elon though”. That motherfucker probably set ketamine research back 2 decades
What does that even mean?
Probably something like they’re Hard Workers™©® who have to
notpay taxes that feed the “lazy parasite poors”It also means: I’m letting you know that I’m an awful piece of shit.
He’s whining about having to pay a tiny fraction of a fraction of his wealth to support “the poors”.
It’s hard for the top 1% to feel good about themselves on account of their clear status as society’s leaches (except they’re not vital parts of the ecosystem like real leeches are).
In order to get around these Hard Feelings they have to step into a fantasy narrative where they aren’t necessarily bad, certainly not harmful, maybe it’s the rest of the world that’s bad come to think of it, maybe they really did earn this, finders keepers right? Who says there is any objective reality to right and wrong? It’s all optics right? Why should the golden rule apply to everyone?!
Atlas Shrugged absolutely melted the brains of future generations of fail sons.
Ayn Rand wrote those books on a meth binge. She went broke later in life and would’ve been destitute if not for her social security and medicare.
Ayn Rand wrote those books on a meth binge.
Huh, didn’t know about that part.
God how I would love to see a homeless person whipping elon musk.
Can we just launch him to Mars already?
Absolutely. No need for a lander stage, he can decelerate himself by his own bootstraps.
Those people have zero power politically or economically so I have no idea how they are holding anything back, by definition, conservatism is what is holding us back. I suppose all of that, though, depends on what your vision of the future looks like. I want a vibrant, lively, celebratory, affirming, prosperous future for every human being. Idk how that is somehow controversial today but here we are.
Today I learned that the USA used to have a 91% cap on income tax and 71% on property tax. That was in the 50’s, under Eisenhower.
i will open a bottle of champagne whenever elon bites the dust. Im glad all his wealth will mean nothing in the end.
