re: The Elon trillionaire news is going about as you would expect among marxists

Everyone else had the same opportunities to become a trillionaire as Elon Musk did. He put in the work, they didn’t.

From now on, I’ll be sure to correct them if they ever call him a billionaire just to push their buttons.

Dumbass first says:
"Trickle down doesn't work!!!! Wealth gap!!!! Poor people n' shite!!!!

Dumbass then counters with:

He said I was at the bottom of the trickle-down. My salary puts me in the top 5%.

---

And

quote:

---

Nearly 20 million W2 Americans make over 200K

---

You can't make this shite up!


By the way.. let the schedule C, K-1, and people who know what a employment tax deposit is worry about the economy. You just keep hammering away for the boss.

Do you want to compare W2s?

So if you believe there is a wage gap, and you are ballin at $350K plus, how much of that do you give back to the US Treasury, on top of taxes owed, to help with that wage gap that gnaws at you?

Or are you like other Democrats, you want that to happen with someone else's money?

So beautiful. I’d imagine this little pathetic flex will be brought up every time you post something dumb. Which is often. I mean…you thought the amount of money available is finite. Back to your cubicle.

So let me get to see if I understand your point.

I get insulted and called "broke"-I offer to prove I'm not, yet I'm the one causing the issue.

That's some interesting logic

I see your mistake.

You are conflating households with individuals.

Around 23 million households earn that much. The number of individuals who make $200K is much smaller.

The same as your top 5% claim. To be in the top 5% of households, one only needs to make $170K. That is probably closer to what you make and think that is in the top 5% of individual wage earners, but it's not close.

No....no you do not

I never said I was balling.

I can work 1000 years at my current pay and not come close to being as rich as the people we are discussing.

I don't think we should take anything from anyone--but I definitely do not think we should be subsidizing their industries with our tax money.

Many on here used to call Elon a welfare queen until he switched sides this year.

You are being insulted because you claimed rhe middle class was gutted by "trickle down"....... annnnnnnd then subsequently destroyed your own claim because your ego was bruised.

---

That's the difference I notice between the left and right — just because I am doing ok doesn't mean I remove myself from the other 90% of Americans who are struggling day to day.

The average American can not afford the average home in America. That is a problem.

tripling down on “let’s compare W-2s.” Thank you so much for the laughs this am.


You thought money is finite. That’s even sadder that your pathetic flex attempt.
