Rant: I hate Rich People
- Thread starter Dankface
- Start date
people need to start distinguishing between self-made rich and ill-gotten rich. There's a great book called Free Lunch about politicians, companies and other 'distinguished' types that have used the political system for their gain. These favors, handouts, tax breaks, and other policy-makings divert huge amounts of taxpayer money into the pockets of certain few.
Overall this money is taken away from schools, roads, etc - Its really fucked up and you can't compare these scumbags to anybody who makes money with sales. No matter how useless your product or how shady the marketing- the customer opted in.
But taxes are something you have to pay. you also pay for it when your city can't afford proper maintenance, can't build parks, doesnt have enough resources, etc. State and city budgets get strained when so many millions of dollars are diverted to individuals, groups, and companies.
The common good suffers when the percentage of wealth keeps going to a concentrated few, and when money is diverted from taxes, or via taxbreaks, to individuals who are friends of policy makers. There have been many that have exploited the public treasury.
the obvious and clear divide to ultra-rich and growing-poor in america doesn't really help your average entrepreneur in the long run. the less money middle America and the poor have at their disposal, the less they have to spend on our stupid shit. No matter how stupid the shit- marketers and entrepreneurs are at the mercy of policy makers and those truly in power.
Its not just taxes, its job loss and foreclosures. Massive fucking banks and people who shape policy make changes that have sweeping effects, then the country gets fucked and everyone but the super-wealthy suffers.
btw i didnt even read the op. yeah I blame Bush.

That's right! Why don't you stop complaining. Money still will not fall from the sky if you can do is just complain. Look at you, whether you've really tried to be living better? If you're poor and unable to pay for school, you can try to get a scholarship. There are many scholarships out there that offer. You just have to learn a little harder. Shouldn't only be blamed on fate that makes you a person poor.
Come on, there are many people out there who are much less fortunate than yourself. Millions of people die of starvation in Africa. Don't you know that? So stop complaining and keep trying.
If you make 100k/yr your rich... ? You must be a teenager, I thought that too when I was your age.
It depends on how old you are Zingo. Inflation is so fucking crazy you probably were rich back then with 100k/year.
Was pretty sure you were trollin' and positive you were after reading that statement.
On the off chance the above wall of text was serious: YOU are the problem. Once you own up to the stoopid mistake you made, you're on the road to fixing it.
Poor? Broke?
There's windows that need washing. Burgers need flipping. Ditches need digging. Go get to work and make enough to learn how to make the monies online.
TROLLING AT ITS FINEST.
durr, the guy making 100k, durr, paid close to $40-$50k in taxes, hurr, durr, hurr, that money goes to welfare and other social programs, durr durr durr durr, if you arent getting a dime that means you aren't poor enough or your government isnt cutting you in durr durr, so the $100k guy paid his dues, durr durr durr durr durr um what could be the problem?
Oh yeah, the government and every overpaid $50k earning administrative assistant at each department that takes their cut until the money doesnt get to you. That's the problem and that's why you dont get shit unless you are flat out broke.
Get a Clue Morans.
