that is very basic

2019-01-18 07:03:05 UTC  

the point is that the ultra wealthy have an exorbitant about of wealth

2019-01-18 07:03:15 UTC  

to where it is actually destabalizing

2019-01-18 07:03:28 UTC  

ergo if they are taxed higher they are still rich comparatively and everyone benefits

2019-01-18 07:03:31 UTC  

those reasons are what they will use to gain sympathy for higher taxes

2019-01-18 07:03:31 UTC  

@Misomania true man its a paradox

2019-01-18 07:03:35 UTC  

however, how you spend that money is a different subject

2019-01-18 07:03:43 UTC  

I mostly care that the rich usually use a lot of loop jokes

2019-01-18 07:03:57 UTC  

because once the ultra rich can't be blamed, then they will find another reason to raise taxes on someone

2019-01-18 07:04:04 UTC  

how so

2019-01-18 07:04:16 UTC  

Though I’m certain that the amount of money a billionaire has is probably less fluid then we normally believe

2019-01-18 07:04:17 UTC  

there is always a scapegoat

2019-01-18 07:04:25 UTC  

@EndangeredProdigy they dont stop with the Romanoves eh?

2019-01-18 07:04:28 UTC  

why the hell are random channels added to my twitch following list?

2019-01-18 07:04:59 UTC  

that's like when I get auto-follows for facebook people

2019-01-18 07:05:03 UTC  

no one has been logging into my account and nothing is linked to it

2019-01-18 07:05:05 UTC  

finding random shit on my feed

2019-01-18 07:05:16 UTC  

only to learn I've been automatically subbed to some fucker

2019-01-18 07:05:25 UTC  

i'm just kinda shocked that right leaning people tend to be mostly poor or hard-working americans, but they defend the ultra wealthy who tend to get their money through exploitation and manipulation

2019-01-18 07:05:41 UTC  

at the same time, the rich on the left secretly want to spend less on taxes

2019-01-18 07:05:43 UTC  

I think it's more that they just hate government more

2019-01-18 07:05:53 UTC  

but they defend the ultra rich

2019-01-18 07:05:54 UTC  

Everyone wants to be rich and thinks they will be at somepoint

2019-01-18 07:05:59 UTC  

^

2019-01-18 07:06:07 UTC  

this comes down to the lottery fallacy

2019-01-18 07:06:18 UTC  

maybe if I spend a dollar a day on the lottery I'll be super rich

2019-01-18 07:06:22 UTC  

Doesnt matter if its a fallacy or not, people believe it

2019-01-18 07:06:26 UTC  

hey, we should all spend money at the lottery

2019-01-18 07:06:33 UTC  

it's not that hard to make a lot of money

2019-01-18 07:06:36 UTC  

actually that is the point of it being a fallacy

2019-01-18 07:06:40 UTC  

holy fuck

2019-01-18 07:06:42 UTC  

you just have to be willing to put in the work

2019-01-18 07:06:42 UTC  

did you just say

2019-01-18 07:06:46 UTC  

I think of it as an extreme version of the american dream

2019-01-18 07:06:47 UTC  

it is not hard to become a rich person

2019-01-18 07:06:50 UTC  

it's not

2019-01-18 07:06:51 UTC  

did you just say that

2019-01-18 07:06:52 UTC  

yes

2019-01-18 07:07:00 UTC  

i officially disregard your opinions

2019-01-18 07:07:03 UTC

2019-01-18 07:07:09 UTC
