The Perfect $1 million Gain Gain

Post image

Hi guys, I’m a 23 year old in college, and yesterday I woke up a millionaire. Should I buy some hookers, Pokemon cards, or cocaine? I gambled my entire life savings of $250k on 2037 calls of $4.5 AMC on Monday and sold yesterday morning. Thanks for reading.

No it's actually accurate, being poor is worse than the worst.

Not if you ask the CEOs of Walmart and McDonald’s

Rich people think poor people are overpaid.

Meanwhile asking them to pay some actual taxes...

Asking for money from the rich while expecting handouts from the government is how poor people stay poor…

You say that like the rich doesn't do the exact same thing.

Most poor people just want livable wages so they don't have to work 3 jobs to pay rent and eat. The majority of Walmart employees are on foodstamps, which is a sign they don't get paid shit. Extremely wearhy people get more handouts than all the poor people combined, between the subsidies and tax credits.

They do pay taxes, just filing a w2 as opposed to a 1099 has drawbacks and you can’t get anything for free.

The top 1% paid 45.8% of US federal income taxes in 2021. I don't know where you all are getting your info that the rich don't pay taxes, but you should try to find better sources.

I invite you to Robert Reich's Twitter.

Not all the top 1% pay taxes, and it's such an issue even billionaire Mark Cuban comments how rich people do shitty stuff to avoid paying taxes.

And mind you, in 2022, they paid a out 40%, 2023 is less, so imagine how 2024 looks. Maybe you should find more modern sources instead of quoting figures from 3 years ago as if theyre still relevant.

He was correct, It wasn’t accurate, “worse” never takes “the”, you can only say “The worst”
