No, but the company that powers the servers they run on does.
And somehow a bunch of hicks in the boonies relate to these fucks when their ancestors used to run moonshine in fast cars around law enforcement. What happened?
when their ancestors fought against the same companies they’re deep-throating the boots of
Haha, very funny Genocide Joe, very funny
Nice try, Dimitri.
“Of course I don’t, thanks to YOUR policies”
“Oh so you want to punish people that work hard to make a big salary, just for the sake of lazy burger flippers?”
“You make less than $400k, does that mean you’re lazy?”
:(
But one day I might be a billionaire and when that happens, I don’t want to pay taxes.
Leela: Why are you cheering, Fry? You’re not rich!
Fry: True, but someday I might be rich. And then people like me better watch their step.
god will make me a trillionare because my pastor has a corporate jet. I don’t want any of my god dollars to go the gubmint.
That’s not entirely true. Everyone is affected by Biden’s tax plan.
Yes, you’ll pay more in taxes if you make more than 400k, even more if you’re a corporation, billionaire, investment fund manager, use gift tax loopholes in trusts, or manipulate life insurance loopholes.
If you’re part of the working class, you’ll be paying lower taxes, earning increased child or low-income housing tax credits, as well as earned income credit.
What about retired people?
Retired people are generally working class too. Unless the person owns/owned a large corporation, that is.
Sure but they get their money the same way the rich do, via capital gains.
Not necessarily. Social Security is taxable income. About 40% of people who collect it make enough to have to pay taxes on it.
Capitalism forces even the unwilling to participate. It’s a matter of fact that the only way to afford a retirement in the last 50 years as a worker is to invest in private capital. I already want to see the total annihilation of coerced labor, I don’t want to work for my entire life.
What government or economic system doesn’t do that? Even if the system is fully autonomous and opt in, it implicitly obligates interaction if it is enforced by any means (or the use of another system is prohibited)
That would be in lieu of income taxes, yes. Also doesn’t apply for ss or pensions.
Doesn’t that make them not retired?
I cannot functionally tell the difference from doing 2 hours of work at a Hampton vacation home and being retired. So I would say “not necessarily”.
It’s a dollar amount in America though.
That’s my point. A billionaire owner can be functionally retired while still being “employed”. A worker who’s 65 years old cannot.
If you’re retired, you still pay taxes on Social Security and several forms of retirement accounts. That income would put you in the same category as the “working class.”
The plan is closing the Medicare tax loophole for $400k+ earners. I didn’t mention it because it’s an additional tax on the first category mentioned in both the meme and my comment.
These heroes protecting the billionaires. If we don’t help the billionaires horde all of the money, who will?
We have taught kids to kill dragons not reduce thier taxes.
Honestly, reminding them they’re too poor to be affected probably isn’t the best way to make a convincing argument.
Then again, that presumes good faith, and redcaps wouldn’t know good faith if it burned them when their skin was exposed to it like a vampire.
These people would rather die than have what’s good for them. I really wish we could just let them die and then move on with what’s good for the rest of us.
I don’t care if they admit they’re wrong. As long as they go away forever. I would literally pay it to see that.
Not that this will be mentioned in any of the media they consume. They’ll be lied to and they’ll believe it because they don’t fact-check their “leaders.”
When I eventually make over 400k, I will be so mad about this!
“I’m mad on behalf of the people who make over $400k a year that I idolize!”
Its not that they think they’ll be affected. Its that they believe the market is “fair”, and therefore rich people must have “earned it”, and taxes are an unfair punishment.
Of course the reality is that the market is only ever fair when it approaches equilibrium, which is typically achieved through taxes…
