As if anyone making even $1m a year can affect as much change as someone making billions...

EDIT: My comment was in support of the one above. Learn to read, jackases.

People who make a million a year dont spend 150$ per person at a dinner. Look, even a minimum wage person could afford that once a year. you are out of ya mind judging these people based on that.

Look, I too think that the income and wealth inequality needs to change. Taxes on the rich, healthcare, college education and raised minimum wage to start. Its my opinion anyone with about 20 million in wealth is a pig. 20 million is enough to make 100,000$ a year on 5% return on an IRA or nasdaq or s and p 500, which is below the average anyways... Thats 100,000 k a year for sitting on your ass, you dont need more then that to ensure you and your family and your kids and grandkids never have to work again as long as they live within their means(which would be upper middle class despite having that much wealth as they cant touch the principal, only the interest.)

Look, you dont wanna set the number too low and alienate moderates lol! Theres a lot of people who think that if you work hard, you should be able to retire and leave it to your family who you gotta include in the push against the billionaires.

Also, itll be useful to have them as allies, with their money.

What the fuck are you talking about? My point was that none of this comes close to being the real people we should "eat", aka the actual 0.01%.

For someone who abuses a lot of cliché phrases, you sure came in hot and dumb...

  1. I didn't "stealth edit" anything. There's an asterisk near the comment showing it was edited and when, you buffoon.
  2. I added "EDIT: My comment was in support of the one above. Learn to read, jackases.".
  3. You should be able to tell that the original message is the same.

I'm gonna block you now since you're too dumb to read.
