Not after that you wouldn't be. LMAO. So what are you gonna do when there are no more rich people?

Yeah he would. Even if taxes worked the way you think they work, he'd still be making 3m a year (in reality he'd be making more than that due to some of his money being taxed at lower rates). At $3m/year his net pay would be significantly above the gross pay of most Americans. So, clearly, he'd still be rich.


I know exactly how taxes work. And that doesn't even account for other taxes like state income, capital gains, SS, medicare, or other things the so-called rich pay out the ass for. But I do like how you continue to dodge the question that no Marxist in the history of the world has been able to answer. What happens when there are no more rich people???

Businesses aren't taxed on the profits they make if they reinvest it back into the business meaning creating more jobs and production. Most banks don't even insure more than $250k. Most rich people have their captial in assets, stocks, and businesses. Only a very small portion of their wealth is liquid.


If anything you're only explaining why a super high tax rate would be fruitless on the government's end in addition to all the lost jobs and GDP growth.

That's a stupid question. There will still be rich people.


Nope and nope. Stop trying to cop out. You can't just rob someone of 91% of their money and expect them to invest more of it. There would be literally no point.


Then why was our economy so good during that era?


Because the rest of the world was focused on rebuilding after WWII while the U.S. came out basically the last man standing. We succeeded in spite of the taxes, not because of them.

What? If I was making $10 million a year I wouldn't care. I'm already rich...


Not after that you wouldn't be. LMAO. So what are you gonna do when there are no more rich people?


Learn to save your money. Buy a house for like $500,000. Pay off your other debts. That's what these rich people should do. If I was some big named celeb I'd right now keep only $5 million in my bank account to live off of then whatever else income I made I'd give it all away. Sadly many people that obtain wealth don't do this. A rich person making $10 million shouldn't fucking need 10 lambos or something. Buy 2 cars and that's it. Spread the fucking money.


I think this post is the best example of why American people don't want people like you in charge.


I was referring to if someone wanted to be lazy with their money. Otherwise you can still make over $10 million a year and pay high taxes while helping out the economy by owning or starting new businesses. People act as if it's gonna ruin our economy so poor people won't want to work.


It's not that poor people won't want to work, although that is true, it's that rich people won't want to create jobs and businesses. You didn't answer my question. What happens when there are no more rich people?

When it was that Richard Spencer guy who was a proven white supremacist I was OK with it. I was also OK with the guy who punched him getting charged for assault because it's obviously against the law to attack people.

But it's gotten to the point where people are beating up random people just because they "look" racist, and that's going too far. So yeah, it's time to dial that shit back.


Like I said before, the "why" is the real problem. Aside from the fact that violence doesn't solve problems of speech, it's necessary to protect the rights of speech even from racist scumbags to protect the rights of speech of everyone else. You can't just have people drawing arbitrary lines in the sand because inevitably you will find yourself standing on the other side.

I had this idea where hell is not actually a torture world, but actually a big sort of nightclub where people can do anything they want without consequence, kind of like The Purge. Drugs, stealing, murder, rape, pretty much anything would be on the table. This would serve two purposes: one is that it corrupts your soul by conditioning you to do evil acts if it wasn't already beyond saving, and two it earns your loyalty to the devil. He'll keep things running and look the other way as long as you do what he wants, and if you don't, he takes all that away and puts you in the "real" hell where all sorts of nightmarish stuff happens.I'm not sure if there's any media that has this depiction, but I think it's kind of a neat take.

Side note, it's pretty interesting that "purgatory" and "The Purge" share the same word.

If you tell people that you donated to charity, it becomes a political act. You're not investing in helping people. You're investing in your public image.

Nobody's against helping the poor. But when you do it to be seen, then it becomes a different action altogether.

you realize that what the left is about. not actually caring or helping. But boosting their own public image.


It's not so much about "boosting" anything than it is about tearing other people down.

"He got #MeToo'd" is usually used in reference to fraudulent or ambiguous allegations that ruin a person's life/career based on nothing but a woman's word. It doesn't imply guilt automatically, so it's not a direct alternative to "she got raped" as the TC seems to think it is.

Which, nevertheless, is indicative in its own right. #metoo was never about naming perpetrators in the first place, it was about women speaking up to shed light on how common sexual harassment (and worse) is. The accusing of famous men might have been inspired by the #metoo movement, but it was not the movement's purpose. So using a movement that was about giving women a voice to describe perceived Injustice towards men is indicative of something awry, yeah


No, #metoo was always about equating forcible rape with "an old guy called me sweetie one time" using vague unprovable generalizations. It's just another cultish feminist tactic to inflate the numbers to what they desire, similar to the "1 in 3 college women are raped" statistic that's also complete bullshit.

It is though. More importantly it shows you the work that goes into filmmaking as an art and craft. And rather than try to ripoff the audio outtakes at the end, he gives an overhead perspective of the movie itself. There's no video where you won't learn something about movies or film.

Also I was about to ask if you were talking about spinoffs or knock-offs. Because Music Video Sins and TV Sins also exist and they're done by the same guys.
