Billionaires don’t become (or stay) billionaires by spending their own money.
Difference between hoarding and surviving. And how you define either.
No, he needs your money, otherwise he has to spend his money on what he wants, and that would mean he would have less money. It’s always easier using other people’s money.
Is there not a saying about this, I forget the direct one…
How would you push back against these, I know many working class people are born hearing them, as well as people starting their own businesses…
Here are some similar ones though:
“Never use your own money when you can spend someone else’s.”
— Ken Follett
Kenneth Martin Follett, is a Welsh author of thrillers and historical novels who has sold more than 160 million copies of his works.
[Picture below says: ‘First Rule of Money: Never use your own.’]
that’s nice and all, but if you have more than 10 million i feel that doesn’t make sense any more.
What if you want a jet that costs 20 million? Think about it bro
Bro, my jet cost 21 million. The bathroom has a digital laser guided dick length measurement system.
That may be true, but that is the logic that is pushed on us since our birth as well as by the ‘job creators’.
It seems to be the norm or also known as the status quo thinking, so that we may achieve the ‘American dream’.
The tankies will argue that evolution favors collectivism but that ignores chiefs and kings.
Communism vs Feudalism vs. indigenous leaders (chieftains) vs Monoarchy vs. Oligarchy
Chieftains would be closer to a commune, but they would have a set of chiefs that form ‘a tribal chiefs’ council.’

Youre thinking of social Darwinism, not evolution.
Its not just tankie who ignore them. Its also anyone who knows anything about evolution, as things like chiefs and kings only started happening a blink of an eye ago (in evolutionary terms) we can ignore things like chiefs and kings completely.
However, our collectivism, mutual aid and cooperation is what set us so far apart from our competitors.
Of course workshy scroungers, who live off of other people’s hard work, will only want to spend other peoples money.
Ask them how they feel about poor people doing the exact same thing with government money and you’ll soon find out that they were just bullshitting you to justify their greed and exploitation all along.
but their money isn’t all liquid !!1!2 it’s simply not that simple
“My billions are on the paper I got sent to court for lying about! I need your money!”
They do not need it but they want it for sure
Four members of the richest British family, worth £37bn, have just gotten prison sentences for paying 1/10th the minimum wage to their servants. Paying them a legal wage would’ve kept them out of prison and been like you or me dropping a penny into a charity box, but they wouldn’t do it, even for people that they saw every day. Billionaires are sociopaths.
It’s so easy for billionaires to buy popularity. All they have to do is act normally and not be the greediest person on the planet. But people likely to act that way are also less likely to be billionaires, it seems.
If I were a billionaire, why wouldn’t I pay my staff double the market rate, tip $100 to every server at every restaurant I go to, and donate money to charity like crazy? It’d ensure that I’m well-liked everywhere I go and the cost would be chump change to me.
My theory is that all potential billionaires who are not greedy have already donated a lot of their wealth or something
I think it also ties into the billionaires-are-sociopaths theory
Counting loans collateralized on capital assets as income, either all the time or at a loan interest rate below federal interest rates (IE, not going to beat inflation and therefore throwing money away)
There’d be exceptions for stuff like a primary home mortgage or primary car auto-loan, but this sneaky sneaky shit they try to pull where they get to just have unlimited money without ever paying the toll for “making” that much needs to be closed off.
It’s beyond shameless.
Oh my god, that’s real.
Major time cube vibes to that site
You mean Pizzagate
I feel like there should be some flaming text on that page. I’m definitely getting late '90s vibes from it.
Edit: Not so much on desktop. Mobile is just the left portion, full-screen.
i feel dirty now. i might have to delete my browser and throw away my rams, graphics card and HDD; scrubbing my display is next.
Yep. Kill it with fire is the only option now.
Gross
Where’s the button to elect ‘crooked joe’? They gave the option but no button. I was hopin I could get money back as compensation for having to have endured that website existing.
I hope if you donate on that page, kids in India get to eat.
He’s a broke bitch.
Oh, but the super wealthy ALWAYS need, “a little bit more”. They are super willing to kick you in a ditch for a nickle.
It’s so much more logical coming from spock
We live in Ferenginar … not Vulcan
The “billionairre” “needs” your money in order for the “billionairre” to “have more money.” QED
