@tbbucs94 @X_Grace_G It’s possible but not guaranteed seeing how much taxes you have to pay and average home is 850K

@pyroniusburn @avg_artist13546 Sounds like I’d be a multi-millionaire if I just design a window unit that can fit an English window.
English
@avg_artist13546 No. 99% of the windows built in the UK would not fit a normal window unit.

British people when the weather goes above 25°C.

@DeAngel21069970 @X_Grace_G Being a millionaire is about your Net Worth, not your yearly income. Someone taking home $750K/year is most-likely a millionaire.

@X_Grace_G if you’re a millionaire in NYC you’re not really a millionaire 😂

@ScarQarly @xAviation It doesn’t. when the 3rd party view shows the plane turn left, the inside view still shows the plane oriented towards the right
English
@tbbucs94 @xAviation How do you explain everything in the two videos matching then?

Since its upload in 2017, the viral Emirates A380 crosswind landing filmed by CargoSpotter has later been complemented by footage recorded by a passenger onboard the very same flight!
While the outside angle clearly shows the aircraft's swinging movements, rudder inputs and continuous crosswind corrections, the cabin view demonstrates how differently the same landing is experienced from inside the aircraft.

@applefiles_ please don’t act like Apple Maps is good. It once told me to take a left across traffic and go to the next light and do a U-turn, rather than just taking a right.

@OHWildBill @jim_jimp0808 @MichaelVitaleJr @tzlim10 @stoolgambling I just looked into it and apparently the Bear and C were “co-primary” logos until 2023 when they made the bear the primary and C the secondary. Makes no sense to me but technically that answer counts lol
English
@tbbucs94 @jim_jimp0808 @MichaelVitaleJr @tzlim10 @stoolgambling Could be. I just googled “NFL logos” and it showed the bear.
English
Can you name the five NFL teams that don't have the team logo on their helmet ?
English
@OHWildBill @jim_jimp0808 @MichaelVitaleJr @tzlim10 @stoolgambling I thought that Bears logo is actually the secondary logo, and the main logo is the C that’s on the helmet.

@TxTSaint @SpendspaceIO @SteveOnSpeed @Heccles94 capital gains taxes because he doesn’t sell. He uses his assets as collateral to take out loans at lower interest rates. So if he doesn’t have to sell, he never has to pay taxes on the appreciation. Meanwhile, I pay taxes on my earnings and stock appreciation (2/2).
English
@TxTSaint @SpendspaceIO @SteveOnSpeed @Heccles94 He started and developed a business into 127B in value, which you say is not earnings. Fine.
However, when I purchase stocks, I do so with post-tax earnings, and then pay capital gains when I sell. Or if 401K, I pay ordinary rates when I withdraw.
Bezos barely even pays.. (1/2)
English
We don’t want to not pay taxes. We just want Bezos and his friends to pay theirs.

BEZOS SAYS BOTTOM HALF OF WORKERS SHOULD PAY ZERO TAXES
English
@MaaneeGaming @joecarlsonshow Again, who cares in pure dollar terms how much they’re paying if the average person is more burdened by taxes? If you refuse to acknowledge the individual burden, then you’re the one who still doesn’t understand the situation.
English
@tbbucs94 @joecarlsonshow Just goes to show you still don't understand what the situation is. Whether it's 9% or 0.0009%, the ultra wealthy, top 1%, are paying 40% of the total taxes.
English
This is being viewed as a benevolent billionaire when in reality he’s saying the bottom 50% already pay so little in taxes it’s basically irrelevant.
Watcher.Guru@WatcherGuru
JUST IN: 🇺🇸 Billionaire Jeff Bezos says the bottom half of US workers should pay zero income tax.
English
@x0dros @lxiv___ @yannispappas The heart of the issue is effective tax rate burden. Nothing to do with total nominal dollars paid.
English
@lxiv___ @yannispappas This is not about tax rates. This is about tax revenue — how much money you collect. And top 1% pays 40% of taxes in the us while in Sweden 12%. Top 10% pays for 70% while in Sweden up to 40%. Sweden, a Scandinavian country, is closer to flat taxation than the us.
English
Believe it or not, almost all progressives don’t even know this. Why? Because it’s boring.
Jeff Bezos@JeffBezos
Yes, the United States has the most progressive tax system in the world. The top 1% pay 40% of taxes, the bottom 50% pay 3% of taxes. We can make it even more progressive by zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. It’s a small amount of the total tax revenue but very meaningful to people in this group.
English
@TxTSaint @SpendspaceIO @SteveOnSpeed @Heccles94 It in fact does mean he made 127B. Thats how net worth increases. Capital gains rates are already favorable, but people like bezos generally fund their lifestyle from loans using stock as collateral to avoid even paying capital gains. Then when they die it’s a step up basis.
English
@SpendspaceIO @SteveOnSpeed @Heccles94 Being worth 127 billion doesnt mean you have made 127 billion. So he paid taxes on his income of 6 billion. Great
English
@SteveOnSpeed @Heccles94 Pointing to the total taxes paid or marginal rates just distracts from the fact that regular people pay a much higher EFFECTIVE tax rate than the ultra-wealthy. The issue lies in comparative tax burden.
English
@Safemoonflight @Heccles94 You can still pay taxes and get a refund check, buddy. It’s about how much you paid IN EXCESS of taxes owed that dictates the refund. Not that you don’t pay taxes at all.
English
@MaaneeGaming @joecarlsonshow Idk where you got that 9% figure from, but it’s way less
English
@tbbucs94 @joecarlsonshow Yep, the ultra wealthy pay 9% whereas joe blow pays 10%. It just happens that 9% of billions and millions is much more impactful than the 10% of tens of thousands. It'd be more helpful to say we have a spending problem than say the rich aren't paying enough.
