This is true. I wake up at 4:30 AM for work and then go to sleep at 11 PM sometimes depending how busy the day is. Im broke as hell, I barely spend my money, and my life is hell. Only reason Im alive is because drugs made life easier to live within this kind of hell when I used to take psychedelics except I have taken the cost of sanity to survive.

Threadly reminder that there are only 500 billionaires in all of the USA and most of them have close to only 1 billion dollars.
There are millions of millionaires so they collectively have orders of magnitude more wealth.
The fixation on billionaires is pure jealousy, you could completely ignore them and still fix wealth inequality for almost 100% of Americans.
The reason you can't afford a house is not because two guys can afford to have space companies.

you mention there are millions of millionaires, but that is disingenuous. The wealth category we are talking about is people with 50m or more. People who can live entirely off investments aka other peoples work. You can't lump in regular people that got lucky and their house they bought in 1970 sold for 2m in 2025. They try to make this argument all the time, but it doesn't apply.

When we say "eat the rich" we aren't talking about people who bought a house and got lucky. We are talking about people like Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, and others who got rich by exploiting and harming our societies and taking tons of government handouts. We are talking about ending tax breaks for corporations and corporate welfare. Etc.

I do believe the distinction should be something like "liquid millionaires" but if that caught ont he rich who have millions just sitting in the bank (rather than tied up in the value of their home and vehicles) would just convert their liquid assets to physical goods.
Those that don't already do so for tax purposes at least.

23.8 million millionaires in the US, even if you assume they have 1 million average (it's much higher) ignoring the outliers it's much more (23.8 trilliion dollars) than 500 people with close to a billion (which is actually true), also ignoring outliers (500 billion dollars). If this is a "math" problem then show your work, tell me how I'm wrong.

Thread didn't say eat the rich, it said billionaires. You also act like complaining about billionaires and phrases like "billionaires shouldn't exist" aren't common, it's disingenuous.
How many people that spout "eat the rich" have been misled to believing that billionaires are a significant problem and will eat up anything about taxing them, like taxing 500 people is going to even put a dent in the budget?
Do you have a problem with people being educated about this?

It's true. I think the hard part of letting go of muh free market ideology is that you give up that epic of meritocracy where you feel like you have more agency and advantage over others and support a system that can, at it's most rightwing, create a hierarchy where white males are preferred, but then it's not meritocracy. The noble lie of meritocracy is for the plebs and slaves so they don't ask for better treatment or hold you to account for things you control and they don't.

I think at their core, most rightwingers know it's a lie, but some centrists genuinely believe in it for a mix of it being the path of least resistance and because opening up to anything vaguely marxist means you start validating power imbalances that mostly don't benefit you and it actually takes more work to be a pro-labor, economic class focused voter. Anyone can say "diversity is our strength" and support gayshit, you can argue and purple prose all day about those, but the substance and implementation of economic policy is hard to put together, communicate, and push through with all the money and establishment power pushing against you, distractions related to social issues bombarding you from every side, from every corner.

23.8 trillion is 2 orders of magnitude greater than 500 billion. That's what an order of magnitude is, a power of 10. If we counted all the outliers for billionaires and used the actual average amount of money millionaires have and counted the outliers for billionaires, millionaires would likely increase by 2-3 orders of magnitude while billionaires would increase only by 1.
>>513874877
Comparing someone's accumulated wealth to the GDP of a nation is not a good way to compare how much of that country's wealth they hold. Wealth is accumulated over time, GDP is yearly.
>>513875386
Yes, if you call someone a billionaire then 1 billion dollars is the lowest amount of money they can possibly have, in this context it is "only" a billion. Point being there are very few people who break through and qualify as billionaires at all.

I gave a rough estimate of the low end for both, I have now given a rough estimate of the high end. The absolute worst case scenario is that millionaires have only one order of magnitude greater wealth than billionaires, which is incredibly unlikely.
If you have a better estimate that shows millionaires are unlikely to have orders of magnitude greater wealth, then show it.

Yes, billionaires are bad because of the amount of influence they exert over politics, my only problem is this attitude that increasing the amount of taxation on billionaires is going to fix anything.

1.) Not counting the outliers is stupid because bezos, zuckerberg, elon, and the rothschilds all exist in reality. We are talking about reality not dumb statistics.

2.) taxxing them extremely heavily would benefit literally everybody except them, as using their wealth we could have more public services. Maybe Americans could even get healthcare.

3.) Millionaires should ALSO be taxxed much more heavily.

The tax on billionaires and stronger regulations for campaign donations reduces their influence on politics. The money you have, the more you can comfortably spend controlling politics and media. Reducing the amount they have to spend and regulating what they do spend and when they spend, reduces that control or options for control and creates a better environment for the interests of the people, workers, and consumers to be better represented.

Because he doesn't want to talk about the .01 percent. He's trying to frame this as people who worked hard and made it big rather than than admit the people with the kind of money we are talking about scammed it via theft and aggressive monopoly practices (Bill Gates), via Gov't Funding and incentives that were lobbied for (Elon Musk), financial fraud (Jaime Dimon) and a host of others methods that vary in legality.

The myth is that these people are job creators and the rest of us are too stupid to run these operations. The funny part is that many of us ARE running these operations while the people at the top are sucking the profits out and finding more ways to destroy what's left.

>1.) Not counting the outliers is stupid because bezos, zuckerberg, elon, and the rothschilds all exist in reality. We are talking about reality not dumb statistics.
And I gave an estimate including them on the high end. It would increase the order of magnitude by 1 at most. As the other anon said, there are 15 people with over 100 billion. Even if they all have 500 billion dollars, which they don't, it's only 1 order of magnitude.
Which is still less than millionaires have even if, somehow, they all only have close to a million dollars average, which again, they have much more.
I've addressed the whole "but outliers exist" thing multiple times, either give your own estimate or stop harping on it.
>2.) taxxing them extremely heavily would benefit literally everybody except them, as using their wealth we could have more public services. Maybe Americans could even get healthcare.
Barely at all. That's my whole point. Even if you seized their wealth, much less taxed them yearly, it would only pay for military spending for a few years.
>>513876437
I advocate for MUCH stronger regulations on campaign donations, but taxing someone just so they don't have enough money to exert influence makes no sense. Fix corrupt systems, don't try to make it so no one is in a position to exploit them. Are you going to tax corporations too to make sure they don't make enough to donate to campaigns? It would destroy businesses.

Adding to this because it's great to bring up as the GOP moves to stop the estate tax, a tax that promotes meritocracy: estate tax only kicks in if you die with more that $15 million you wish to pass on to others this means you can be a millionaire, die, and make 10 people of your choosing millionaires with a few million left to put where you see fit and none of that would be touched by the estate tax. Why end it?

All you have to do is go back to 2010 campaign finance law in America. Australia made it illegal for individuals to donate over a low cap, like $15,000. All without taxing billionaires. Taxing billionaires helps because there are other ways for them to have the exert power and influence and using the gains that came at our expense to better invest in ways to support them and their future in ways that also benefit workers and consumers has been common practice from internet to the space program.

By restricting immigration, the government directly intervenes in labor supply, artificially making it scarce resulting in inflated labor costs.

Capitalism doesn't work in limited environments, it needs constant and ever-expanding sources of input to exploit. The things you hate about today's societies are brought to you by capitalism. It benefits from illegal immigration and offshoring, applying pressure to existing groups to accept less and put up with more.

Here's a reason to self improve
Specifically self improving your physical body to be fit.
To be ready to defend yourself when shit hits the fan.
That is all I have to say.

If there were an actual study done, I suspect that close to 90% of billionaires will be waking up <6am even if they don't need to.

You have to be a masochistic workaholic to not quit after making $0.1 billion. The kind of person who makes it to a billion is doing it because he's messed up in the head.

Its just a FED/shill thread brother. The only reason there are never any Self Improvement General threads on here anymore is because they are ravaged by shills disrupting conversation, then they get slid to /bant (somehow "off topic"), and the poster then gets banned for awhile. This happened when I made one a couple years ago but it perhaps its worth trying again.

Focusing on building your self up physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually among other ways as well to the best of your ability is definitely important.

Yeah, but how'd they get that first hundred? That first thousand? That first hundred thousand? That first million?

At some point yes, if you want to stack tons of cash, someone else has to come in help you with that effort, and you have to pay them, and hopefully it isn't an exorbitant amount compared to what they're looking to get. Some people who go that route will take advantage of those who are working for them, some won't. Assuming shit just spawns in out of thin air like produce at a grocery store is the commie mentality and only a commie mentality; the same applies to how money gets made.

>>513878633
I mean, it does, because it's just large-scale mercantilism, a concept commies will never understand because they don't have enough under the hood to be able to power up and have those thoughts, but continue to be arrogantly incorrect. It's at least entertaining to watch.

Ok, give me an example of how it works in a limited environment. Say, the state of Maine. No goods or people leave the state, and none come in. Also, you only get 10 miles out from any coastline.

Tell me how capitalism succeeds there. Success is measured in constant growth with allowable disruptions now and then due to acts of god.

That's not what the article even said. It's comparing apples to oranges: the wealth (as reported by Forbes) of the wealthiest (as reported by Forbes) 400 Americans (a set that changes year to year anyway) compared to the USA's GDP (which is like annual productivity but the numbers are faked anyway).

A better comparison would be annual income to to GDP, or total wealth compared to total assets in the USA.

Let's be real: you simply don't understand math, AND you're a shill being paid to post propaganda here.

Weed is good to use if you're working a lot, especially if you are able to listen to music.
>you're just using drugs to escape the hell of life!
No, I'm working hard towards a better future. I've saved up over $300k in the last 8 years by working my ass off and not spending my money, and in all honesty I am happier than I was in my 20s when I would play vidya and watch TV whenever I wasn't at my 40hr job.

I have the satisfaction of knowing I'm a hard worker, and the financial security to pay my bills for the next 15 years allows me to sleep (when I have the time) without stress.

I smoke weed 6-10 times every day, and I am content to work and smoke and rock out to my music.

This is some "dress for the job you want" level cope. If you aren't constantly working towards becoming one no shit you won't become one and yeah you aren't going to wage yourself to a billion dollars. Create something you whiny bitch, the whole tariff situation has proven people are just braindead and lazy. Everyone bitching about prices when the environment is primed for competition. But it requires risk and creation rather then another amazon dropship scam. Fuck the poor at this point they deserve it and have no intention of bettering themselves or cheering you on, all they want is to drag people down to their gutter while vowing to revolt in 2 weeks so they can circlejerk about their revenge porn fantasies. The oncoming cyberpunk dystopia isn't the result of the hyper rich ruining everyone else's life out of spite. It's simply the level of progress the poor will allow others to drag them towards.

I'm just putting things into perspective. Thinking it's just vaguely about winning and losing when groceries are becoming a greater expense and McDonalds is as expensive as Chili's, all that profit trickling up and out at the top for CEOs and private equity firms while they bring in H1B replacements is more to the point of why billionaires should be taxed. Also if it's all meritocracy, support a higher estate tax.

>Some random nigger on social media has a retarded opinion.
Interesting, but I don't believe this is true. I've met some extremely wealthy men in my life and they are all completely obsessive about whatever it is they do (typically just in growing their wealth).
Several have told me that they sleep only a few hours a day, though only one of them looks like it. The others seem like they just don't need to.
Fuck, I bet even if you look at billionaire athletes, I bet Tiger Woods spends 60+ hours a week swinging a golf club, Michael Jordan probably slept with a fucking basketball.
Have none of you losers never met any exceptional/driven/successful people? Do you really believe you get to amass and maintain wealth by fucking off on 4chan and gooning to tranny porn all day?

>The reason you can't afford a house
But I own a house. The reason the whiny cunts on social media don't own houses is that they're lazy, dull witted cattle who have no job, savings, or useful skill.

billionaires are not the real problem--the real problem is slow information feedback.
Don't be disingenuous. The plutocrats are the only class with real political power--they're the interests of globohomo (or globalist american empire, whatever you wanna call it). And these interest are all in on the status quo continuing--on the plutocrats to be free to do as they please with no feedback or limits, and the rest of the population can't obtain that power without playing the multigenerational wealth race, which can only be gained by perpetuating plutocrat power. Not only does this plutocrat governance system reward bad performance (incompetent elites can't fall) but it's also very slow, compared to how fast meritocracy is in the Chinese governance system. Simple exams for everyone.

The problems that need fixing won't ever get fixed. the other classes are priced out of political power--democracy is investment, that is a feature of the governance system. Therefore, there is no feedback into the American/Globohomo governance system. The solution is a nimbler, faster governance model that gets info, talent and skill to positions of power as quickly as possible. The solution is copying the Chinese governance model.

But that would go against the interests of Globohomo. It's a downward spiral. Can't believe I typed all that. I should go to sleep already. My tummy hurts.
