Things that made you laugh today (Political Version)

[Suppressed Poet]

you're never going to be a billionaire and becoming a billionaire isn't from hardwork, talent, blah blah

Plenty of billionaires didn’t grow up rich and made their own fortunes in America.

It’s true I may never be a billionaire and I’m ok with that. I’ve done well for myself and don’t feel entitled to steal from them.

[Methais]

i don't know about unrealized gains specifically,

It would only be the most catastrophic financial law ever passed.

but taxing the rich polls very well on both sides.

No it doesn't. Maybe if the government didn't piss everything away they take in, it would be more well received. But probably not, because our government has a spending problem, not a revenue probelm.

i'm assuming you're talking about the Harris plan, which is for people who are worth > $100 million. so i'm going to extrapolate and say that if you are a normal voter who is for taxing the rich, you are good with having them pay on their unrealized gains

You really think it would only apply to individual people? Or do you just not know how things work? Either way, of the few stated policy positions she actually took, that one likely caused more damage to her than anything else. Taxing unrealized gains polls well with no one except for actual retards.

Related: Remember how income tax only applied to the top 3% at first? How'd that turn out?

It's not?

Oprah Winfrey started from nothing and through hard work and talent is now a billionaire.

So did Warren Buffet.

And Richard Branson.

Bill Gates
Larry Ellison
Larry Page
Sergey Brin
Michael Bloomberg

I would include Musk and Bezos.. but they got a loan from their parents to start the business and you would be like "omg no he wuznt!" but they were.

In fact, according to Forbes, 70% of the billionaires on their list are all self made.

Arizona is up to 76% of the votes counted!

Do they have retards doing the counting there or something?

Damn, she's a billionaire now?

She certainly has the talent and definitely worked hard to get where she is.

Yes.

In an effort to garner bipartisan support, Republicans should get behind some of Kamala Harris' policies she wanted to institute.

Like stacking the Supreme Court... ending the filibuster...

They were all for it before.. I'm sure their principles didn't suddenly change when their candidate won... did they???
