Some dude I work with said “man, if they start taxing Bezos more, at what point are they gonna come after me?”
Maybe when you start making billions of dollars? Fuckin idiot
they already coming at that dude with taxes.
the others ain't paying their fair share.
They're right tho, millionaires are way more protected by government than the average person

But let's not bring into this a people that are being decimated at the rate of more that 7000 children and women/month by a genocidal neighbour yeah?
I get what you’re saying but he really is a dumbass. The loopholes drive me loco man. You’re absolutely right about Ireland too. Fuck loopholes
