@AverageJoe1 saidWhat 5 yo are you talking about? Tell me, do folks like Musk who is now looking at the possibility of a payout he could be literally the world first TRILLIONAIRE, you think there is nothing wrong with THAT MUCH MONEY IN ONE PERSONS HANDS?

Musk could care less for the common man, ONLY in how much money he can cram together and that makes him a danger with political power as well, that takes political power to a new low. So Mami wants to get more money for common folks not putting more and more of the countries wealth into smaller and smaller number of people. That part where the rich gets richer, and richer, and richer while the common folks gets SCREWED financially.
Like these tariffs where produce will go up maybe 50 % or cars or TV's of microwave ovens or toilets ALL up 30 odd % and you you think a billionaire is going to distress out about that? NO, it is the common folk who are now losing jobs around the country, try paying 30% more for stuff when you are unemployed.
But of course you are one of those immune to any of that stress because you claim to already be a multi millionaire.
The UK went overboard with that, taxed millionaires at 98% or billionaires but that is a bit extreme.
Is there some reason you think they should not pay say THIRTY% which is not even the top tier in the US, which I think is some 39% max but billionaires get to futz with it in such a way as they find themselves PISSED if they have to pay as much as TWO percent.
But for you, being rich already you would fight tooth and nail so you can continue to pay out maybe ten %.

Oh, and 100% off-topic, do you have a category about that?! He mentions not the name of the basterd who is the subject of the topic.
@no1marauder saidWhatever. He is not limiting it to the interviewer, he means everyone. Your child that you prepare to send out into the world to be a success. "...but don't make too much success, son"...That's what Jeff Bezos' dad told him.
She looked a bit older than 5 ................................................
Don't confuse Suzianne and Moonbus.
And don't be a sonhouse, please.
And don't be a billionaire. Not allowed. King Mamdani decides.
Sonhouse does not like Kings.
Mamdani just accepted $250M from a billiionaire, ,,...whom he denounces?????

Look at all this. Do you see how mixed up you all are? I see now your angst.

uuhhhh,, not if he uses it to get to Mars. And to quote Sonhouse, it is OK for people to have extra money, like the loser college grads who have their loans paid off... YOu said they will "spend it back into the economy and the economy will flourish!!!!"
Hey, Sonhouse, follow me here..........Can we all, all of your friends on the Forum, apply that same logic, your rationale and common sense to this situation....
WITH ALL THAT MONEY, MUSK WILL SPEND IT AND THE ECONOMY WILL FLOURISH!!
All of us cannot wait for your response, I may skip church!
@AverageJoe1 saidSomehow I doubt many 5 year olds would get their panties in bunch like you do over such an innocuous statement.

He doesn't think there should be billionaires; so what? There's only about 1100 in the whole country, so pretending to a 5 year old they have any realistic chance to be one is deluding them.
Thinking that the only way you can be a "success" is to be a billionaire is demented.
@no1marauder saidMarauder does not such a good job of evading this simple issue. Here it is. The democrats are behind the teachings of Mamdan. One dictum is to discourage the concept, that advent, the existence of Billionaires. NO BILLIONAIRES... Jesus.

If effect then, around the kitchen table, we are to expound this philosphy. My OP? That, we naturally would have to instill this King-ordered directive to our children as soon as they can talk and grasp the Concept Of Their Piggy Banks!!
You can do, better, Marauder. Stand up. Tell everyone that we need billionaires, job creators, more Amazons, such as that.
Or, tell us that no one should make a lot of money. Which is it, Marauder?
PS. Note how you all are doing exactly what I rave against. Why don't you leave us all the hell alone? Why does Sonhouse think that Musk's money has anything to do with him...Why does Sonhouse think that a King, which he hates, BTW, should be able to tell a man about his money?????????
C'mon you can debate this on a reasonable level. Cute comments fall flat. Only Sue gets to do that.
@AverageJoe1 saidThe idea that without rich people - super rich people in this case - there wouldn't be any jobs is a persistent delusion you keep spouting.

@AverageJoe1 saidnobody should be allowed to be a billionaire, that is correct

but let's just settle for 90% marginal tax rate for anything above 1billion
@no1marauder saidOff No1Marauder goes.... No one says that 'without rich people there would not be any jobs." Walmart, 2.3 million employees. Family is worth billions. Amazon employs 1.5 million. OK, y'all know that, nothing new. But this you might not have considered..................
The idea that without rich people - super rich people in this case - there wouldn't be any jobs is a persistent delusion you keep spouting.
These companies are OWNED BY CITIZENS LIKE YOU AND ME. Traded on NYSE. THESE people get rich themselves, just by owning a piece of the company. A share. Maybe 2000 shares.
So if you glom onto what Marauder is suggesting,... if He and Mamdani have their way, your uncle Charlie's pension plan at the local meat processing plant, will dwindle to nothing. The plan is full of NYSE stock. And, , Amazon or Walmart which it holds shares in, will stop paying dividends which will sink his portfolio. Hey, does Mott's daddy work at Amazon?? Then, he works for your uncle Charlie!
Class dismissed.
@Zahlanzi saiddate-date-1989... I have a file on you, turkey!. (not really). But I am a very nice person who does more philanthropy that you can imagine, I do this thingy for fun, I use this forum to highlight certain issues at board meetings, if you have to know. But, you don't have to know. When you get ugly, it is not nice when you get ugly. Please debate about ideas, do not be a sonhouse. He can be a sonhouse, and sue can be a sue, but I think you get my drift. Attack ideas, not people.
the billionaires' gimp says what?
Now, what do you think about Mamdani turning NYC into a socialist state? You are the PERFECT poster to keep us apprised with his mindset, telling us how he thinks like he does, (no billionaires, etc) which, is how you think. Do you not appreciate how this is the perfect venue for you to make your case?? C'mon , man. If you do it in earnest, and ask me at the same time to shut up, I will. I want to HEAR, not to talk.
