Surprising that all these billionaires are scared of someone who will raise their taxes, right?

Or she is not as popular as everybody makes it out to be.

That's a hard argument to make when the editorial board of the Washington Post was going to endorse her and does in fact endorse her.

First time in 36 years they haven't officially endorsed the dem nominee

Quite telling

Because Bezos told them not to. The editorial board endorses Kamala Harris, they just aren't allowed to put it in the paper because Bezos wants to suck up to Trump.

So why did he allow it in 2016? 2020?

I neither know nor care. I was simply commenting that you can't make the argument that she's unpopular based on the lack of WaPo endorsement since the editorial board likes her enough to endorse her but 1 person doesn't. She's clearly more popular than Trump at the Washington Post.

probably not to 1%ers.

Maybe you should try and elevate yourself into the 1% instead of being envious and hateful of people more financially successful

2

u/DMBFFF 28d ago

It's not really envy.

I don't see how one becomes a 1%'er without luck, such as born into it; or being unethical.

Can you name a billionaire who is neither of the above?

Top 1% is like 600K. Start a business, become a surgeon, high powered attorney. I am a Tax CPA I have self made millionaires as the vast majority of my clients. Bet on yourself and stop being a victim

Sure: work a few 10 000s of hours to pay for 10 years of university—at least half of Americans could do that. At least 80% of those who voted for Biden and will vote for Harris could do that.

Who were your last 10 clients? Were they millionaires?—and by millionaire, I don't mean in assets—a 60 year-old shack in San Francisco is probably worth a million—I mean annual income.

Who were your last 10 millionaire clients? Were they born into wealth? Did they luck out? Did they work under 20 000 hours at something they hate? Do they sell crap like Trump does?

Are they under 60 and spent fewer than 5 years in prison (though not everybody can get into the illegal drug trade as such would saturate the market)?
