Using bankruptcy is a weak argument. I basically impresses those that have never or will never own a business. There is an average of over 24,000 bankruptcies filed every year.
An average of 81 companies file bankruptcy with assets of over $100 million.
An average of 17 companies file bankruptcy with assets of over $1 billion.
Bezos has stated that one day Amazon will file for Bankruptcy. Amazing going down the drain. Most likely the sq. Miles of mt warehouse space will turn into Ai centers.
Nazi Don is around only because of a corrupt justice system (as are many of the USAâs most affluent), and no how you twist the numbers, most the most richest stay rich because the US justice / tax system favors them, the tax burden has always fallen to the working class, and itâs past time for you deadbeats to go.
What I understand is the Donald still will not be investigated / audited by the IRS.
Trump refuses to ditch one big part of grift deal
Why wouldnât the Donald have a weekend home in California and play golf.
Right the Billionaire tax.
A half a brain agrees on what is going on!
Worst-kept secrets at the White House revealed by senior official
At the end itâs compared to Reservoir Dogs, Quinton Tarentinoâs movie where everyone has a loaded revolver pointed.
2025 total number of self-made billionaires to over 3,000 globally.
39 or younger who built their own fortunes has soared amid the AI boom, tying the all-time record set in 2021. These are the 40 wealthiest.
Canât edit comments or post links I guess because of facts.
Taylor Swift is also a self made billionaire. Donât read into it but a Democrat is not part of the anti billionaires society.
Mark Cuban, Tom Steyer, Tom Steyer, JB Pritzker, Stephen and Susan Mandel, Reid Hoffman, Dustin Moskovitz, Michael Bloomberg and George Soros, all billionaires. All part of the party the Bernie Sanders complaining about. âSen. Bernie Sanders is ringing the alarm that the United States is ârapidlyâ becoming an oligarchy run by billionaires out to enrich themselves.â
There is nothing bad, per se, about people being successful and gaining wealth - even great wealth. No-one is saying that. There are two bad things about billionaires today. Not just in the US but it is worse there.
Lack of tax paid. Relative to their wealth and spending the very rich do not cough up enough. The wealth of the country goes to the very rich and stays with the very rich. Each year the very rich gain more and more of the total wealth of the country. That is bad for everyone else, and bad for the country. A successful economy has the majority of people able to spend money on lots of stuff without getting into debt - thus the economy grows. That is being eroded. The very rich need to pay more tax to reduce this trend.
The very rich want to keep their wealth at any cost. They do not want to pay more tax, even if it is what the country needs. So they feel its necessary to gain political influence to make sure no policy ever comes about that reduces their wealth. So they buy influence - after all they have lots and lots of money. This then stops the country being a democracy. In fact, they very rich do not want a democracy - they want to make all the decisions. Everyone else are just little production / productivity units that make them money or they are little consumption units that buy their products / services that make them money.
There are very few of the very rich that see the harm they are doing and even fewer who would do anything about it. That is not a surprise. What is surprising is when ordinary people do not see this harm and do not want to do anything about it.
I canât seem to find any information on any of the for mentioned people. Maybe someone can provide that information to clear up the amount of tax they pay.
If my math is working correctly, with more millionaires and billionaires every year, I would assume that their they would be getting more money unless the numbers would not be going up.
With people spending money they donât have would and will cause more personal debt.
Work to get comfortable in life is the goal. The goal is not to work longer and harder to pay more taxes.
The rich donât write the tax laws they just follow them. The law makers donât want to write the laws because that would effect their donations. So it appears that it the politicians are the problem.
The people donât want to vote out the politicians because they are giving away money that the government doesnât have and they would rather have bird crumbs instead of fixing the problem.
It not corrupt if they are following the law.
It is much more useful to find the overall tax rate for all the very rich. Do that.
Well there is an idea. Stop the rich investing heavily in politicians who write the tax laws. Thanks for confirming that removing the rich from setting tax laws would be a good idea.
Are you actually sentient? What the eff does that sentence mean? Who talked about the rich being corrupt?
You dope. The rich are a corrupting influence. The rich keep within the rules (that they bought and paid for) to keep their tax very, very low. How can you not see that? Oh, you cannot see that because you are not even bright enough to write a sentence properly.
Go vote for more tax cuts for the rich. Dope.

He is uniting the country anyway,His approval numbers are now the lowest on record and an impressive 60% of Americans now disapprove so making things more expensive is a brilliant idea. 
Do you have two brain cells that still work?
If you had more than two brain cells that worked,you might be able to figure it out.
Besides maybe shining their shoes, have you lived or ever experienced corruption from the rich? Exactly, you have not.
Yes, they pay people to do their taxes. Might want to stop mixing your meds, not sure what some states (that call themselves countries) do about filing taxes, but 50-60% of Americans bought and paid for people to do their taxes. FYI 50-60% of Americans are not rich.You dope.
GOAT has discovered, sued and won against news agencies that have passed lies to other countries.
the U.S. economy has grown under Donald Trumpâs presidency
,marked by consistent Real GDP expansion
a rising stock market
an unemployment rate below 5%
However, this growth has come alongside noticeable shifts in trade
price increases
fluctuations in real wage growth.
Jimmy Kimmel said the Donalds posted 27 times last night on Truth. He has a lovely Hottie,
stays up typing his stuff.
Rob, I sort of question your awaremess of reality.
It lost 1 1/2% today, forecast, going down fast. A less than 5 lb bag of Hershes Chocolate/almonds kisses. $15. Get a bag n enjoy before they hit $20. Restaurants are closing and many malls stand with no parking in them. Their dinners awful. Every strip mall has mt stores. Gagging Kentucky Fried.
Kids are out playing in the streets now. Parents have banned Cell Phone usage all the time.
Itâs easy to deduct something very fake is going on and wait for it to happen. Sports events have lots of mt seats. There used to be tons of BBQ bumper meals, A lil steak, very tough will cost over $20. Amazing no longer shows you the actual trip your order is coming or where the delivery vehicle is when close + no Data of purchases available after a couple of weeks. + Blue Horizon blows up.
The Rulers didnât even have a Fresh egg section. Lots of cracked eggs in the 18 packs at Waldo.
Billionaires are predicting that Ai will replace most jobs that are left now. Most manufacturing is out of the states. Itâs sort of like only Contractors, construction, med / research type will exist.
What went on with the St. Louis Cardinals pretty much points to cheaper salaries. Lots of 18 wheelers are sitting around, things arriving late at rural stores. More Straight trucks on the road for local deliveries. Last sunday afternoon, no semiâs packed up to doors at Amazing, tons of delivery vehicles sitting at the UPS airport location. $750 to fuel the Diesel for the mornings drive. $3000 to deliver a new F150 to the dealerships. $58,000 for a decent F150 XLT
You spend $1 million getting your kids educated with PHDâs and they teach Biology at a high school for now to be happy.
Hoxworth is driving people away from the Defense Department. The Donaldâs ruining stuff faster than light.
I was talking with a new employee at a Quick Trip Metro mart. Reassigned due to the demolition of the front, gas pumps, tanks and cover + cement and reno Construction. He said he does not know how he can do it for the next year + driving 120 miles round trip each day just to work and back home. His car a $75 fill up every couple of days. I would expect him to take a different job closer to his home.

from what I have seen via youtube and tictoc from actual Americans who have posted is that the is a huge difference with the way workers are treated.
Example say with waiters. in the USA they rely heavily on tips as basic wages are not enough to support. Here in the uk they do better with wages and tips are not expected but given in gratitude by customers who appreciate how they were attended to.
In the USA I guess there is a huge difference between workers and bosses, just take a look at the program " under cover bosses". that is where the difference really shows up. You wonât find that happening in the UK or I have not seen that on any media outlet.
Also what is restrictive is the USA two party system which can only cause constant conflict leaving no other choice. Here in the UK we can suport from a choice several different political parties if are standing for election in ones electorial area.
The way the Politics are in the USA give so much more power to someone like Trump, who may well not be fit for the post , but money will keep him there.
Same with company bosses who are out to grab as much as they can out of the company they run at at the expense of those working for them

Trump is finished if the Demoâs win the house and Senate control with major sized majorities in both. To massively pass the legislation. Many directions will be changed or lost completely. They recently completed a large clover leaf here with most traffic driving on the left side of the road instead of the right, $$Millions spent and over 2 years of cement and construction, just the road not the bridges⊠This is the way of stuff. Chuck holes appear and are still there years later.
Iâm guessing the Whitehouse will be torn down to make sure he canât stay. It most likely has asbestos in its stuff too. It is sort of obvious all of DC Government builds have to get the smashed look too. Once something like this happens demolition is the off route.

Why not give a guy wearing a bike helmet $100,000.
It is incredible how you fail to address a point being made - or simply do not understand it. Why has your little brain gone off to talk about the act of filing taxes? The topic is the very rich making sure the system is fixed in their favour.
You are so keen to pivot to some other topic it makes it clear that you do not understand, or you not care that you are being shafted, or you really support the rich getting richer while you and everyone you know gets poorer. Any of these options is the very definition of dumb.
You can never get anywhere talking to a Problem that is a Lie.
The USA has run away Mafia like problems today, all a pack of liars and thas a fact.
They have so many rules that cost the taxpayers most all of everything because of.
They canât just drive out, fix a pothole with traffic protection, they have to do 10 miles at a time, spend millions putting in lane obstacles and make new roads alongside of all that.
Surveyors spend months plotting all that out. Complete cluster Fxâs are what is happening.
Every intersection covers 40 acres of farmland. People living along side of creeks near roads find their home has to disappear. Most all with homes near major State or Federal routes are having their land stolen from them. The big plan here now is putting in 2 lane sidewalks for power chairs and electric bicycles along the main routes. Even parks are under intense construction plans for mostly empty for 50âs of hours play a week. Pickle ball stupidity. 1000âs of tons of clay dirt hauled to make cliffs playable. Basically millions of tons hauled for mountains built to bury plastic in. I guess the thought is grind stuff up and haul it to recycle centers is whit I thiinks.
