They probably wouldn't survive ONE week without spending their entire 40K in less than a week!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 56945196



I challenge YOU to earn $1 million, pay taxes on it, and live like a millionaire.

Guess which challenge is harder!

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 6925264


Well, If I had 1 MILLION< I would deposit it into a high yield savings account and live off the interest ALONE that it would earn.

I wouldn't even touch the million, just live off of the interest it produced.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 56945196


Because you're a loser with a poverty mentality. You're the equivalent of the one they speak of in the Bible, when the master went away and left talents with his servants (Matthew Chapter 25, v. 14-30).

Live off the interest alone? Try starting a business and employing people instead of being a tick on the ass of humanity, you loser. Interest produced FROM WHAT? Do you even know how interest is created? Have you looked at current interest rates and what banks yield? Didn't think so.

The ultra rich should be helping less fortunate people. NOT hoarding millions and billions of dollars, because in the end, it isn't going to matter at all. I would not want to meet my maker and try to explain why I didn't help the less fortunate with BILLIONS of dollars in my bank account.

you could take every penny from the wealthy on wall street

and it doesn't add up to that much about 12 trillion.


on the other hand the US Government takes in 4.7 trillion

per year in Taxes.


The real money is in taxation... we could tax the corporations to death but then nobody would have a job.
Evil controls the ignorant... Climate change is a hoax so is the vax you have been fear-porned into compliance!

There are no billionaires in this form and most billionaires pay hundreds of millions to tens of billions to charitys over the course of their life, generally once their old and see the writing on the wall. They also employ tens of thousands of people and keep their family’s fed and cared for as a result.

You don’t become a billionaire by being stupid with money. Envy is also one of the deadly sins, might want to check that out.

See that man..he is richer than me.

Do you ultra rich millionaires and billionaires really think that you are going to take that money to the grave with you in the afterlife and continue living your rich lifestyle?

All that wealth ceases to exist in the afterlife. You leave that lifestyle behind and will have to answer questions from your creator about your lifestyle and explain why you didn't help the less fortunate with your billions.

Another silly supposition.

Of course, I cannot take it with me when I die, but my wife, kids, and grandkids will be better off.

I will leave behind a company that provides a good living to a number of families as well as contributing to the economic strength of the USA.

Building a company has been the most satisfying experiences of my life outside of raising some great kids.

BTW, my net worth is north of $1M, and that is AFTER going BK 14 years ago. I just worked, saved, and built a new company.

I never worked to create wealth for my own pleasures or luxuries. I live a pretty simple life completely content without sports cars, yachts, or plastic women.

I like raising kids, raising chickens, gardening, hunting squirrels in my pasture, and drinking coffee with my beloved wife.

I have 3 rules for all expenditures:

1. Does it make me healthier?

2. Does it make me more secure/safer?

3. Does it have a good return on investment?

Don't be stupid. Think about what you are saying.

It depends on what the ultra rich gazillionaires put their money into, and how they each choose (or don't choose) to live life with what they have and can do for others.

We are cattle ranchers and the family owns 600 acres. Although we do have crops, our money is invested into the cattle, and thats our main income. Every year, when all is said and done, we pull out of the yearly income enough to run the whole thing again the next year, and that includes salaries of the ranch hands and all expenses across the board. What is left is our profit for the year.

The land is important, the cattle are important, the rest of the livestock and buildings are important. Everything on our ranch will continue after we are gone and buried, because of family, who carries on the traditions.

What do you really know about what the wealthy do with our money?

Sit down with a gazillionaire and talk about what they do each year to help those less fortunate.

What do we do for others? We grow food that feeds you, your family, your pets, ourselves and our families, livestock and pets. We do it the hard way, organic, which means fighting the govt every step of the way, who nearly insist we use roundup. We will not because that is poison to the earth, to our families, to you and your families.
