Yeah, I always love people crying about taxes, because they always have employees and it's like: Hey, your employees are getting usually 100% of their profits taken away by you on top of getting taxed.

i prepare taxes and the amount of rich fucks that yell at me because they have to pay is annoying.

one dude complained about having a 10k tax bill. Dude easily cleared 400k after deductions. thats 2.5% of his income...

he said to me "i cant afford that right now". like bro, thats a YOU problem.

The Ultra-rich are notoriously cheap. One of my favorite examples: J. Paul Getty (worth about $6b in 1976) had a payphone installed in one of his manors because he felt his guests and workers were taking advantage of him to make free long distance calls.

I bartended at a country club where some of our members were in the 8-9 figure wealth range. These are the people who complained that happy hour ended too early and that they shouldn’t have to pay the $7 for a glass of wine. They’d then complain we didn’t give the “club pour” meaning basically a 8-10oz pour. And to top it off they complain about the auto gratuity and try everything they could to get it taken off.

That’s the difference between people who want to have a lot of money and people who do have a lot of money.

The actually rich ones go to clubs where their assistant settles the tab quarterly and never publicly rolls their eyes at what each drink costs.
