[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Buffett, bezos, & gates, are all self made, not old money. Your conspiracy theory doesn’t hold up well. Money certainly tends to influence power, and corruption always has to be fought against. [/quote] Bezos and Gates came from VERY wealthy families. [/quote] Gates went to a private school and his father was a University of Washington professor. I doubt he would have fallen on hard times if Microsoft failed. [/quote] They weren’t ‘old money’ wealthy which the conspiracy poster argues is running the world. Look a janitor can spend his life saving and rack up a million dollars to donate. Similarly, lottery winners usual blow through millions. It’s is behavior in spending and saving, not conspiring elites, that determines your financial status, for most people born in or who make it to the us. Take a Dave Ramsey course. Learn how to discipline yourself. Stop blaming ‘the system’ or ‘the elites’ or ‘the taxes’ or whatever. [/quote] No conspiracy theories needed. The truth is in the tax code, plain for all to see.
