My own business began this year with $0 and I'm way past $100k. I had to live in my car for two months, absolutely worth it though, it helped me focus like never before. I created excellent product and then spent a lot of time both online and offline finding customers.
And now imagine you do this, and after all the shit you went through people start saying you don't deserve your money, completely ignoring the huge risk you made and the opportunity cost behind you, and that YOU MADE THE THING. What would you think?
a special right, advantage, or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group.
A car? Access to the internet? Their mental and physical health? No dependents? It's unclear how emteycz fed, cleaned, and clothed themselves while they had debt and no home, but plausibly there's some assistance there.
And the parent poster was talking about their privilege today in any case.
$200 one
> access to the internet
McDonalds and KFC
> Their mental and physical health
Both nope
> how emteycz fed, cleaned, and clothed themselves
Black market jobs, and sometimes not much to eat. I had clothes from before. Zero assistance, that's how it is in our little social democratic republic.
And if you are making $100k, you aren't the target of anyone's tax plans.
While yes, at 100K you can probably afford to pay some taxes, it's not where we should be looking to solve any real meaty problems.
