I agree that the system is broken in which an individual can earn that much in the first place while people are starving
but that was the poorest example he could use.
We all love MJ and he was a good human (as far as we know) but I don’t think Pac’s example was bad even though he could have chosen worse bloodthirsty capitalists like Trump idk
You genuinely have no idea what you’re saying now. It did more than scratch the surface of his wealth. The heal the world foundation wasnt a bullshit non-profit being used to write off his taxes. Just google it man why do you gotta put the burden on me to tell you this stuff when you already picked a position and choose to argue it anyways.
If this was anyone other than MJ you especially wouldn't have this position
Yes MJ did a lot of charity
He still kept an absurd amount, way way way way more than necessary for himself
So the point still works

philanthropy was MJ’s main thing at the time Pac said this.

on a root level it works but im sure people heard that at the time and went ?? MJ? the guy donating millions to hospitals every day?

Also I don't appreciate you latching onto one small statement to try to get condescending while later admitting that the point of what I'm saying is right

I don’t appreciate you coming into a convo not knowing what you’re speaking on, already having a position, and then putting the burden on me to actually inform you, and the. arguing it anyways. You do this often and its the same thing that pissed me off last time.

It sounds like I knew what I was speaking about as you just admitted two points ago that the point of what I was saying was still true
You're latching onto tiny details of my arguments because it's MJ
My feet been hurting so bad I had to cop some Dr Scholl's soles
I don't think it's fair to
Make hella money using ur own skills
And then feel forced to give it all away just cuz u have too much
I mean if u worked for u you deserve it.
At least they donate
Some ppl don't donate at all
Or use it as a publicity move
i agree we shouldnt somehow force people to give up their money when they reach a certain amount.
rather, this is what taxes are for. tax loopholes for the ultra-rich must be stopped. ultra-rich should be funding the government via their taxes if they live in this country and get rich in it
Like the point is to say that it's the norm but is not enjoyable for a lot of people
Idk if I would say it’s the norm, lots of people work longer hours and multiple jobs

Bill Gates has reportedly donated more than $50 billion since 1994 does that change the fact that he’s a bloodthirsty capitalist?

I never denied that part of the argument oh my god i even f***ing echoed the same point in a standalone post
what im saying is he chose the poorest example possible

relative to MJ’s wealth that’s not as much but yeah he still is
but would i bring him up in a Conversation about billionaires who never give back? no, thats the last name id use.
which is my point
bill gates hasnt given me a cent

those multi-hundred millionaires/billionaires won’t pay taxes in our wildest dreams with this system

To say that the person doing the most was still not doing nearly enough and still keeping an absurd amount for himself and then to apply that standard to the rest makes it a more powerful example than any obvious one he could have picked
So I really just like fundamentally disagree with you. The example worked fine and made his point clearly

Yall are becoming porcelain

Yes
