Latest / Papa Gut / Joe Bartolozzi goes woke on billionaires
Transcript
- 0:00I hate the where like billionaires live frugally and
- 0:03they're like how respectful, you know, he understands the value
- 0:06of money. He's driving a $30,000 sedan.
- 0:09You are worth $3 billion. Buy a Bugatti.
- 0:15Like you're just hoarding money. It's not it's like beyond greed,
- 0:19it's like you're, you're taking money out of the circulation of
- 0:23the economy and just. It's true.
- 0:28Also, I want to I kind of want to wrap this into another point
- 0:31here, OK? This it triggers me so deeply.
- 0:34Maybe maybe This is why Mr. Beast never responded to me
- 0:39after he like, reached out to me.
- 0:40He's probably trying to do like the fattest guys in the world
- 0:42try to roll out of a skating rink or something.
- 0:45I don't know. OK, people.
- 0:47He must have saw the TikTok for the the video I made about him,
- 0:50like the the clip, because it drives me nuts that this guy
- 0:53goes and talks about how he's basically poor.
- 0:55He's like, yeah, I actually have a ton of debt.
- 0:57And I hate that 'cause that's like rubbing it in your face.
- 1:00You know what I mean? Like, you know, when somebody
- 1:02got like the last ice cream that you really wanted, even though
- 1:05the doctor said you probably shouldn't.
- 1:07And they just, they don't just eat it.
- 1:09They like loading it in their face.
- 1:10And they're like, you know, that's what he's doing to you.
- 1:13Because what you need to understand is the biggest
- 1:14problem. Like, I think it's great that
- 1:16people make a tremendous amount of money, right?
- 1:18Like, you know, the the statistic like 1% of the the top
- 1:211% pays 4% of the income tax. That's not true.
- 1:23It's the top 1% of income earners.
- 1:26Mr. Beast is not an income earner.
- 1:28Mr. Beast doesn't pay himself Elon Musk either.
- 1:31Elon Musk pays himself like $80,000 a year.
- 1:32What they do is they take out loans against their net worth
- 1:36from banks. So let's say 3%, like $1,000,000
- 1:39or 3%, instead of paying $1,000,000, that would have an
- 1:41effective tax rate of let's say 30% just, and they take all that
- 1:44money that they saved and they, they invest it into more assets
- 1:48so they can inflate their net worth and politicians so that
- 1:51those politicians will make rules for them that help them to
- 1:53keep their net worth really big. Like, for instance, rules that
- 1:56would make it more difficult to build new houses.
- 1:59And so when he goes around, he's gloating.
- 2:01He's gloating about how he's taking advantage of the system
- 2:03and he's like disproportionately you in the end on your tax
- 2:06burden. It's annoying.
- 2:09And like you have to see it like when they say that, like that's
- 2:11such a virtue signal. And it's like adjacent to this,
- 2:13when people are like, Oh, I like that they only have a $30,000
- 2:15car. Yeah, live, you know, live
- 2:18within your means. But like spend a little bit of
- 2:19money on stuff and it wouldn't even be a big deal whatsoever
- 2:23'cause we talk about like a like a percentage tax on
- 2:25billionaires. It wouldn't be a big deal if we
- 2:27got like the death taxes under control.
- 2:30How do they pay the loans back? They don't.
- 2:31They just pay the interest off the loans.
- 2:33They make more money than they make more money than they would
- 2:37have spent overall by inflating their net worth.
- 2:39They just pay the interest or they die with the debt and they
- 2:40use different tax loopholes to pass their stuff on without it
- 2:43getting taxed. We need death taxes to be much
- 2:46more aggressive. Like if I don't I don't think
- 2:48that like and no inheritance over or under $1,000,000 I don't
- 2:51think should be taxed. But like after that it should be
- 2:53like 50 plus percent. OK, when Elon Musk dies and his
- 2:56trillion dollars get passed on to everybody else, he should
- 2:58have to pay $500 billion to the economy.
- 3:03That's what they need to do. So like, well, toward all you,
- 3:05but you shouldn't be able to keep that when you die.
- 3:08Half that should be taken. Ow, boy, there needs to be less
- 3:12of an incentive. There needs to be less of an
- 3:15incentive to want to rack up a trillion dollars.
- 3:19Like, that's ridiculous and it's destructive.
- 3:21It's legitimately destructive to just it's just, that's
- 3:26everything. It destroys my balls.
- 3:28Like holding on to that like and buy stuff.
- 3:31I hate when old people do that. Bro, how are you, 75 on the on
- 3:36Death's doorstep, sitting on $80 million?
- 3:39And you? Refuse to spend it, you're a
- 3:41Jackass. Oh my God.
- 3:43He's right, he's right. And I wanted to spin it to a new
- 3:46point because people I, I often, I'm, I'm getting super woke
- 3:50here, but people often talk about like, oh, who cares if we
- 3:53can? Like what does it matter?
- 3:54Even if we get billion dollars from taxing all the rich people
- 3:59with a flat tax, $100 billion is not going to kill the debt.
- 4:03You don't understand about the way that money works.
- 4:05Like it's not about that. It's not like getting $1,000,000
- 4:08from the federal government or giving $1,000,000 to the federal
- 4:11government and they could use it better.
- 4:12But just if you're hearing me out, getting $1,000,000 for the
- 4:14federal government doesn't mean the federal government got
- 4:16$1,000,000. I know it sounds crazy, but
- 4:19generally speaking, and this is something that the federal
- 4:22government does great, they spend money.
- 4:23So if they get $1,000,000, let's say they decide we have
- 4:26$1,000,000, now we're going to open up 20 new jobs paying
- 4:28$50,000. What ends up happening there?
- 4:32Those people get paid $50,000 and now they pay income tax and
- 4:35payroll tax too. Those are two different things.
- 4:37Payroll taxes like Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, which
- 4:39by the way, top 1% of income earners only pay 4% of that.
- 4:42OK, there's a Social Security cap, it needs to be lifted.
- 4:45But anyway, the top what the was I saying?
- 4:48Holy shit, that money gets collected in taxes.
- 4:50They take that money, they spend it, they're spending in their
- 4:52local communities. They're creating new jobs
- 4:54because now there's more stuff that needs to be bought.
- 4:57They're they're enhancing their economic infrastructure.
- 4:59That's another bus truck driver that's getting more money or
- 5:02getting paid. That's another grocery store
- 5:03attending, getting more. That's how this works.
- 5:05And all those people are paying state taxes.
- 5:09Most, if you're in a state that has that federal taxes, sales
- 5:13taxes, all these different things they're paying here.
- 5:16So like, it's not just about that.
- 5:18Like a healthy economy needs a constant rolling of money
- 5:21around. So $1,000,000 more to the
- 5:22federal government is more than $1,000,000.
- 5:26Just think about it dude. OK, that annoys the got to be.
- 5:30Beyond that, I feel like the money takes, it's not usually
- 5:33billionaires, it's Hollywood motherfuckers, people that are
- 5:36in the spotlight. They have 500 million, a billion
- 5:38dollars. They're still, you know, a
- 5:40worth, you know, top 1000, top 5000 richest people in the
- 5:43world. They're just not the tech CEOs
- 5:46and billionaires like that. They're guys where it's like
- 5:48they have everything. So they just start creating like
- 5:50fashion senses that don't exist because they want to be like
- 5:54unique money can't buy taste. That's true.
- 5:56Hamburger Helper is one of the best tastes ever and money very
- 6:00low on that. Oh my God bro, it's always in
- 6:03the summer that it happens. Delete the odd, delete the odd,
- 6:06Delete the, delete the odd. I find that funny.
- 6:08That's a crash out to Joe. That's like a Tuesday, you know,
- 6:11delete the. Odd Brady.
- 6:12All right, incredible.
