RKOI: Rich Kids of Instagram (AKA the children of the 1%)

[szechuanpork]

20 for a coke, what an outrage.

actually for 2 cokes.

 

[Phokus]

My 'favorite' one:

"#nojob #noproblem"

And republicans want to fucking get rid of the estate tax, you fucking morons.

 

[Phokus]

I hope one of these days my children can post those pictures.

Suppose you make it rich, then what? Give it all away? Easier said than done.

See: Bill Gates and Warren Buffet. There are less famous billionaires/millionaires who do that too.

Generational aristocracy is going to ruin this country.

 

[HardcoreRobot]

if you have a problem with this you are a dirty dirty communist. not joking.

 

[Imp]

You'd do it too if you were born into money?

 

[Ricochet]

Wait....you have rich kids spending money (ie supporting the economy). What's the problem with this? Isn't it good that they overpay for just about everything? Better than hoarding.

The problem with most folks who were born into money is not that they're all the irresponsible assholes as portrayed by the media, it's that they have no frame of reference for the majority of people who don't have money.

They are in effect a separate society and can not identify with or appreciate the social conventions of the rest of us. To be fair, we are at the same disadvantage with regards to the wealthy but, we see the difference. The wealthy tend to believe poor people simply don't have the brains, drive or, desire to be wealthy.

It's actually not that they have tons of money and are completely useless, it's that because they're rich, they have incredible political power to get the government to benefit them. That is why they pay very little taxes on their inheritance and also on the money they make on the return on their investments off their inheritance.

For example, now that Mitt Romney isn't working, he pays an effective tax rate of 14% (for comparison, i had an effective tax rate of 25% and i work my ass off). There are rumors that he paid even less, or even no taxes in some years. When Romney passes that inheritance onto his children/grandchildren, they will never have to work again in their lifetime and they will pay very little in taxes. All while you bust your ass and pay a higher tax rate.

That's why when I'm rich, my kids are going to live in santa ana til 18 while I party in st. Tropez.

 

[Saint Nick]

You don't mind working your ass off and paying higher tax rates than a trust fund kid who makes a shitload more money than you doing nothing?

YOU ARE THE PROBLEM

The republican party is going to destroy this country.

Yeah man, fuck that shit.

They should have to give it all to the government so it can be wasted properly.

Get over yourself, and take your drama queen shit back to the P&N cesspool where you live and where it belongs.

You have to be a fucking moron of epic proportions to believe it's ok for a working stiff to pay higher tax rates than these scumbags. Sorry for caring about the country and being concerned about people with your level of ignorance dragging down everyone else.

How hard you work doesn't equal how much you make. People I know who make the most work the least. Owners make the buck. Workers get standard wage. If you want the buck, become an owner. Til then, don't be jealous.

I agree, we should all pay 14% or less, lets work towards that instead of punishing success.

Nothing better than a level playing field.

Jesus Christ, do you fucking ATOT posters even fucking read? This has nothing to do with 'how much they make versus how much we make', this is how much we're getting taxed versus how much they're getting taxed. And also the disproportionate political influence they have.

Punishing success? You probably think these trust fund kids 'earned' their money though the dint of hard work.

 

[Printer Bandit]

Holy fuck.

$10 for water....you can get that for free.
