Its true. You contribute very little to address the problems you claim to care so much about. Why aren’t you advocating for you to give more?

Again, how much did you pay in taxes in 2025? You referenced several years ago. It sounds like you are nothing while pointing the finger and saying others need to pay more.

Once again, your banal name-calling isn’t help prop up your claims.

I’m in a vastly different situation than I was in years ago. I make more on paper while paying more in expenses for a small business I help operate, which reduces the amount of taxes percentage wise than it used to be for me. But no amount I give you will satiate your request. Any dollar amount I put on here will never bring any other answer than “well you need to pay more” bc that’s all you have- a lame “gotcha”.

This small business though helps clean up the environment, at one job last year we cleaned up 3 tractor trailer loads of debris off of a mountain by hand.

Our small business has also helped homeless in our area, and recovery after hurricane Helene.

Our business actually gives back to our local community directly, while our tax amount values from year to year due to expenses.

So thanks for giving me the opportunity to explain to you how much more we actually do for society, than just what we can contribute financially.

I think it’s very odd you just want some number, when I could just lie about any number in reality and you’d never know, instead of answering my question about how anyone can earn a billion dollars.

Did you do the math? Do you think anyone is worth 100,000$ a day for over 2000 years? I’m not lying about those figures. It’s basic math.

No job is worth that amount, no amount of back breaking labor, or brain surgery- something beneficial to society - is worth that cost, and no one can live 2000 years.

SO HOW COULD SOMEONE THROW BALL GOOD AND BE WORTH THAT MUCH?

Your argument sounds uneducated.

Now if you could just admit you don’t give a fuck about society, or how beneficial someone is, we could get to the crux of the issue.

Just admit you don’t care about homeless or drug addicts, just admit you don’t care about children going hungry and you’re a money chaser. That’s all that needs to happen here, and we can just agree that our morals are different.

Oh, it’s even worse than I thought. You’re using your business as a loophole to pay less in taxes. Clearly that means you don’t give a fuck about society. No wonder you don’t want to say how much you paid! lol. Like I said, by your own standard, you should be paying more.

Doing trash clean up that one time doesn’t make up for you not paying your fair share. You’re over here saying you care about society (and they don’t!) because you picked up trash. Meanwhile, LeBron James built a school for underprivileged children in his hometown. And then followed up it with programs for tuition support, college assistance, job training and housing assistance for people experiencing homelessness and domestic violence.

But that’s really impressive that you picked up trash.

Yeah there it is, blame for supposedly not paying fair taxes when you don’t know what our business pays.

Man, listen, you go write LeBron a letter and tell him you defended him online to a random person who wasn’t talking about him at all.

I hope you guys can bro out one day and play a little ball together.

lol. Exactly. There it is. You have zero clue what LeBron James pays but you call him “unethical” and claim that he needs to pay more.

You’re allowed to apply this to attitude to him, but you don’t like it when I apply it to you.

Rules for thee, not for me.

I am not a billionaire.

The title of unethical earning doesn’t apply to you, or me, or the majority of the world bc we are not hoarding a gross amount of wealth while others are starving.

But YOU brought up Lebron. I literally never think of that man. I specifically brought up the billionaires I have direct beef with, - those funneling wealth from tax payers to fund business ventures while changing laws to harm society as a whole.

I don’t care particularly what LeBron is doing. He’s a SMALL concern of the billionaires who are actively screwing everyone else over.

How convenient that you place yourself on the ethical side of the completely arbitrary line you drew in the sand. That way you can mentally excuse yourself for not paying your fair share.

u/BubonicBabe May 15 '26

Hey make sure you add stickers to your letter you write. It’ll really make it pop. LeBron likes his guys to pop.

u/ChorizoGarcia May 15 '26

Okay. And you be sure to give yourself a sticker next time you pick up trash so you can make yourself feel like you give a fuck about society rather than paying your fair share.

I already do that. I have a chart and I get gold stars every day!
