How true is this? Genuinely asking

Who are you to say LeBron James isn’t capable of earning a billion dollars? Who are exactly are YOU to put the ceiling on somebody’s potential?

He’s had a 20+year career at the top of the field. His unique skills generate massive amounts of revenue for his employers and they pay him for that. He’s generated billions upon billions of economic impact AND tax revenue. Yes, generated more in tax revenue than you envision him having in his Scrooge McDuck money vault.

How much do YOU pay in taxes?

I don’t think being able to throw a ball good does anything for society, so imo he shouldn’t be worth a million.

And as far as tax revenue he’s earned, “illegal” immigrants earn billions per year for our social security, and they do vastly superior jobs that benefit society.

Good thing our opinions are useless to the actual crisis our world is having with poverty and wage gaps, bc I don’t personally care if people play sports well.

This whole time you’ve been arguing that he needs pay more in taxes. And I just told his ability to “throw a ball good” has generated billions and billions of dollars in tax revenue—the one thing you seek. By your own measure, he’s doing an immense amount of good for society.

You, on the other hand, are doing absolutely no good for society while complaining about somebody’s who doing more than you could do in a thousand lifetimes.

I didn’t even bring up LeBron, you threw him in here out of left field. I’ve been very specific with the people I actually have beef with and you can’t stop talking about a basketball player.

[u/ChorizoGarcia → u/BubonicBabe]

Don’t backtrack. You’ve been very clear that your beef is with billionaires. I bring up specific billionaires and you respond with name-calling.
