Today, my dad explained to me that it's actually a "good thing" that we have a trillionaire in America now, because he builds rockets, and those are cool or something. WEALTH. TAX. NOW. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my dad refuses to let me inherit all of his money, which might just put a roof over my head when I’m older. *His* money? Well, actually, he inherited it. FML
Today, I learned that my deceased dad left his entire considerable estate to charity because it was "fairer" than trying to divide it evenly between his three kids. Some of our properties have been in our family since Jefferson was President. FML
Today, my father decided that he "wants to get rich." His method of choice? Bitcoin trading. He's already lost a lot of money, but won't stop, because, "he doesn't listen to haters." FML
Today, my dad came home from Vegas. Today, my college savings account is down by $64,000. FML
Today, while struggling to find a job that will accommodate my disabilities, an acquaintance ranted at me about how nobody wants to work hard, and they have to earn what they get. This chucklefuck works for his father, will inherit a multi-million dollar business, and bought his house from his aunt. FML
Today, I found out my dad tells everyone I’m still living in his house farting around on the internet. I’m a software engineer and I invest in the stock markets. I live in his house because I bought it off him when he fell behind on his own mortgage. I’ve been earning more than him since I was 22. FML
Today, my dad found a couple of coins on the floor next to my desk, and gave me a lecture about how money doesn't grow on trees and how irresponsible I am when it comes to money. They were Chuck E. Cheese tokens. FML
Today, my dad told me he has money set aside for when he has to bail me out of jail, because "it's bound to happen sooner or later." FML
Today, my dad screamed at me because I've been "spending too much money". He's been out of a job for 4 months and I've been giving him 300 dollars a month to help pay for bills... and his beer. FML
Today, my father was telling me that one of the benefits about his job was that the family could get discounts, then asked if I'd like some. My dad's a plastic surgeon. FML

Kindly explain what the consequences are for every other stockholder (probably including you if you have a 401k) after forcing him or anyone else to liquidate a portion of their stock. You been sold the lie that he steals his wealth from a fixed pile of money. No, he created it, for himself and every other stockholder. Government could destroy it in the process of confiscating it. You have no idea what you're demanding.

At this rate a stupidity tax might be more apt and would by the looks of things be quite lucrative.

Imagine how many rockets could be built with the money if we taxed this trillionnaire enough to make him a millionnaire.

Hey, child, those trillion dollars are tied up in industries that employ people, and Musk pays hundred of million in taxes already. Probably hundred of billions in taxes now. Jealousy is not a good look. Also, communism doesn't work.

These political FML's are lame. This site used to be funny.

don’t be bitter because he made better life choices than you. go out there and get that money. plus, if the rich are taxed, and then either employer people or sell consumer goods, where do you think they’ll make up the difference at? you, my friend, the consumer, will end up paying more if they are taxed higher. please educate yourself.

Taxation is letting him off too easily.
