Millionaire Claims He's Closer to Minimum Wage Worker than Warren Buffet



NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Billionaire Warren Buffett can pay more taxes if he wants to, but some "ordinary millionaires" say they're already paying plenty. Even so, some millionaires say Buffett doesn't speak for them. "There is more of a difference between my financial position as a multi-millionaire and Buffett's than there is between mine and a guy that makes minimum wage," one CNNMoney reader said. "Why am I grouped with him and why does he feel he can speak for me?"

Asinine. This guy knows how percentages work right, like you wouldn’t be paying the same as Warren Buffet, I assume he knows this? He’s a millionaire he has to have some common sense, no? 

Look, I get not wanting to pay more taxes, I don’t want to pay more taxes, and if your argument is, fuck you, I don’t want to pay more taxes, I pay enough already, that’s fair. But if your argument is, there’s a bigger difference between a millionaire and Warren Buffet's life and a millionaires and a minimum wage worker, you’re the stupidest person on earth. The stupidest. And it’s quantifiable. It’s quantifiable in how many packs of ramen you’ve bought in the last year, in interest earned on your savings account, make model and year of your car, and your house.

I’m not saying you didn’t work for it, I’m not saying you have every right to be upset about the government asking for a bigger portion of it back. I’m saying you have no right to be an absolute dickhead about it. You think you paid your share, cool, but don’t compare yourself to the struggling McDonald's worker living on a friends couch driving a Daewoo. I don’t even compare myself to them, and I’m only a self made thousandaire. You just made the I'd punch you in the dick if I ever met you, list.
