I don't need lessons on Capitalism. Certainly not from a Socialist.

I have no money problems.

You should move to Russia.

71% of the world's population lives on less than $10 a day. 6ix, if you are spending more than $10, you are spending too much.

That's a false equivalence argument.

The world-wide median per-capita income was $2,920 in 2020, and that's before wages were pushed up post-Covid plandemic.

If I owned my mud hut in Kenya free and clear, I'd be living on 25 cents per day.

As it stands now, I'm under $18 per day. If I didn't have property taxes I would be under $15 per day.


The average working American will spend more filling up their tank to get to and from work this week than I will to live comfortably the entire week. The average working American will spend more on lunch Tuesday when the holiday weekend is over than it costs me to comfortably live for the entire day.

And all of that was paid for, well in advance. Most of the stuff I have in my house for future use was bought pre-Bidenflation. Zero on credit. Zero interest payments. Plenty stock of everything I need on hand.

Hell... If I wanted to, I could just not buy any food or toiletries for the next 2 years to keep stocked up and I could bring that $15 down to $10 per day. Then the only thing keeping me from being under $10 would be paying for other people's kids to go to school.

I get a sense that you fail to understand what Ben Franklin did. He set aside a small amount of money for an experiment. Franklin’s 200-year experiment in microlending came to an official end in 1990, by which time the compounded value of the funds was $4.5 million in Boston and $2 million in Philadelphia. Without Franklin's experiment, thousands would never have moved into the middle class or higher. Franklin's greedy descendants wanted that money for themselves, but his lawyers wrote the codicil to his will so that Boston and Philly got the money instead. Franklin's experiment proved to be very important but no Trumptard understands, probably because TL;DR. Or maybe Trumptards just plain old lack the knack to live large and be wealthy. I guess somebody has to be on the bottom and that place is natural for Trumptards.

I don't borrow money. I haven't since 2005.

Everything I have is paid for, stupid.

Go talk to somebody who is actually poor. Most of them are Democrats, so you shouldn't have a hard time finding one.

6ix, nobody cares about reading your story "See America on $18 per Day". And those supposedly poor "Democrats" that Republicans are always bitching and moaning about? Those "Democrats" don't even know who the governor of Texas is, or any other state-wide official. I've been asking and they either don't know Abbott's name or they think his name is Perry, a previous governor. Ignoramuses don't prosper anywhere in the world, especially in America. That is a rule which is true even in Russia. Too bad more ignoramuses don't know it, but then they wouldn't be ignorant, would they?

Apparently you do. You can't stop talking about my personal life.

Stop pretending that you're talking to somebody that doesn't understand money, and I won't tell you for the 10,000th time that I have no money worries.

According to JD Power, the average car loan is $700 a month now. Add that to the $1200 to $2000 I'm not paying on rent or mortgage in BidenWorld and it's no different than me making $1900 to $2600, tax free, every month, simply by not doing anything.

And then think of the large percentage of all that money that Americans are paying for interest on their loans and not even to pay down the shit they don't own.

No. They don't prosper. They vote Democrat.

SECOND, at this point people who vote Dem are either poor resentful blacks, poor Hispanics, resentful women, LGBTQX activists, or virtue-signalling white males. Hardly the kind of attitude groups on which to build a better nation.

If you love America and care about Americans .... and clearly, you DON'T ... you would reward hard work, a positive attitude, realism, and a concern for all Americans equally. That would build a strong, independent, and properous nation.

Instead, you obviously hate America and most Americans. You hate people who expect to be rewarded for working, and you care far more about Ukraine/ Russia/ Vietnam/ blacks/ LGBTQ/ illegal immigrants/ (fill in the blank) splinter groups. And in reality you promote virtue-signalling rentier money-grubbers.
