Well, Bloomberg’s NET WORTH may be 55 billion dollars, but his annual income would presumably be much lower than that.
Granted, an increase in Bloomberg’s estate taxes may be costly, but it’s not like Bernie’s plan would have taken 27 billion dollars out of Bloomie’s pockets. Taxes are proportional to income, not net worth.
In any case celebrating the fact that this guy is out a paltry $600m is some bernout cope. He's gonna go back to eating expensive white children while the people gloating are in the drive thru for McDonald's lmao
Which is pants on head retarded, because it's nearly impossible to quantify for the super rich. None of them exactly keep their net worth in cash. No one can even come close to figuring out the fucking president's net worth, and he doesn't have anywhere near the likes of people like Bloomberg, Bezos, etc.
The Athenians had a great system for taxing net worth. If the tax man comes to your house and you claim it's not worth all that much, they can buy it from you at whatever you claimed it was worth.
Fun Fact: During the 1918 flu pandemic, the governor quarantined the territory, and because of his actions, American Samoa was one of the few places in the world where no flu-related deaths occurred.
Ok hear me out. Say Biden actually drops out due to some health/mental problem. Is the DNC going to back Sanders or Warren? Maybe, but honestly maybe not. And Bernie's health is also almost as questionable.
In The Lord of the Rings, J. R. R. Tolkien drew upon the language and themes found in the old Medieval hero-tales in order to construct a kind of new mythology. The brilliance of Tolkien was in his departure from the Pagan modes of conduct and morality of these old tales, his creation of a syncretistic fusion between Christian thought and Pagan language, and so his work achieved a deep resonance with all who read it.
We find this passage at the conclusion of The Return of the King:
>The Dark Lord was suddenly aware of him, and his Eye piercing all shadows looked across the plain to the door that he had made; and the magnitude of his own folly was revealed to him in a blinding flash, and all the devices of his enemies were at last laid bare.
Adversaries in the stories that Tolkien drew upon, Grendel, Mordred and the like, often served as obstacles that the heroes could overcome through feats of strength and cunning. Sauron is not like them. When Sauron is defeated, it is not because Aragorn is stronger than him or because Gandalf is wiser. They are not. It is only that his hubris was so great that it never occured to him that anyone would want to destroy the thing he held so dear. It is not until the final few seconds of his existence that he realises his mistake.
I think that I Am Jazz displays a similar moment. In the pictured scene, Jazz's journey to what he believes is womanhood is almost complete. He is resting after surgery, a triumphant smile on his face, his rotting groin held together by a labyrinthine patchwork of stitches and grafts. But as Eru Ilúvatar nudged Gollum over the Crack of Doom into the fires beneath, so too does the God of our world intervene in this.
>Pop!
In a second, the follies of men are undone and Jazz's crotch explodes, a meaty froth of blood and pus pouring out of the hole where his penis used to be.
don’t worry fellow berouts, I’ve been informed that due to his enormous twitter/reddit commie following this is irrelevant and won’t effect bernies path to victory
He could have given 200 dollars to every american instead of this lmao. I will miss SNEEDING at every single one of his ads tbh, they knew just how to make me upset
Holy shit. My mom came into my room to bring me a plate of chicken nuggets and I literally screamed at her and hit the plate of chicken nuggets out of her hand. She started yelling and swearing at me and I slammed the door on her. I'm so distressed right now I don't know what to do. I didn't mean to do that to my mom but I'm literally in shock from the results tonight. I feel like I'm going to explode. Why the fucking fuck is he losing? This can't be happening. I'm having a fucking breakdown. I don't want to believe the world is so corrupt. I want a future to believe in. I want Bloomberg to be president and fix this broken country. I cannot fucking deal with this right now. It wasn't supposed to be like this, I thought he was polling well in Texas???? This is so fucked.
I've seen about 500 people talking about how he split the vote and that it harmed Bernie Sanders
Here's the deal though.. do they think the type of person who voted for Bloomberg had Bernie as their second choice? Maybe some of them for sure, but it seems like those would have just gone to Biden anyway lol
Young voters shocked that young voters didn't turn out coping hard

Hahahahaha imagine spending 600 million dollars and only winning American Samoa. What a dope.

He actually has a higher net worth now than before he announced his campaign.

The GDP of Am Samoa is literally $600M.
1 Burnnoticelover 2020-03-04
That’s 11 grand spent per Samoan he could have just offered $10,000 for each of their votes and come out ahead.
1 texanapocalypse33 2020-03-04
He didn't spend all that money in only Samoa. Why do redditors think this?
2 TwoTriplets 2020-03-04
It's the only place he won though. That's how we are framing it.
1 Burnnoticelover 2020-03-04
Then it’s even more embarrassing because he got even less of a return on his investment.
1 dan_the_baker 2020-03-04
He spent 600 million to prevent 55 billion from potentially getting taxed out of existence. How is that not a good deal?
