poors of reddit upset at the notion that maybe squeezing all the money from billionaires 
isn't actually a sound economic policy

Here's a funny bit where this r-slur things his bonus is taxed at a different (higher) rate (it's not, he's just r-slurred, it's withheld at a different rate, but at 25% not 45%)
R-slur trots out the "Billionaires don't pay any taxes" argument again, but this time someone points out how r-slurred he is
And finally, an r-slur who COMPLETELY misses the point of the simplistic meme and doubles down when it's explained to him (notice how the rational poster has like no votes)

It's like he's conjured up some weird formula in his head where if you take 20% of something it is somehow more than 100% of something.

I think he just fundamentally doesn't understand the difference between assets and income. Probably because he's always spent 110% of any money he's earned in his whole life so he's never had any real assets (like shares in a stock or mutual fund).

You mean the billiomares don't make 2.5 Trillion every year that we can collect as taxes?
Not like they invest the money in other shit (like technology) which increases liquidity, we should give it to DHS so they can hire 20 more political appointees that don't do shit because increasing consumption and contracts to government stapler manufacturers will make things better

I think they're actually overstating the usefulness of income. Seemingly something along the lines of "if they have $1,000, if we take $200 a year for the next 10 years we'll have gotten $2,000" without taking into account the $1,000 balance actually goes down.

No he thinks billionaires make more money than they have saved, which is probably true for poors like him who live paycheck to paycheck.
