This is just peak brainworm. What does someone making nearly a million dollars a year even do with an extra 7k?? Make their scroodge McDuck vault a little deeper? Doesn’t matter how deep it is, you still can’t dive into it like a pool. Idiots.
To be honest, if you’re able to make a million a year (even hundreds of thousands a year), you can afford an accountant who will tell you not to take compensation as employment income.
If you’re a business owner you’ll be taking a significant share as dividends, or if you’re an executive you’ll be taking stock options or other share based compensation. If done correctly, you can not only take advantage of lower tax rates but also defer taxes to future years.
They are alluding to capital gains. If you don’t need money now, you take 50 million dollars in stock, hold it for at least a year, and now you’re paying 15% or less instead of whatever the top tax bracket would be (like 37% or something) if you were to take it as employment income.

Pretend that’s the end of the bracket and it doesn’t increase from there. Now the guy making 100,000,000 gets an extra $700,000
No, you totally can dive into a pile of gold and swim in it and they should definitely all try it. It works better the higher the diving board is.

they use dollar bills instead of gold coins, you can get a cushy landing and swim through it pretty well.
I hope they get paper cuts on their eyeballs.
Supposedly they invest it back into the economy, or, at least that’s what I’ve been told.
Yeah, of course, through stock buybacks and executive bonuses.
Just enjoy being the wind beneath the golden parachutes. 🪂
