      2,000 a month is 12.50 an hour not 25. And here 12.50 is below minimum wage.

        You’re right, my bad. I’d like to blame the bad math on it being early morning… But it’s just me being dumb.

          Don’t apologize, their math is wrong too. That might be their gross pay, but their take home is likely ~2/3 of that.

            That’s fine. How would you expect anyone in a conversation like this to apply taxes? Which city, county and state are you going to use for those calculations?

              Are you purposely missing the point, or…? Seems like you’re just trying to argue for the sake of arguing.

              I’m good.

        Well that’s not take home. They’d prob be taking home around 2/3 of that. So more like 1,300 at $12.50/hour if my quick math is right.

          You realize they pay taxes either way right?

            Huh? I’m just saying that someone making $12.50/hour, working 40 hours a week, isn’t taking home anything close to $2,000.

              And neither is the youtuber which is exactly the point I was making. That theyre being a cunt to other people over what amounts to be a minimum wage job.

              Being a youtuber does not magically make you not subject to the exact same taxes that everyone else is. They are not taking home all of what they made any more than a mcdonalds worker does. In fact, being self employed means you are paying the other half of the medicare/social security tax not just half of it directly with most jobs.

                Please look at usernames, I’m not the person you’re arguing with. I just corrected the person who said people who make $12.50/hr are making $2k a week because that’s absurd. That’s all.

                  1. I was the person you responded to. Check the username and:

                  2. I did not say 2,000 a week. I said 2,000 a month.

                  A youtuber making 2k a month is not taking home more money than someone making 2k a month at mcdonalds. They pay the same taxes. Actually the employer pays half of the social security/medicare tax while the self employed pay the entirety of it themselves.

                    I meant month. Who fucking cares, you were wrong. I pointed it out. Be an adult. Accept it and move on.
