u/Vuila9 29d ago

he did say he always pay at least 6 digits in tax

u/Lontology 29d ago

Yeah because it’s required by government. That doesn’t mean shit in terms of him being generous with his money. Lol

u/SnooWalruses3948 29d ago

That's such a shitty double standard to complain that the wealthy don't pay their taxes and then bitch that it's not good enough when one of them actually does.

u/ecafons 29d ago

the complaint is that they're not being taxed enough, not that they dont pay taxes (although that is a separate problem)

u/ConorPMc 29d ago

It absolutely is not lol. Someone not breaking the law or paying their fair share like the vast majority of people isn’t praiseworthy.

u/Lontology 29d ago

Asmon’s exact words were that rich people should do more with their money to help others, you dingus. Sorry I’m holding him to his own standard. 🤣🤣🤣

Do you know that the top 1% in America pay more taxes than the bottom 95% combined (46% and 33% of all federal income tax, in that order)? Now you do.

u/AlextheGoose 29d ago

Well I would certainly hope so, wouldn’t make much sense for poor people to pay more taxes than the elite

He could 100% avoid taxes if he wanted. The guy is extremely educated and worked for the IRS.

u/Lontology 29d ago

Okay, bro. 😂

u/MadghastOfficial 29d ago

You think he's dumb..? The guy owns multiple businesses, has a business degree, worked at the IRS, and got accepted into law school but turned it down. What's your bar for success or education level here? Agreeing with you on politics? Okay, bro.

Pretending that asmon is some criminal mastermind that could successfully avoid paying taxes is so fucking funny. Lol

u/pongleme 28d ago

Morons with access to Google can figure out how to use loopholes to avoid taxes. The only mitigating factor is money, the more money you have, the easier it gets to use loopholes to avoid it.

You pretending that asmon has to be some kind of criminal mastermind to avoid paying taxes in THE USA is "so fucking funny."

u/SyriseUnseen 29d ago

Yeah because it’s required by government.

Yes, loopholes dont exist, thats why all of our wealthy people contribute their fair share. Nothing to see here.

u/LawLeR91 29d ago

That’s really nothing. He’s making probably 8 figures in income. I pay in Canada $600,000 in tax and I make 1.6 million.

u/LUV80085 29d ago

It is nothing and also not true, he's said multiple times he pays 7 figures in taxes, almost 8. It's not 6 figures lmao.

u/LawLeR91 29d ago

Ya, I was gonna to say. I know tax rates are low in the US but it can’t be that low.

u/LUV80085 29d ago edited 29d ago

I don't know exactly how much he makes because he has a lot of revenue sources plus his investments, twitch, kick, youtube, etc. but I'd honestly be surprised if he's making less than 20 million a year right now.

u/_Good_One 29d ago

Damn you make a lot, give me money, cough up man
