Mark Cuban just became the 2nd most hated rich guy in the USA!

You could name several other metro areas in this country and it would be the same thing. Boston, DC, Bay Area, LA, etc. Just because we live in relatively cheap areas doesn't mean that we can name a middle class salary like that and call it "rich".

this is dumb

are you really saying that 200k will barely make ends meet in NY? in DC? in LA? wtf

i have a feeling you are referring to super rich 10 million dollar home neighborhoods...and if so you can rent an apartment in manhattan for $4000 a month, that is less than 25% of 200k, well within a healthy percentage, gimme a break

or are you talking about driving a fancy car?...what ARE you talking about?

Ever hear of taxes? Food? Clothes? When I lived in Manhattan my shitty car was at my uncle's in New Jersey, so it was my bike, cars, taxis and the subway for me. Remember, he said $100-$200K. I've lived in all the places I've referred and understand the cost structure, have you?

 

[maxiep]

once again, the minority wants it their way, too bad we live in a democracy

so now all we need to do is make poor people too jaded to vote, then all the upper middle class people can get their way

Sweet. My wife and I have decided we want another kid. Please send Drexler. It's two of us vs. one of you. Majority rules. kthx.

 

[jlprk]

I'm glad I read this thread just in time. Yesterday the boss offered me $250,000 to move to Manhattan and I said, "No way man, this guy Maxiep says that I'll come out ahead making my $30,000 in Portland."

So they gave it to that dumbshit Lorenzo. I've never figured out why Lorenzo keeps moving up and I don't.

 

[huevonkiller]

Cuban loves Fox Business channel, calm down people lol. He's still not a die hard demy. I saw him on Cavuto and he kept slurping that guy up.

Mr whatever, your strategies have failed in the international political economy. Do a little compare and contrast with other failed countries, before suggesting random stuff.

People hate when rich folks like him and Buffet come out in favor of higher taxes because it shows the flaw in their logic that voters are in favor of the tax increases simply because others bear the burden and not because they think it is best for the country.

I mean two unfunded wars and a record deficit/debt is a great time to give record tax breaks to the rich. How about we raise taxes and cut spending, get out of the wars, then when things start to stable cut taxes again.

Dude, jesus nobody cares man. Buffett is a hypocritical brat who is dodging 1 billion dollars in taxes owed. Lol what a troll he is in this discussion.

And? More white people collect welfare than other minorities. Not to mention it is just a tangent, most minorities that don't get ANY welfare at all, do better. This includes Chinese-Americans and immigrants who are also Black.

Congress mostly has zero background in economics, it is pretty obvious why we are struggling financially.

 

[huevonkiller]

Most people should not vote, it is as simple as that. I'm happy whenever some lazy uninformed guy stays home on election day.

Are you out of your mind? Making $100-200K in Manhattan barely makes ends meet.

I'm Libertarian, and I think this is a bad argument.

People that make 30 K a year are well off, you need to remember what it is like for other countries.

Nonsensical tax strategy. Why cut taxes at all in good times? They're supposed to be good for the economy at all times, by generating "Revenue". If that even makes sense.

What do you think people do when taxes become superfluous? They move to other countries, the richest and best corporations bail out. Do some studying on how they affect behavior historically, nobody cares about your random theories until you use objective evidence. Marginal tax rates fluctuate throughout our history, pick up a book or something. This isn't philosophy class.

sorry, once again majority rules, the rest of the world is on my side so its like infinity billion vs two, i win... you can always just have sex with your wife though, it wont kill you

 

[Natebishop3]

In what world is 200k a year "middle class"? That's fucking hilarious.

 

[maxiep]

Link?

But I want a kid right now. I don't want to put up with the pregnancy, stretched out vag, the sleep training, etc. I want all the benefits without the detriments. Hand him over.

 

[maxiep]

First, you said $100-$200K, not $200K. Second, which other places have you lived?

 

[Natebishop3]

POW! Right in the kisser!

http://www.averagesalarysurvey.com/article/average-salary-in-us/15200316/income.aspx

The median income in the United States is $46,300. Statistics shows that 50 percent population live on $46,000 or less a year.

Statistics from MyBudget shows this average salaries in US:

* Top 0.12% of people in US earn median $1,600,000/year
* Top 1.15% of people in US earn median $250,000/year
* Top 3% of people in US earn median $200,000/year
* Top 5% of people in US earn median $166,000/year
* Top 10% of people in US earn median $118,000/year
* Top 15% of people in US earn median $100,000/year
* Top 20% of people in US earn median $91,000/year
* Top 25% of people in US earn median $80,000/year
* Top 35% of people in US earn median $65,000/year

The top 3% earn 200k... how is that middle class?

 

[Natebishop3]

First, you said $100-$200K, not $200K. Second, which other places have you lived?

I've lived in LA, Chicago, and Portland. Every city has its super high priced areas that require a huge salary, its middle of the road areas where people can live comfortably on 40k-60k a year, and its low income areas where people make less than that. Portland isn't super expensive, but it sure as hell isn't cheap either. Not anymore. My parents paid 10k back in the 80s for the house I'm living in right now. It's currently worth around 180k-200k. It's a simple two-bedroom single story home. If I was making 100k to 200k a year I'd be living in a 4 bedroom home and driving a significantly nicer vehicle.

sorry for your luck with the stretched out vag

you are going to have to buckle down and throw your hot dog down that hallway if you want another kid though

 

[3RA1N1AC]

well theres the super rich, and the super poor...everyone else is in the "middle"?

Sure, you could live in Gurnee and work in the Loop or live in Riverside and work in Century City. Mind you, a job that pays $100-200K generally means at least a 50-60 hour work week. Care to add those commutes on top of that? Your position is simply not realistic.

 

[maxiep]

Clearly your boy was delivered via c-secton.

Nope. Majority rules. Send him over.

Nate said $100K-$200K. Suddenly to make you all feel better about your unsupportable position, you now talk about OVER $200K. It won't work.

Did you not see the info I posted? 50% of the people in this country make 46k or less. Only 3% make 200k, 15% make 100k, etc. You can't base the rest of the country on Los Angeles and New York. Those are the two most expensive cities to live in, short of a place like Palo Alto.

I saw your info. You're the one trying to use something as simple as income as a basis to decide who's rich. I have been arguing that it's not that simple. For example, if I make $100K in Fargo, I'm rich. However, if I make $100K in Manhattan, I'm living paycheck to paycheck.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

wait whats the vote as of now? i just asked everyone i know, im up 100 million to 2, hotdog meet hallway

huh? what is this i dont even

 

[3RA1N1AC]

However, if I make $100K in Manhattan, I'm living paycheck to paycheck.

not true at all

unless you were living beyond your means that is, but the same could be said of 100k in fargo

lets say 150k to be in the middle of the numbers YOU suggested, thats 10k a month after taxes give or take...4k for housing is plenty...that leaves 1k for a porsche and insurance, 4k left...1k a month for new clothes and groceries, gotta stay fly and fed...3k left....health insurance(although i would bet a 150k job would supply that) lets say $600...2400 left for oil changes, brunches, hookers, eating out and a 3 night crack binge...

now if your argument is that this person has a family of 5...maybe they should commute and save a couple grand

By and large, 100k is rich in most of the country, which is the whole point.

What exactly do you know about my former colon? Give me some details. On the other hand, you have supposedly lived in every city in the United States and most of Europe and love to name drop at any chance. Clear signs of a blowhard.
