Is there any levity?

Also, this image in no way disqualifies me from talking about the middle/upper class because the almost $64,000 biweekly disbursement coming is only about 20% profit.. Just sayin.

Beefy, what do you take home a month?

Well we just recently expanded so from last November until March I was taking maybe 5k a month profit. Now we've expanded to about 200k in inventory and this first disbursement will be about $7k. So this month hopefully around 13-15k.

Your inability to respond to my arguments with anything but liberal rhetoric left you with the only recourse you're familiar with. Posting pictures and pretending my blood pressure went up, so as to validate your time.

I don't use liberal rhetoric; I make sense. You should try it sometime.

Let me live at home forever? Expensive education? I don't know where you got the first one. As to the expensive education, you must be referring to the one year of law school I attended before I discovered I hate wearing pants.

You admitted to living at home with mommy well into your twenties which, being a Jew, surprised no one.

You also stated on RoK that you had finished law school but changed your mind or some such. I knocked you for wasting s hundred k plus degree.

The rags to riches story are my parents, not me. Because I never forget how lucky I am and as a result, why I give a considerable sum to charity.

Arguably the best tax write off besides medical and business expenses. Have you lived in a shelter before where you had to stay awake at night to keep the cockroaches off of you? Have you spent time helping the poor with meals, homes, or even just taking the time to know them?

Thankful pays it forward. Selfish just throws money at it, pretends to care, and then undermines social nets designed to keep people healthy and equal.

As far as welfare is concerned, I'm going to assume you've never been on it and therefore, laugh at you for laughing at my ignorance.

Actually, my mother was disabled and denied Disability for many years, and we had to live on welfare and food stamps. The once month check was something like 280 - 300. This annual amount goes into the average 1980s, earlt 90's income about 7 times. Food stamps, which first were coupon like paper you tore out of a booklet, numbered closer to 150 - 175. In Texas, the reverse was true: money went way down to 160ish, while food stamps went up to 250 - 270.

Whenever my mother had to pull out the foodstamps in line, people behind her would grumble, give us looks, and become suddenly very rude. They didn't know or care why we had them, and as we drove off in our rusted old car with one working window (the other was a plastic bag) missing a muffler, they got into newer Escorts and trucks and so on.

It's easy to look down on people in ignorance.

ROFL, I'm sure you were.

It's true. I was raised Methodist, I was god-fearing, I didn't even swear until 17. Thought homosexuality was unnatural and actively didn't care to learn about them as people. I voted Republican locally and nationally, straight party ticket. It's not that my mother was all these things, but the neighborhood and family members were at the time.

I've opened my eyes considerably.

Well, that little sad religious argument of yours that got thrown to the dumps (predictably) when RH confirmed there is no contradiction between my private beliefs about same sex marriages, and my public beliefs. That was the last time you offered anything resembling an argument and I can understand your apprehension to offer a new one in another debate for fear of more failure.

You mean the thread where I put together all of your own quotes and basically revealed the contradiction of your stance? Your memory is suspect.

And I don't suppose saying "no I'm not mad" would make you believe that, since you need validation.

Ur mad bro.

Oh that's so cute. Because I totally had to hide my Mass Effect wikipedia (there's no torrent tab, it's all wikipedia, nice try though) while making a joke. But I definitely appreciate the pitiful attempts at ridicule, followed by the generic photoshop image. That's what your argument's come down to and at this point, you should just quit posting, because you understand neither irony, nor sarcasm. I enjoyed this, thoroughly.

Beefy, I apprentice myself to you. I want to make large sums of money and do the drugs like you.

Make me your Jewnior.

I don't use liberal rhetoric; I make sense. You should try it sometime.

Repeating something doesn't make it so.

Well into my 20s? I suppose if you discount the 3 years I spent in a college city, I guess so?

You also stated on RoK that you had finished law school but changed your mind or some such. I knocked you for wasting s hundred k plus degree.

Really, making things up now? Is this what it has come down to?

And the unlucky just assume everyone who donates money are just selfish and pretend to care. Very amusing. Not to mention the fact that I've probably done more community service in one year than you've done in your life, and it happened to be in a shelter. But your ignorance notwithstanding...

I don't know whether to believe you, or ask you if you automatically equate change with progress..

You mean the thread where I put together all of your own quotes and basically revealed the contradiction of your stance? Your memory is suspect.

You mean the thread where we debated back and forth that there were no contradictions and RH confirmed it? My memory is just fine. Your insecurities aren't.

Ur mad bro.

Sure

You have to get cut, and hate people less fortunate than yourself.

You know, I started with 1 credit card. 3 months later, I had 10. Anybody can do this shit (seriously).

Financially successful people are just evil! They don't care!

And besides posting my stats sarcastically and ironically (which Renegade failed to understand), the point was any idiot can do what I do (although finding the deals separates the man from the boys). I started using the 1 credit card I had and paid the balance in full 3-4 times a month. That expanded into 10 credit cards and an extended line of credit. So instead of sitting at a dead end job and bitching about how the wealthy or the middle class suck Janus, why don't you attempt to do something that isn't conventional.

I don't understand the mechanics or nature of what it is you're doing, actually. I gather that, somehow, you use the Amazon to acquire mountains of money which you then horde like the infernal dragon you are.

Explain yourself

1. Find items that fly on amazon using your own system or someone else's ( I developed my own).

2. Find those items elsewhere for cheaper and in bulk to justify lower prices

3. Buy those items and sell on Amazon for a profit

4. Increase credit or put amazon cashflow back into the business to increase cashflow.

And you do all this shit from home, in your PJ's?

You DO realize I'm downloading a trainer because I don't want to beat the game the slow way and therefore, in no way am pirating the game? Nice try big boy..

And you do all this shit from home, in your PJ's?

I have a warehouse that I pay for and 1-2 employees, but mostly I do it from home and handle returns from home. I don't want to micromanage and my job is to find the deals. And I don't wear PJs, just champion sports boxers.
