That blue check feeds his delusions of grandeur like little else. President of the United States, Stephen King, James Gunn, Brad Pitt, hundreds of other celebrities and CEOs and authors and billionaires and politicians: Bob legitimately believes that stupid checkmark makes them his peers.

That's the gist of the entirety of US tax law, and why "tax the rich!" never actually works. Rich people and megacorps can hire teams of lawyers and accountants to navigate every single loophole in the tax code (as well as lobbyists to persuade Congress to make those loopholes in the first place), making any and every deduction they can to lower their tax bill to little or nothing. Make a "charitable" donation here and there, and hey presto, the feds are satisfied!

The upper middle class and the small business, on the other hand, don't have this luxury, so anytime a bigger tax burden comes their way, they're generally forced to eat it. This hurts their growth and benefits the ultra-rich and megacorps all the more, which feeds back into more money in Congress's pockets. Thus, there's little to no incentive to actually fix the tax code and make it beneficial for all.

I remember one of Trump's plans from when he first got elected was to simplify the tax code so that your tax form amounted to a single sheet of paper. Nice in theory, but it would have never flown. Too many powerful interests are happy with the system the way it is, where they can shuffle their finances around and avoid taxes almost altogether while the little guy continues to suffer.

While I fully support simplifying the tax code to be easily readable for those who don't care to read 300 page bills, a lot of it being so complicated is to help people like them. It has to be incredibly specific and technical. An example is dividends- the US is quite simple, which results in double taxing (and fucks over a lot of retirees), where other countries have very complicated ways of calculating dividends because companies have already paid taxes on them. The complication attempts to alleviate double taxing, and more broadly reduce the tax base to assessable/taxable income rather than simply gross income. That requires a lot of different rules, and unfortunately makes tax accountants a neccissity. That's why tax advice is normally deductible too. I would support a massively simplified flat tax where these principles are not used because you just pay 10% on all income, but good luck getting that passed without massively gutting the gibber lobby.

The sheer gall Bob displays when mocking someone for not letting go of something he said 10 years ago when his whole raison d'etre is to get back at the jocks who called him gay for liking Mario in high school over 25 years ago is breathtaking. If he were any more lacking in self-awareness, he'd refer to himself in 2nd person.

Don't Yahtzee and that Irish guy who does videogame songs bring in the bulk of their views?
Click to expand...

The song guy (Miracle of Sound) hasn't been with the Escapist for a very long time, since the first time they had big finantial problem. And even then, it was mostly Yahtzee polling the views.

But I just went and checked, and looks like the Miracle of Sound channel is doing fine, and ironically enough, his videos are pilling more views than what yahtzee seems to be doing on the Escapist channel.

But don't take as The Escapist is failing. Sure, if you go to their channel, only Yahtzee can pull views, but not that much either, he averages about 300K, a far cry from his hey day, and the other vids can barely break 10k, but it seems they found a working way with their sbscription model, since they have been adding more people and shows to their roster, and while I can't say I think much of the Escapist content, they did find a way to work around the youtube AD limitations and built their own, profitable, viewership.

And Robert could have been a part of that, because prior to the subscription model that the Escapist adopted, Robert was the second biggest viewed content on their channel, far, FAR away from Yahtzee, but still. And yet, the second thecontract expired, the Escapist booted Robert out of their website faster than you can blink, because the fatass is so toxic with his twitter spergery that it was more profitable to get rid of his ass than to have him and be a constant reminder of his shitty takes poluting the rest of the content.

Good job fatass.

It pains me to say this...

But Bob is right.

Anybody, at any income level, can donate extra money to the government. So I for one do not believe any of these Warren buffet like douchebags who cry about how low their taxes are but never show themselves paying the extra they THINK they should.

If you're rich, then put your money where your mouth is and pay what you think you owe.

I wonder how much it would irk Bob, that this was a prime Rush Limbaugh talking point, telling whiny "undertaxed" liberals that, if they wanted to, they could write the check, donate money to the IRS!

Apparently the Washington Times is somewhat of a conservative-leaning paper, at least that's what I gathered from what Rush Limbaugh said back in the day. Therefore, Bob thinks he's taking on a full blown non-person MAGAnaise Ghoul here.

Bob would smugly retort, "They didn't FIRE, me, friendo, they simply didn't renew my contract!" as if that was a distinction with any sort of difference. Bob, face it. Your ass got fired. Nobody cares that it's a contract-non-renewal technicality. The point is, you're no longer working there, but did not quit of your own volition.

What happened? Bobby hasn't made a single tweet in the past 7 hours, usually his peak time. Has God taken mercy on him?

When you're fired, you may qualify for unemployment. Non-renewal grants no such privilege. They don't have to give any reasons or put themselves in any sort of legally risky situation. If I'm suspecting correctly, it was contract work anyway so they wouldn't fire anybody. They don't have to. Unless somebody was fondling coworkers or stealing printers, they wouldn't bother.

Shit, I'll happily admit to the times I was fired. When you admit to it, that's how you learn from your mistakes. But amazingly, learning is BELIEVER™ talk to Bob's stupid ass.

If Bob died or had a really bad thing happen to him, we wouldn't be getting cryptic tweets and shit like that. Bob didn't vanish when he got widely mocked for his debacle with the hotdog girl all over the World, him vanishing over the rape tweet would be unprecedent. Frankly I don't see him quitting the Internet over being called out for his shit, this happens at least weekly and he's still here, alive and breathing. Honestly, must have been the manbaby brother tweeting about some random shit in a very timely manner!

I know!! The razzies folks should have had access to personal medical information of any and all movie stars and people related to production in order to be aware when they are making some jokes over someone's debilitating disease.

I mean, Chris Rock had it coming, how dare he not know that Will's Smith's wife had a hair loss condition instead of thinking that she just had a hair cut that quite a lot of black women use, he deserved that slap.

Fuck off Robert... When it suits you, you go for below the belt all the time, don't act like you actually give a shit about Bruce Willis, who, long LONG before he started making those low grade turkey movies, acted like he never gave a shit about his movies and was a notorious asshole in the filming set.

The Razzies are trash because they have a 1960's Mad Magazine sense of humor, were dead wrong abut a lot of things (giving Razzies to movies like the Shining, which later went on to become venerated classics,) and went woke when Trump was elected, Something tells me that's not why Bob hates them, though. Bob hates anything that pokes holes in the idea of film as a higher artform. He's also afraid that his future adaptation of Care Bears: Paradise Lost: The Reckoning : The Ascension of Grumpy Bear will get trashed after he's convinced some cocaine-addled movie producer to make it.

It figures that the version of Zelda that Bob loves the best is the version where Link acts like a sex pest. Is Bob trying to tell us something about himself?
