@MorkRock @PieterDuToit @AdriaanBasson @News24 @PieterDuToit, do you at least understand why @News24 is perceived as writing bullshit?

What would be an appropriate explanation for headlines like these?

@GauloisdeP @DeonFosterLEAD @PlanetRugby He had an average year on international level

@RomanCabanac You do realise that you yourself is potentially a PEP (Politically Exposed Person) with a non-zero chance of being debanked?

How do you plan to get around without bank facilities in a cashless world?

[Victor Kotze @OraclisBD]

@MangsMichael @ASZulu I always giggle when white people tell black people how they should feel. They never walked a step in their shoes but say they know what Malema think

Same thing other way around. How can you possibly know what white people think and feel without actually walking in their shoes?

[Victor Kotze @OraclisBD]

@raklamenace @TightFive_Rugby Yes, we hope they do. May this eat them up inside

@Brendennel Before the obsession with ball in play and the impossible-to-enforce laws provincial games could fill stadiums

Everyone one of us saw ourselves on the field. From the short chubby one to the tall skinny one

Now it is technical and only true athletes can compete

@Evolving_Ego @natefishpa @SeekWiser_ People I know decline promotions or overtime saying the higher tax rate means the slight increase in take-home pay does not warrant the extra responsibility

We must be careful to be too progressive. We must also be careful how we define a wealthy person. If could soon be us

[Victor Kotze @OraclisBD]

@Evolving_Ego @natefishpa @SeekWiser_ Also, the situation is not as bad as described. Eg. Bezos pays $1.4 billion in federal taxes only. Musk paid $11 billion. As a percentage of their stock value it may sound like small change but in terms of their actual draw it is not unreasonably low

[Victor Kotze @OraclisBD]

@Evolving_Ego @natefishpa @SeekWiser_ Perhaps increase capital gains and estate tax?

The solution is not to tax unrealized assets such as loans, houses or stock portfolios

Besides, the politicians will never raise the tax of their donors. This is just the normal pre-election noise

[Victor Kotze @OraclisBD]

@natefishpa @Evolving_Ego @SeekWiser_ Exactly. The lender need to pay taxes on their loan by selling assets or from salary (aka wealth destruction)

[Victor Kotze @OraclisBD]

@jaredwright17 He was right - the world did decide. Unfortunately not the way he thought it was going to go

[Victor Kotze @OraclisBD]

@natefishpa @Evolving_Ego @SeekWiser_ Good analysis, thank you.

At the end he still needs to cash out the asset to repay the loan though. Perhaps he can sell the car, but the loan must be repaid. Soon taxes on the loan as well

So now more stock need to be sold to pay tax, driving down price of stock

[Victor Kotze @OraclisBD]

@Evolving_Ego @natefishpa @SeekWiser_ How do they distinguish between a wealthy person taking out a loan to dodge tax and a desperate person who loan to stay afloat?

[Victor Kotze @OraclisBD]

@Evolving_Ego @natefishpa @SeekWiser_ Their stock value grow. And when they cash out it is fully taxable

[Victor Kotze @OraclisBD]

Empathy is easy to manipulate and weaponise

@rugedik @twatterbaas @Celia03956978 The Koi traded with the passing ships and settlers for decades before this was signed. It may come as a surprise to you but the Koi nation is actually intelligent and knew very well what they signed.

As for medium of exchange, it is detailed in the contract

@philosophytweet Is God a who or a what?

[Victor Kotze @OraclisBD]

@Ndo_Cala Are we talking about stealing bread or murder and rape?

[Victor Kotze @OraclisBD]

@BubbatheOG He lost me when he said it does not matter what they did - even a serial killer has the right to live. I fundamentally disagree with this. All rights come at a price

[Victor Kotze @OraclisBD]

@EBee40 Go tell that white beggar at the traffic light how privileged he is.

So perhaps it is more accurate to say that some/most whites are privileged? But a blanket statement like that is factually inaccurate
