Koch Bro Grandson Gets Owned (and discovered by internet)

[Michchamp]

Linky.

the lawsuit has created a bit of a "Streisand effect" around this clod, and opened him up to all sorts of mockery.

Personally, I think It's a Darn Shame this uh... person... might not get all the $$$ he may be due to inherit someday because the estate tax still (sorta) exists, right Tom?

He's certainly deserving of every last cent, and will put it to good use, making the sort of clothes Spartanmack probably wears.

After all, private property rights are inviolable and sacred.

Unless they happen to be union contracts, pension obligations, or land values of poor African Americans ruined by industrial pollution. then who cares? Those greedy workers probably didn't deserve those benefits anyway, and I have a few anecdotes about lazy union employees from my Fox News Bot Uncle I can share to prove it. And anyone who lives near a factory spewing petro-chemicals into the air and groundwater deserves cancer. Why not move away?

It's sad how full of envy and bitterness you are just because someone else might get some money you also didn't earn and have no legitimate claim to. I've said it before and I'm sure I'll say it many more times - you are one pathetic loser.


It must really tear you up that this guy who appears to be even softer than you probably pulls more (and much hotter) tail than you ever managed at your AA and Occupy drum circles.

Not sure why you have to get personal and make this about me. I even complimented you on your (presumably) great fashion sense in my post.

For the record, I am extremely glad I am not this guy, and do not envy him at all. Nor would I be even if his fianc?e had not ditched him and kept his ring.

OK, if you say so.

I don't think we need an argument over property rights to agree that this guy trying to make a name for himself as a fashion designer that happens to be too wealthy to go out of business is really an abomination.

Note, that in addition to this drawing being terrible, he started filling in the color, and then moved on without finishing it. The still is from a video, so yes, you do know that he moved on.

That Koch guy is certainly well-fed, but besides that, his being a ginger is a challenge when courting the ladies. Who for some reason aren't attracted to them. Apparently even winning the birth lotto doesn't change that.

The Emily Post Institute

The Spruce

Theodore Einhorn, Attorney at Law

I certainly know what the Emily Post Institute is and who Emily Post was. I really don't know anything about The Spruce or Theodore Einhorn, Attorney; these links just came up on the web search.

Personally for casual wear, I like plain shirts for the most part, my preference is white or grey or - navy or maize obviously; t-shirts preferably with Michigan insignias.

I also like t-shirts from events I've attended or landmarks where I've been.

God-fucking damn. Seriously... just seize it all and redistribute it already.

If you make something so great, you earn a fortune that could sustain generations of responsible spending, I see no problem with passing it down. There is an issue, I think, in the apparent ease of investing once you achieve a certain level of wealth. If the descendants really don't contribute to society, that nest egg should shrink. What specific rules should change is a difficult call, but I suspect that if I dug into the weeds, I'd find a lot of the investment world doesn't serve the ideals of free market capitalism. I'm already like 80% sure hedging should be done away with if the goal of our capitalism is to maximize efficiency.

He isn't the scion of Charles or David Koch, two vile scumbags who are getting up there age-wise, but act like they have decades left where they need to meddle in politics to greedily retain and increase their already beyond obscene riches. Bill Koch, although also vastly wealthy, is nowhere near his brothers' double-digit billions.

I also don't see where the OP referred specifically to himself, but for others less fortunate who are the victims of the unbridled nekkid greed of the 01% and the global corporate capitalists, many of the former who were born or married into wealth and privilege. Not to mention those whose only "crime" is to dare to become unproductive and dependent due to age or infirmity. Those who look down upon misfortune and just being human truly disgust me.

Amen to that. There are a lot of greedy people in this world who are truly disgusting. The Koch brothers have a special spot in hell waiting for them.

I love how it's greedy for someone to keep something that's theirs but it's not greedy to confiscate someone else's property just because you think they have too much. I also think it's funny that you think those who doesn't want the government to seize their property are looking down on misfortune and just being human, like their all evil scrooge mcducks.

confiscating wealth and redistributing it isn't greedy; it's the opposite of greed, don't you understand?

Every society has always had to come to a negotiated way to resolve how the society was gonna pay for the common shit that a society simply has to pay for as a society.

Like the common defense:

And roads and water systems and other shit:

And health care and sanitation:

Somebody, and everybody, to a degree, has to chip in from their own money or wealth or income or whatever to collectively pay for the shit.

So this talk of confiscation, and who is confiscating from whom, sounds like the quibbling of two petulant recalcitrant adolescents who both insist on being unequivocally ideologically right in the face of situations that societies need to address through an adult consensus.

The quoted portion of your post is true. The problem with the rest is A LOT of the people party to this negotiation do not have a seat at the table, so to speak.

to this goofus' credit, he's left everything up, even though twitter socialist bros have branded him "the failson poster boy for an estate tax."

In the end, I guess, You can't really slag on him personally for having conviction in his "dream" no matter how ridiculous it might look to the rest of us.

But still: estate tax. jack the rate through the roof. current exemption of $5.5 MM. that's MORE than plenty for anyone looking to secure education and college funds for grandkids and what not. current rate of 40% over the exemption? put in a graduated rate that increases sharply and goes to 100% at $1 BILLION. Family owned businesses and farms? eh... put something in place that doesn't break them up, but prevents them from being used to pass wealth. I'm not solving all the nuances of the tax code here.

no human being needs - or has earned, or deserves - a billion dollars. that's just silly. get real, guys.
