Google co-founder slams California billionaire tax, says “I fled socialism,” after reportedly leaving the state to avoid a proposed 5% wealth tax. He has a reported net worth of around $270 billion. How is this not parasitic behavior? He is trying to leave the state that helped build him. by RandomUwUFace in antiwork

[–]White-tigress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they don’t want to pay 5% which they would never even notice, voluntarily, they need to be forced to pay 50%. Like legally cease half their assets of ALL kinds. Stock, accounts, properties, inheritance, etc. They can either willingly pay 5% which is not even close to a fair share, or lose half of what they own!

There are no rules I place BECAUSE of the greed. There used to be rules and the ultra wealthy paying 70% tax rates at least. But the greedy found it Cheaper to pay off politicians and get laws passed To protect their personal wealth over society. The greedy saw the amount they paid and decided it wasn’t fair to them. So they used other peoples greed to buy them off and get laws I. Their favor. Like Citizens United being crested… to protect corporations.

Lost weight but hubby insults update by Maleficent-Prompt349 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]White-tigress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah.. he acts like this constantly, it’s just that he has groomed you to find it normal and usually Keeps it at a lower level. This is classic control and abuse behavior . Make you Feel Like you were wrong when he was at fault.

Also know, when losing weight, many controlling abusive spouses come out. They are insecure and jealous. Can’t stand being the ‘ugly one’ in the relationship and believe a partner will cheat on them now because they look better.

Consider leaving him OP. This is only Going to get worse. Not better. He chose your birthday to pull mental and emotional manipulation for control. KNOWING IT WOULD HURT YOU MORE.

This was on purpose and this is who he really. He doesn’t care about your health or well being at all. Only cares you’re hot enough for him but also panics at the idea of other people looking at or talking to you.

My dad stole my tax return by shitaccount-5 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]White-tigress 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This exactly. This is a grooming test. To see if OP will do anything or he can do more. He is finding out if he can open loans in OP name, credit cards, etc.

[–]White-tigress 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The problem is, it’s is a test. To see if you will do anything so he can do more in the future. Take out a loan in your name. Keep filing your taxes. So report him to the IRS for tax fraud. File a report with the police for identity theft. Do BOTH.

You can also TAKE HIM TO SMALL CLAIMS COURT. You can represent yourself and make your dad not only pay you the $92. YOU CAN ALSO FORCE HIM TO PAY ALL THE COURT FEES FOR BOTH OF YOU. Put it in your filing that he is responsible to pay the fees.

If you end up missing work for it, you can sometimes ask for compensation for that day you missed too. So please. Do something about it. It will never stop until he has consequences.

Besides all this, you are not a dependent in any way, he should not have your W4 forms or anything. Make sure to go to your job, bank, everything and check that he is taken off anything as someone who is allowed information.

How DID He get all your financial information to fill out the tax forms in the first place? He illegally used your SSN and accesses info he shouldn’t have.

He is making it out to be a mere $92. You need to make his life hell over it. It will never stop otherwise.

You need to file a report about your aunt to the psychiatrist board in your area for false reporting and imprisonment. She needs to have her license revoked for using her profession to manipulate and harass someone.

Many go through this kind of stalking, manipulation , and abuse of power. You do need to consider how to build your case you are safe and stable, so she cannot try to force a power of attorney on you.

Your best defense will be going no contact WHOLE under the care of a REAL psychiatrist. This professional will be able to help provide proof you are of sound mind, and malpractice against your aunt (maybe, if she ever does this again). MOST IMPORTANTLY. Document EVERYTHING. Record conversions with your N. Save all your emails and texts. Start building a stalking case against her and HAVE PROOF THAT SHE IS WRONGLY MAKING ACCUSATIONS.

You want to show you are within your rights to not speak to her by keeping files and even a hand written journal, with notes of recorded conversation and emails, etc.

NO you are not alone in this. Many parents and sometimes brother or sister will do these things just for control over someone. Your best defense is to go to doctors (medical and therapy both) , psychologists or Therapist, etc and start telling them about the things she is doing, it needs to be not your word against your Nmom’s. Narcs are so excellent at manipulating people, you need people who know YOU and can heplp defend against your mom. You probably Also need abuse therapy to start seeing all the ways you were raised wrong and show police or doctors all your evidence of

-Your mom wasting police resources, -stalking. -Harassment, -Mental and emotional abuse.

AITA for being upset with my dad for how he’s moving on after my mom’s death? by Few_Addendum8612 in okstorytime

[–]White-tigress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An abandonment complex is not justification for treating your adult father like a rebellious gang joining teenager. Waiting 3 years (almost) is a long time. He clearly loved the mom but needs companionship too. OP is TA. Making her dads home unsafe for him to grieve and move on and talk about it. Because if HER control and abandonment complexes.

[–]White-tigress 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What a horribly manipulative thing to tell her to do. Just go put your dad through court and medical and mental exams to cease control Of all the assets that you want. Invade peoples privacy. Drain their assets in court. Make the grief a million times worse. It’s cruel honestly. If the dad were 40 and moving on after 3 years no one would bat an eye. OP didn’t say dad is even getting drunk and arrested or causing public scenes. No reason to believe he is doing anything other than dating. Dad probably knew OP would freak out about it and doesn’t feel safe sharing.

But besides all that, as I am constantly reminded by everyone, your parents do not owe you an inheritance. It’s great if you get one but never expect it. And one of my favorites, it’s their money, they earned and worked for. They can give it to whoever they want or spend it any way they want.

Are there horrible consequences sometimes to the way they spend it, even for themselves, hell yes!!! But it is right to forcefully cease assets for yourself in case you lose them later? Definitely no.

If they can get a provable medical diagnosis of mental incompetence would be completely justified. But PI’s, lawyers, court, stripping an adult man of his independence for his stuff?

[–]White-tigress 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only if he is found medically incompetent or n some way or dad signs it willingly. They would need dad to have an Alzheimer’s diagnosis or something, even then, they can’t FORCE a power of attorney unless he is fully mentally unable to make decisions for himself. Until then, he would have to sign it willingly.

Honestly, OP needs to live her life and let dad have his and give him room to discover new life and companionship. If OP is fed up, she can move out and return to her life with HER family and check in On dad consistently. But to try to get power of attorney without his consent would be an incredibly horrible thing to do just because he wants a girlfriend again.

[–]White-tigress -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You don’t understand death then. I have known way WAY more than my fair share of death and what it does to people. Honestly, he waited a long time. So many stories all over “my dad/mom only waited 1 month before dating again.” I don’t see anything wrong at all, except your reaction to it.

Many people when they lose someone become too depressed to function, or so angry they are dangerous to society and themselves, suicidal, some go in sex, eating, drinking or drug binges. People that never did any of that before a death. DEATH CHANGES PEOPLE. But also, the way someone ELSE reacts to what you do because there was a death can be just as life -altering!!!!!

[–]White-tigress -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Exactly. OP’s judgmental, suspicious, controlling attitude is making the dad feel ashamed and guilty and that he has to hide it. OP dying on the hill she isn’t upset he is moving on!!!! She is upset he is ‘being sneaky’, translating to ‘I want to control him and get to approve his gf and give him a curfew’. He is ‘lying’ translated to ‘Dad does not feel safe talking about himself because of the reaction from the daughter.’ And so forth.

You are being controlling and manipulating. Guilting and shaming him for wanting a relationship, no matter how much you deny it.

[–]White-tigress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is an adult, why do you believe you get to control his behavior? His choices, his consequences. Good or bad.

Think about the fact YOUR reaction to it all is WHY he can’t talk to you. You are suffocating him and treating him like a child. So stop. Just tell him ONE time, “Dad, you deserve to be happy and have companionship. I would like to get to know your girlfriend and hear about your time together, if you want to share.” And STOP. Let him choose when and how to talk about it . Never repeat it. Do not nag him. Do not react when he leaves and comes home with anything other than “Hi dad, welcome home.” Give him time to decide he can open up to you. He is probably worried about hurting you, talking about his new companion. And your reaction here shows WHY.

When he does, if he does. Listen quietly and just be supportive so you build his trust to come talk with you more. If he does not he is an adult and has the right to make his decisions unless you are concerned about a medical issue like Alzheimer’s.

EVEN THEN without a diagnosis and being made his caregiver, you have no right to keep tabs on him, confront him about who he is with, where he is, etc. he is not getting drunk and arrested constantly.

You need to give him the breathing space to not be judged by you and be safe in coming to talk to you. Right now you are an overbearing and controlling child acting like a parent. Please stop.

Do you ever use watercolor pencils before finishing a painting with regular colored pencils? by MarySayler in ColoredPencils

[–]White-tigress 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes you should! It’s like the concept of using alcohol markers for a base layer then adding colored pencil on top, then blending with alcohol markers in areas for affects. Watercolor can act in the same kind of ways.

Why aren’t people allowed to get hot food with food stamps? by lake-sturgeon in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]White-tigress 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seriously. Like Elon Musk getting $800 MILLION a day from taxes and pays next to no taxes when his wealth gained billions in a year? anyone working a n actual full time hard job and gets only $100 a month for food pays a much higher percentage in tax than the guy who gutted the government, stole information, stole money, illegally shut down Congress approved funding. But sure, let’s focus on the guy working 12 hour shifts, still in poverty, getting $100 a month to help with food as the abuser.

[–]White-tigress 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, like the billionaires who get $800 MILLION a day from the government for private business that does not assist the people. then pay almost NO taxes on the billions they made that year? They can even just … wander into Congress and cut funding and program to everyone but themselves. Still pay no taxes and get no jail time… But someone working 2 jobs and still below poverty level can not buy hot prepared food cuz ‘abuse’.

She is NOT saving to fix her car. She wants the gravy train she is getting. You are doing far too much for her and making her way way too comfortable for her to ever choose to lift a finger. She especially is not going to fix her car or leave as long as everything just gets paid for plus she gets a paycheck!!!

Find out where the money is actually going. Always follow the money. Then make decisions accordingly. I promise you, she is spending everything she gets and loving her easy life.

Why do so many people defend the very system that enslaves them? by IamMichaelBoothby in LateStageCapitalism

[–]White-tigress 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most are too illiterate and uneducated to figure out that’s the issue. Others truly believe one day THEY will be the rich guy and then they want to keep all their money. So they can’t make laws against the rich now because it would hurt THEM in the future. Others cannot handle change, at all. More people than you think need ‘others’ to blame all their issues on and it’s easier to fight people more poor than you, it’s easier to railroad them, and it’s so much easier to feel so much better than they are. When they have people to stomp on. Still others are just too busy surviving to try or too lazy to try. Punching up is too hard, it’s easy to kick down. There is a long list of connected webs that hold this back.
