I am all for the "Millionaire Tax" and to prove it....
I am willing to become a millionaire. I figure it will take roughly $1.25 million to make me worth a $1 million - so PM me on details of where to send cash or deeds to land or any other such assets. I have seen on certain entertainment outlets with a news format that life is very difficult for you once you get to that level...but I will make this sacrifice. I wont complain and I will pay my fair share, I promise.

Have a nice day!

Pogo: How are our campaign funds?
Albert: We a just short of a million dollars.
Pogo: That's great, how much do we have?
Albert: Nothing.

2. Run for office as a Republican. Suppress any personal ethics and morality....
... feed off your campaign contributions. Use them to buy your own books.



This is known as "Sarah's Model", but others like Herman Cain have been very successful with it.

3. I suggest you skip the first million and start collecting...
... for your second million. I've heard the first million is the hardest and it gets much easier to rake it in after that!

5. It is based on income, not wealth
You need to be making $1M a year, not just owning assets worth $1M. Farmers often own that much in farmland, but are often only just getting by.

6. Shit, many own that just in equipment on top of the property...
Yet family farm after family farm is barely making ends meet.

Thanks, Cargill, Monsanto, Archer Daniels Midland, et. al.

Disgusting pigs.
