📓 Blog Post – On Rich People, Charity, and Taxes

By Chaos Samuel

People love clowning millionaires and billionaires.
“Why don’t you give more?”
“Why not donate until you’re broke?”

Like being rich automatically makes you a walking ATM for the world 🏦💸.

Let’s break this down. 🕵️‍♂️

🏛️ Taxes 101

Corporate tax? About 25%.
Reasonable, honestly. The government takes a quarter of profits before a penny even reaches the person who built the company.

Personal income tax? 45% if you’re in the top bracket.
Also fair — maybe the idea is: the more you earn, the more you should contribute. 🤷‍♂️

Put those together, and you’re looking at nearly half your income gone.

Add 5% more and you might as well just call the government your business partner.
👉 You work, they invoice.

🧾 The Endless List of Taxes

And just to be clear: taxes are your duty as citizens. Pay up. ✅ Even if its painful.

But the sheer variety of taxes? It’s like they got bored and started taxing random things just to see if we’d notice.

💸 Income tax
🏢 Corporate tax
🛒 VAT
🏠 Property tax
📈 Capital gains tax
⚰️ Inheritance tax
🖋️ Stamp duty
⛽ Fuel duty
🚢 Customs duty
🏘️ Council tax
🌍 Carbon tax
🚬 “Sin taxes” on cigarettes & 🍺 alcohol

At this point, what’s left? hopefully they dont tax the air we breathe. 🌬️💸

💰 Where All That Money Goes

As to where all that money goes? 🤔
Roads 🚧, healthcare 🏥, schools 🎓, bombs 💣, potholes that somehow never get fixed 🕳️… take your pick.

Oh well. They are the law.
And in theory, they’ll use it to make lives better.

Which means: that’s charity in and of itself.

If a person chooses to give after that, it should be because it’s their choice — not because they feel obligated to.

Especially in a democratic system, where you all voted for leaders and passed laws to help each other by force. Cool. 😐👌

💰 The Part Nobody Likes Hearing

You force some people to be saints. And then what happens?
They move wealth offshore 🏝️.

And when they do, you clown them for “avoiding taxes.”
But most of you don’t even pay 45% yourselves. So why should they pay more just because they earn more?

🏝️ “Evasion” vs “Strategy”

Let’s define it real quick:

❌ Evasion = lying, hiding, not reporting. Illegal.
✅ Strategy = moving wealth where laws are simply better.

Don’t blame the player 🎮.
They’re just playing the game better than you.

🛑 The “Hoarding” Myth

“They’re hoarding wealth!” Nah. It’s theirs.

They’re not hoarding, they’re holding what they built or won.
If they’re already paying the required tax, you have no right to demand more.

If they give beyond that, it should be by choice. Not mob pressure 👀.

Nobody can help everyone. That’s just facts.

And if you are the kind who claims this is them being selfish, you better be damn selfless.

Anyways, If a wealthy person is dodging taxes illegally? ❌ Drag them.
If they’re paying what’s required, or even moving legally to pay less?

✅ That’s not evasion. That’s strategy.

And if you don’t like how the money is spent? Honestly, that’s a you problem.
Stop yelling at yachts 🚤. Start yelling at politicians 🏛️. They’re the ones deciding where the “charity” goes.

And honestly? Complaining won’t get you anywhere.
Take the rich for example — politics is just a game to some. Some don’t care at all.

I barely care myself, I only know the basics. But the difference is: the rich don’t sit around whining.

If a country messes up? They pack their bags and bounce. Simple. Money makes that easy you know. ✈️💼

And honestly? To those complaining, it won’t get you anywhere. Take the rich for example — politics is just a game to some. Some don’t care at all. That’s called political apathy by the way.

I barely care myself, I only know the basics. But the difference is this: the rich don’t sit around whining. If a country messes up? They pack up their bags and bounce. Simple. Money makes that easy you know. ✈️💼

But here’s the flip side nobody likes to admit: people in politics do carry heavy burdens. 🎒 Some genuinely shoulder responsibilities that would break the average person. Respect where it’s due — that seat should belong to saints 👼, the kind who serve selflessly. Problem is, not everyone’s built like that.

Some enter politics just to eat 🍽️, chasing the bag until they drown in corruption — never realizing the weight of the responsibilities tied to the role.

Oh well. Who cares? 🤷‍♂️

🕵️ Privacy, Registers & Ghost Moves

And when I eventually play this game? it will be on my terms. 🎭
Still, that's gonna take a while.

After all — I don’t owe the public transparency. Maybe to relevant authorities, sure. But putting your name, DOB, and address on public records? Yeah, I’ll pass 🫡.

That’s where offshore trusts come in 🌍💼.
People hear “offshore” and instantly scream “shady.” 🙄
But opacity ≠ corruption. Sometimes it’s just protection.

⚠️ But don’t ever think you’re invisible. You’re only masking yourself from the public. Those who created these systems? Yeah, they know. Without a doubt.

👉 No one is above the system. Some are just major developers, that’s all.

And those setups? They’ll cost you. A lot. 💸🔥
Plus, one misstep and you leave leaks behind.

So to those who choose to go private → Keep some distance, and play the game smart.

🎮 Why I Call It a Game

And as to why I call it a game? Because it is.

Some enjoy the process, some don’t. Either way, everyone has to play. The only difference? The mode of playing.

Easy mode = born rich with connections 👑
Moderately easy = solid support system, a few lucky breaks 🍀
Normal mode = average grind, average results 🛠️
Hard mode = stacked against you from the start 🥵
Hell mode = everything’s on fire, and you still gotta move 🔥💀

That’s the reality. Doesn’t matter what board you’re on — the game plays you if you don’t learn how to play it back. ♟️

👩‍💻 Sole Traders vs Companies (UK example, but applies anywhere)

As a sole trader, HMRC will know who you are — so does the government. You’re basically in their system. Cool. ✅

But when you register an LLC (or Limited Company), someone has to be the corporate director. Guess who that is? You. Exactly. 👀💼

And with an LLC, that list sits on a separate public record — Companies House. It’s not like your face will be plastered everywhere, but your name, date of birth, and address? Public. 📝

If you put your home address, expect constant knocks 🚪. Even if you only list your name and age, bear in mind: in this digital age, someone with enough curiosity can track you down with just that. 🕵️💻

So if you’re okay with just your name and age being visible, cool — but know the risk. If you’re not? Use a professional address. It’s literally the cheapest form of peace you can buy. 🏢✉️

That’s why some people go private with offshore setups 🌍💼. Not to be shady, but to build distance between themselves and the public. Privacy isn’t a crime — it’s a strategy.

⚠️ But like I said before — don’t think you’re invisible. You’re just masking yourself from the public. Those who built these systems? They know. Always.

💸 LLC Reality Check — Welcome to Quarterly Fun

And here’s the part no one screams about on TikTok:

As a company, you don’t file tax once a year like a carefree pigeon. You deal in periods — Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4. Quarterly estimates. You pay periodically. 📆

That means you’ll want an accountant (or they’ll want you). Because accountants are paid to pretend they can see the future and guess how much you’ll earn this year. Guess wrong? You might be cooked. 🔥

So if you start an LLC expecting instant glamour, remember: admin, forecasts, quarterly payments, and accountants who charge for clairvoyance. Not fun. But necessary if you scale.

🥣 Failure Breakfast & Business Nihilism

So here’s the thing. I’ve eaten failure for breakfast so many times it’s basically a lifestyle choice. 🥣💀 Sometimes it was crunchy, sometimes soggy, always educational. Call it perseverance. Call it being annoyingly stubborn. Either way, I’m still here.

Luck? Not much. 🍀
Hustle? I’m on it. 🏃‍♂️💨
Efficiency? That’s the upgrade I actually want. ⚡🧠

Deep down? I will be rich. Without a doubt. 💰
It’s not being cocky — just stubbornly certain.

But my goal? The bag is not the goal. 💼
The bag is just a tool. Peace is the goal. ✨

Peace, while living in the best luxury money can buy. Not “old money” antiques 👴🪑, but modern, minimalist, quiet luxury.

Loud flexing = insecurity 🚨
Quiet flexing = peace 🕊️

If I’m sipping Fanta in a penthouse with silence around me? 🍊🥤🏙️ I’ve already won.

📊 Success & Reality Check

When people speak of side hustles then say “start a company”…

😂 I laugh inwardly.

You haven’t even started yet, and you wanna go corporate?
That’s just unnecessary tax if you’re only pulling a few thousands — maybe a few millions.

Be a sole trader first. Don’t stress. Whether you’re a TikToker, YouTuber 🎥, a florist 🌸, or a random freelancer.

If you do want to go bigger? Cool. But scaling means fierce competition. The market will exist with or without you. So be unique.

And always — ALWAYS — have a backup plan. A normal job to fall back on. Because your company? It could bust anytime. 💥

📉 Success rates:
20% make it past 1 year.
Less than 50% survive 5 years.
The rest? Graveyard. 💀

That’s why the top percentile are called the 1%. Some through luck 🍀, some through brutal work 🛠️, some through sheer perseverance 💪.

If you’ve got none of that? Respectfully… sit down 🪑.

And unlike most people who keep chasing the “get rich quick” dream — sad reality, most won’t. 🚫💰 I’d rather play the long game. I’m 18 now. Give me at most a decade, and I’m sure I’ll have made something of myself. Maybe less. Who knows? ⏳✨

🚫 Ego & Oversaturation

And if you’re one of those kids who think dropshipping or being an influencer will make you rich?

You’re looking at it wrong. It’s oversaturated.

Could it work? Sure ✅. But don’t inflate your ego.
Depression will swallow you whole if you do.

And don’t compare yourself to others. You’re you. They’re them. Just do you ✨.

😂 The Cheeky Bit

Man, this is way too much info right? You should be paying me for this. Admit it — your tax lawyer charges £500 an hour for less, right? Just kidding… they’re professionals, go meet them if you need them, or you could teach yourself just like me instead — get ready to drown yourselves in books, videos etc. You have the whole internet.

⚖️ Bottom Line

And here’s the ruthless part: if you ever become big enough to be noticed? Be prepared for sabotage. People copy, drag, plot. Don’t flinch. If necessary — be ruthless. But ruthless with ethics. Keep your morals.

Use people as examples if they cross you — not for cruelty, but as a warning. Fear is a tool. Respect is the foundation. Fear keeps the wolves at bay. 🐺

And if it’s me you come after? May God help you. I’ll use every tool at my disposal to ruin you. Law, receipts, invoices — I’ll sue what’s possible to oblivion. Your wallets will bleed. ⚖️💼🥶 That I can guarantee.

…But let’s be real: I ain’t there yet. 😅
I barely have enough for a McChicken and a Fanta, let alone a legal war chest. 🍔🥤

So until then? Freelance for the McChicken fund. Play the long game. Patience is a weapon.

💡 Final Advice & Life Beyond the Bag

At the end of the day, life is just a journey of experiences. 🌍✨
We’re self-aware — and that’s rare.

So ask yourself: how do you actually want to live?

And if you know you’re not built for stress, problems, constant fire-fighting → entrepreneurship isn’t for you. And that’s okay ✅.

Be a great doctor 🩺.
Be a sharp lawyer ⚖️.
Be a brilliant software engineer 💻.
Be a teacher who shapes generations 📚.

Don’t let anyone shame you for that. Your job matters 💼❤️.

If you’re fine with an average salary → that’s cool.

We’re all paving the path in our unique way — and eventually, others will succeed us when we’re gone ⚰️. That’s life.

Every path matters. They all matter.

The question is: are you living life on your terms, or on someone else’s idea of success?

👉 Try your passion — but be business smart.
👉 Have a backup job or just a regular one.
👉 Be patient.
👉 Be unique.
👉 Don’t inflate your ego.
👉 Document everything.
👉 Respect the game. Play it clean when possible, ruthless if necessary, and always keep your morals.

If this sounded harsh — good. If it sounded honest — also good.
If it sounded like chaos with a plan? Perfect. That’s me.
