SELF-MADE BILLIONAIRE in the US: GIRL, Hold my beer!

Debunking the Myth of Meritocracy Through Systemic Privilege, Exploitation, and Public Subsidies

They call it the American Dream. We call it a rigged game.

Ever wonder how billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos amass unimaginable wealth while paying less taxes than teachers or nurses? This explosive exposé cracks open the myth of the "self-made" billionaire to reveal the truth: a system engineered to funnel power and profit to the ultra-rich.

- Tax Code Scams: Unrealized gains, offshore havens, and "buy-borrow-die" schemes let billionaires pay as little as 1% in taxes-while you foot the bill.

- Corporate Welfare: Tesla and Amazon rake in $38 billion in taxpayer subsidies for stadiums and space rockets, then lobby to crush unions and dodge fair wages.

- Global Exploitation: From Congolese cobalt mines to Bangladeshi sweatshops, billionaires built empires on the backs of Black, Brown, and female labor-then gaslight us with "philanthropy."

Meet the Union-Busting Playbook (Amazon's surveillance, Starbucks' retaliation), the Billionaire PACs buying politicians ($1.9 billion to gut regulations), and the Philanthropy Ruse (Bezos' tax-dodging "charity"). Discover how 70% of the Forbes 400 inherited their wealth, why it takes a Walmart worker 4,000 years to earn Musk's daily income, and why "self-made" is a lie sanitizing emerald mines and privilege.

But this isn't just a diagnosis-it's a blueprint for revolution. Abolish billionaires. Tax unrealized gains. Mandate worker ownership. Redirect $38 billion in corporate handouts to housing, healthcare, and renewable energy.

The system isn't broken-it's working exactly as designed. Let's redesign it.

Juan Rodulfo shreds the bootstraps narrative with razor-sharp analysis, dark humor, and unflinching truths. For more revelations, visit juanrodulfo.com and join the fight for equity.

"A takedown of capitalist mythology that's as gripping as it is groundbreaking."

Your next read after Piketty and Empire of Pain.
