Can someone make a startup that allows me to do this as an individual?


Join Bluesky and you too can lie about whatever you want.


It's called a "farm" (note the quotes). You may need a few acres of very cheap rural land, and some chickens. The IRS loves chickens

Or even just bees: https://mountainsweethoney.com/state-guide-for-beekeeper-tax...


Join that startup as a founder, have a million+ exit and you will have the capability to do this as an individual.


Don't be poor, got it.


Good life advice in general really.


Don't know why so many people are so stupid they don't follow such simple and sensible advice. /s


Effective exit rate tax is around 24%


You don't need a startup. Millions of people have an effective tax rate that is 0% and they have a net tax rate that is negative. They do this simply by having no meaningful skills or knowledge.


Individual Meta employees and shareholders couldn't do this either.


But they can. Any Meta employee or shareholder is also free to go on Bluesky and tell lies about taxes.


You can make stuff up even on this site.
