If 50 Cent’s gonna "get rich or die trying," it’s going to be in spite of Joe Biden’s tax hike.

The “In Da Club” rapper, actor and media mogul bashed Biden’s economic policies and said he may move to Texas for economic freedom in an interview with MSNBC host Ari Melber during an episode of The Beat with Ari Melber.

Mr. Cent, who at one point flirted with the idea of voting for Trump in the last election, blasted Biden’s tax policy and also hinted that he might be moving to Texas, a state where the government is not taxing the hell out of what people are earning.

“His tax plan, I didn't realize I would be paying 62% of my income back to the IRS,” 50 Cent (whose real name is Curtis Jackson) said of Biden’s tax hike on the cable news program. 

Throughout his campaign and already abysmal presidency, Joe has promised to raise taxes on Americans who earn more than $400,000 a year in income. Of course, wealthy entrepreneurs like Jackson feel targeted by such ridiculous policies and now are wondering whether they need to move to new states just to ease the tax burden.
 
The rapper added, “So that does change a lot. New York City will change dramatically. Like they are going to end up moving to different territories.” New York City has crazy high property and income taxes so Biden’s policies will make it all the more inaccessible to a wider swath of residents. And, of course, businesses seek cheaper environments, which is why 50 Cent referenced Silicon Valley moving to Austin, Texas.

“You look at Silicon Valley, it is now in Austin, Texas,” Cent said on air, adding, “So you'll start to see people moving from these places to new places that make sense for them to hold on to just what they are earning, not to have it just taken from them by the government."

The hip hop star also expressed that he’s keen on leaving if Biden raises taxes for the rich. “I'll move, Ari," he told the host. "I'm going to Texas. I've got my cowboy hat and everything. Everything is bigger in Texas. Really beautiful people, nice people in Texas.”

Well, that’s nice of 50 Cent. We’re glad he’s calling it like he sees it, too, and getting his millions of fans -- and the leftist MSNBC mind slaves -- to see that the Biden economic plan is such a damn joke. Look at the rest of Biden’s policies. They’ve been destructive so far, even though the entire administration says they’re working. We could see breadlines in every major U.S. city and Joe and Psaki would say that breadlines are signs of a healthy economy. 

This isn’t the first time that 50 Cent skewered Biden’s economic policies. Back when he was candidate Biden, the rapper posted to social media, “Yeah, [I] don’t want to be 20cent. 62% is a very, very, bad idea. [I] don’t like it!” 

In an Instagram post during the campaign, the rapper shared a graphic of individual states’ tax rates under the Biden tax plan. It showed that the tax rate for New York was a soul-crushing“62%. 50 Cent captioned the post saying, “WHAT THE FUCK! (VOTE ForTRUMP) IM OUT. FUCK NEW YORK The KNICKS never win anyway. [I] don’t care Trump doesn’t like black people 62% are you out of ya fucking mind.”
