50 Of The Most Accurate Capitalism Tweets And Jokes That Prove We Already Live In A Dystopia

This is a tax credit scam. The grocery store makes a donation in their name with all the money collected and gets a tax credit.

The best part is this: They use your donated money as their own donation and write it off on their taxes. So that's wonderful.

It's worse than that. They use your donation as their own to reduce their tax contribution to the community. By all means, donate to charities that inspire you, but use the tax deduction for yourself. Don't contribute to a scheme to help corporations avoid paying their share.

Plus the company can collect the donations and use them as a corporate donation which is tax deductible for them.

They get to claim the charitible donation, and you have to trust that they aren't donating to some homophobic or weird religious charity.

believe in America

people should always have enough to have a working roof over their heads, a bed, healthcare, and healthy food. Work should simply provide to money to improve upon lifestyle. But that would require many rich people to donate money they don't even need, so forget that.

The same way as the human race battle both starvation and obesity.

Work somewhere else

homeless man gets 180 months ceo gets 3.33333333333 years

Wanna know something else? The man was black. A white man raped a woman behind a dumpster. He had a wife and everything. He was sentenced for less than a year. This man, this HOMELESS, MONEYLESS, man, robbed a bank for a measly 100 dollars. Im not saying that robbing a bank is ok, but compared to raping a women, thats nothing. America is f****d

"The Law is an ass" has never wrung so true.

The power of an expensive lawyer...

it's official, humanity is stupid

The brainwashing to get the buy-in is what is amazing.

Let's see... Make 600 donors happy or 45 million voters? ....

Since 1978, executive compensation has increased 1,007%. Standard working wages have increased by only 13%. Exhibit A for "the rich get richer and the poor get poorer."

And the cake is stale AF

this honestly shows how absurd this country is.

how could we possibly sacrifice rich peoples yacht money?!

A living wage would destroy... rich people's yacht money...

In many countries, the economies are being run by people with no experience or expertise in economy.

Bullshit post, we need rich people to buy things made by non rich people

Save the rich people's yacht money!

Try leasing poverty. Go to the laundromat instead of using your own machine, cash a check at Amscot/WU instead of at your own bank, or try some rent-to-own furniture. You'll see just how expensive it is to be poor.

Just move out of the US. The system is very broken there. Clean your teeth? My insurance covers that. So I can pay for a new mattress. Still back surgery? My insurance covers that. That lump? Is gone without anything to pay.

This is like the boot theory. “Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles. But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet." This was the Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socioeconomic unfairness.

This is quite true. A high-end pair of dress shoes are not only expensive, but will also last much longer in the more comfortable environment that surrounds a wealthier individual.

Toothbrushes are pretty cheap, though. I mean regular dental visits is helpful, but almost nobody is too poor to buy a toothbrush. Even if you aren’t replacing it as often as you’re supposed to. But I agree with the tweet anyway. Also if you’re poor, eat more cheese and Trident gum. It sounds insane, but Xylitol is a plant-based sugar alternative that attracts bacteria, so if it’s in gum the gum basically takes all the bacteria out of your mouth. Trident has xylitol in it and is cheap and easy to find. Cheese apparently also helps with plaque-causing bacteria? Idk I had more tooth problems after I started brushing my teeth more regularly.

For some reason lots of people like to attack single mothers and think that because they need a bit of extra support they are a drain on society. What about all the fathers who did a runner and don't help to support their offspring. The pro-birthers don't want women to have abortions but also don't want to help support the child once it is separate human.
