for more and more ppl the rule is: the more money you have the more you want... i.o.w. Greed rules

Then try a government that has better social ideals than the USA. For the purposes of this post, "social ideals" means NOT trying to passively kill citizens.

Jeff Bezos: Funds his own space program for zillionaires to say they’re “astronauts.” Also Jeff Bezos: Makes workers routinely urinate into plastic bottles because they’re denied breaks. Locks workers in warehouses during hurricanes.

AOC all the way!

The rich ARE the minority!

I got 99 problems, and MONEY is all of them.

Maybe Boeing shouldn't have reduced everything to s**t and messed up their planes for profit.

This is actually true. What's a small bump in life's road for someone with money to handle it becomes catastrophic life change for someone without the means.

Ask the government why it's using our tax dollars to regularly bail out corporations. Ask the Republicans why they always vote to give massive tax breaks to the wealthy. Ask why we haven't had minimum wage increases to meet inflation since the f*****g 1960's.

Of course it is. It's a said reality that so many people have no other choice than to work minimum wage. You know what minimum wage is? The bare fücking minimum the company is obliged to do for you 🤨 Meaning if they could do/pay even less, they fücking would!

Unbelievable. Absolutely unacceptable. What's happening in the US man? Here in Germany groceries are more expensive and there's a housing shortage yeah, but what I'm hearing from the US is just insane.

I hate that you feel you have to point out you are not trying to be socialist. This is realism, not any other ism. The value of a human life is a real and precious thing just on its own and denigrating others time and labour to poverty levels is elitism and slavery under a new name.

Amazon has fired 22,000 workers since 2022, but hey, they just had a private Foo Fighters concert for the upper level employees. 🙄

Imagine if there was a loan where if you could show consistent on time rent payments for a certain amount for a certain period you could get a loan without needing to front a deposit?

The filthy rich don't understand what life is.

I DESPISE the "Food Stamp" bickering. You know who's on food stamps? You're picturing a "lazy" person not working. It's also the working poor (6.2 BILLION for Walmart employees ALONE), those with disabilities, the elderly, and military families.

My disabled wife complained that our checkout person wondered if her (Mich) Bridge card would pay for the 40# box of chicken quarters we bought.."Yes, it would, and I'm sure the taxpayers would be happy you made a smart move like that". Later..."dear, are you aware people judge you for not being able to physically work a 40 hr job? This girl is working and needs help, I'm HAPPY to pay it."

bcuz f**k yeah, regan

That is depressingly true. There are so many people who don't stand a chance from the moment they were born. It's not 'you don't try hard enough' or 'if you really want it, it will happen', it's the lack of access to good food, medical care, education, housing, not having to wonder whether you will be able to eat the next day or where you are going to sleep'. It means that the problems of homelessness, addiction, child abuse, vagrancy and crime will never be solved without a near-complete overhaul of how our society sees its members.

Mo money, mo money, mo money in Damon’s voice

Every damn time. Every new noise I hear on my 17 year old car makes me anxious.

No change required. I'll back you up! WHO would need more than (let's say) 30 Million dollar. For what? Maybe, just maybe it's time to put an end to greed. Maybe it's not a bad idea to set a limit on how much one should posses.

I disagree with the caption, which is unrelated to the meme. Ronald Reagan dismantled decades of progressive tax policies, effective destroying the middle class and sentencing the working class to lives of poverty.

What "should" be happening, is that WE should be kidnapping billionaires until they release a bunch of their money to the rest of us.

And this is why billionaires will vote for trump. They said it themselves, his presedency would make them richer. Why low-income voters will give him their votes, I still don't know.

And never earned any interest on it.

Homer Simpson is "average Joe". Well, he was in 1987 when the show started. Single income household with two cars and vacations! Homer Simpson. That comical figure (which was also comicaly fat at 240 pounds). Maybe something is wrong when Homer Simpson is not comical, but somebody we can aspire to be.

Sometimes i feel like americans only live in america because they can't afford to move (feel free to disagree and argue and tell me im dumb)

Being French I have an idea. Chop chop! :D

I feel like Robin Hood was right with the "make the rich give poor people money" idea because that is just wrong. They don't need all that money, but other people do.

that's what everyone needs! 30 bathrooms!

I know this is a repost. Not cuz I've seen it before, but because where on god's earth is a mortgage only $950 nowadays?

Yes, this is a falsely manufactured inflation being manipulated and driven by large corporations seeking mega profits, it's so damn obvious and it makes me ill every time I think about it.

They had to pass a federal law saying the DR must tell you what a treatment/ appt will cost IF you ask. Why ? Because people were losing thier houses over medical debt so now they can say well we told you that life saving treatment was 200 grand & you agreed. Or you can say I will just die quietly in the corner so as not to leave my family in debt.

Progressive income tax. Takes from people that earn more than they deserve and gives to those who earn less than they deserve.

There's a difference between social capitalism and locust capitalism.

But $15.09 per hour is the interest charge on the school loan to get that masters degree.

So, so many things wrong with this!

I was always afraid of this and told them i was ill but now i know the correct answer is 'none of your business'.

Why would you brag about losing 3 million?

Noam Chomsky once stated that Ronald Reagan's massive defense spending increase was the primary tool for the transfer of tax payer wealth to the upper class. The defense budget gets increased every year. The wasteful spending on the military is the top method of enriching the upper class.
