Really took me a while to figure out they were trying to make me think of people on benefits rather than shareholders
…maybe if the rich people paid their fair share… both in taxes AND in wages… people wouldn’t be living in poverty… cutting back on senseless wars could help too…
You tax their WEALTH. They make damn sure they don’t get a salary to avoid taxes
Fair share means ending the tyranny of individual ownership of the Means of Production. Taxes are a good start though.
‘people working zero hours a week’
Did anyone else take this as meaning “politicians”?
I read billionaires.
I mean, at this point is there a difference?
Exactly! “Investing” isn’t a real job.
My landlord worked so hard to inherit a third of the properties in town.
I fucking paid my taxes to protect me from poverty if I became disabled… little did I know that disability only pays 11k/year and if you have more than $2k in the bank or in valuables, they take away your food and Medicaid. That $2k asset limit hasn’t changed since 1974. We can’t fix a vehicle on that, we can’t pay our rent, we can’t survive on max $2k at any given time. If adjusted for inflation, it would be $13k. That’s enough to survive on.
You mean investors? Landlords? Capitalists? Retirees on social security?
