it’s time for some communism in your life…don’t you think?
$7.25 went into effect in 2009. Not criticizing the meme, just noting.
The Federal Minimum Wage has been increased twice since 1997, for a total of $2.10.
They got me until the last line
I was sure it said eat the rich, which presumably involves burning them for calories
I don’t think that they’d taste very nice, and I’m veggie. Can we burn them as a source of fuel?
Of course, it’s more important that they be eaten in a metaphorical sense. They’re probably full of microplastics.
However, I think eating them literally is still ethical and vegan
They are usually crusty old men so it counts as fossil fuels though.
They’ll grind up into a nice paste. Add herbs and spices, and pour them over pasta.
tax them with every second of stolen labor from other people’s lives and take it out of their own
unfortunately that would mean all of them would be summarily executed. unfortunately.
@big_spoon I don’t like advocating for evil, but this meme is pure “Oh look, these three found a way to make shitton of money. They should be earning that for everyone else!”
I don’t know… replace the three panels with inflation rate, minimum wage rate, lifestyle quality and it becomes more than alarming in my eyes as well.
Sure, tax the rich *might* be the solution. But those guys couldn’t and shouldn’t give a shit about how much poor people make.
Yeah…
“Tax” the rich.
The rich deserve worse than heavy taxation.
____ them all.
I’m starting to think that feds are spamming the “TAX” idea as a distraction. If you genuinely believe that “taxing the rich” will get us Communism then you need to read more. “The Principles of Communism”, “Wage Labour and Capital” and “The Communist Manifesto” are good starting points.
It’s three words, alright, but the first word are mis-spelled. I think it starts with a “K”… “Ki” …something ?
Tax is a euphemism for shoot, right?
Shoot is a euphemism for feed into a tortuously slow wood chipper or industrial meat grinder, right?
maybe it’s an acronym?
Trying
Alternative
X-ecutions
Tax?
Substitute Luigi for tax.
Why would we Tax Luigi?
I have such frustrations with people that just argue about the little things. And the little things aren’t little things, but it’s like the cart before the horse. Like we don’t have leverage, you know? We don’t have ground to stand on. So why argue about things? Like what about material conditions? Your ability to just fucking live? I mean, we are at a point now in history where it blows my mind that we haven’t revolted by now.
Yeah but Bill Gates is going to give away his multi billion fortune before his death you know! On his own terms and conditions! There are good billionaires you know!
I think we can fit in an exception. “good” billionaires don’t get executed and are sent to live on penal colonies in space under strict supervision with 10 hour work days and no vacation or sick-time. Rest are mulched.
Even then, Bill Gates ain’t a good billionaire. The amount of damage he has done doesn’t even compare to the money he gives away after death.
We’re beyond the mere concept of taxation for these people. What needs to be done to the rich involves a video game where one uses blocks to build stuff.
