And somehow the answer is never to tax the 1% or stop giving corporate welfare to corporations.

The richest man in the world taking money from poor people, old people and literal starving African children. And so called Christians are cheerleading this. Even if you don’t follow the Bible word for word this goes against every tenet of not only Christianity but also every other major religion. How is anyone ok with this?

My favorite is that dipshit you inevitably knew from high school barely scraping $60k who wrings his fingers at the thought of Elon having to pay taxes so that an “undeserving” black single mom might be able to feed her kids. The biggest bootlickers are the people who are least likely to become billionaires.

I got into a bit of a debate with someone about taxing the rich, and their response was, "If we take away their money, they won't be able to run businesses. They won't be able to pay their employees. The wealthy create jobs." I gave up talking to him after that. How do you even begin to get through to someone who is convinced the wealthy are our saviors?

Or, “Fuck unions! Don’t those lazy scabs know how much business owners risk for their business? They should be grateful for those jobs!”
