But have you thought about the shareholders and the executives? They are the ones that really have it bad!
If only those lazy poor people worked harder and pulled themselves up by this bootstraps.
It's not like we systemically work towards keeping them poor so we can have the power!
Last quarter my 401k dropped by 0.3%! IM THE VICTIM HERE
To be fair when you have that much money 0.3% is a lot of money (for a poor person)
My response was sarcastic, but also accurate, and yes that tiny bit could do a whole lot of good
We can't let the elites got taxed too hard. What if I finally win a lottery and join the elites? My wealth would be sucked dry by the excessive tax!
It's more that the 401k grew 0.3% the previous. Still growing, still a lot, just not quite as much of an increase.
