Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

So why don't we look after people if we have the means?
Who has the means? Why don't they share and use their wealth to really help people and create progress?
And why do we let them act this way?
We as in humans, on Earth, right now.
Why? Because we’re under a dysfunctional system.
They don't share it because it's theirs
And this is not okay.
There needs to be limit on how much wealth a single person can accumulate.
Because you want to have a say in other people's businesses
No, because I don't want to live in a world where one guy can roam the oceans on his superyacht while children starve and people die because they do not have "money".
No one's starving in a first world country.

This is like when ahmadinejad said "in Iran, we don't have homosexuals"
Yeah, fuck those other guys over there, who cares about people in far away countries, right?
Seriously, we are a global society, and we need to think globally.
No matter where people starve, we should prevent that. And we can. We just choose not to, because "no one is starving in a first world country".
Not rightfully so
Because you said so
No, because the only reason this wealth exist is because people who make close to the median income put hours of their life into their project (and some gave their health and life for them). Take these people off the equation and the rich are nothing, yet they have more money than all the people who've accomplished all the work will make in their lifetime... combined!
There are arguments based on the moral foundations of property rights that illustrate this
They don't deserve it and they do deserve to be poor.
