Tax the rich
Feed the poor
Till there ain’t no
Rich no moreIncidentally, no
Poor no more
EitherWhat?!? But then how will I know who I’m BETTER than?!?
I have a dream that we will one day live in a nation where we are judged not by the size of our bank account, but by the content of our character.
(Spoilers: we won’t.)
If you ever figure out where that nation is, let me know and I’ll start packing.
There are probably some small remote tribes/communes out there somewhere that follow this.
They won’t accept large scale immigration.
me too, I have packed already. Let me know the gps coordinates please 😄
Real bad news for rich people.
They do tend to be inversely proportionate.
Self education.
I’m stealing your edit
We can, but it requires not having billionaires.
No more billionaires, but everyone can be a millionaire.
The shortest path to equality is to greatly reduce taxes on the middle class and increase them on the wealthy.
It puzzles me why leftist parties don’t all embrace lower taxes for the middle class.

They all do. My best guess as to why you’d say this is that you’re including Democrats.
edit: Or, I could be a self-centered American that didn’t consider others. I’ll do better.
At risk of a strawman…

That’s what’s best for equality and for economic growth. Does this mean Democrats are horribly incompetent? Perhaps it’s that equality and economic growth aren’t their goals.
It’s also possible they’re not from the US. There are dozens of us. Dozens!
Fuck. I’m being a self-centered American, again. I’ll do better in the future. Thanks for the help.
Considering the strains currently on the environment, finding a way forward that doesn’t require continual growth is likely a necessity for our long term survival (possibly short term too)
But, muh’ capitalism!
If it doesn’t work then we’ve killed all these socialists and communist for nothing.
(Do I need a /s here? Is it obvious? Should be obvious.)

Functionally, we don’t have one. The closest is the Green Party, but they’re so powerless that they may as well not exist.
A lot of leftist view taxes as a good thing, when taken from those who can afford them
Taxes have never been the issue. How they are used is. But that gets obfuscated so that the 99% shoot ourselves in the foot
Taxes are DEFINITELY an issue when I pay more taxes than many billion dollar corporations.
Yes. You (and I, and most of us) are experiencing the end result of the American people being played with a deceiving narrative. “No taxes” is a con game to get us to this type of situation
You’re wrong. It doesn’t require no money. It requires that you have rejected the sucker for money.
Only in a perfect world.
This is literally the future Jesus’ theoretical return presents but a lot of (not all) Christians aren’t on board.
Yeah, people have believed in dumb shit like that since our species emerged from the primordial ooze.
Only in any world that doesn’t die shortly thereafter.
This world isn’t going to die.
It’s just going to change.
Our species might though.
Depends on the path we take. They’re after my truth.
i just want a small property with a yard and a couple trees and room to grow some plants and tinker on projects
if only i didn’t spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on avocado toast in my 20s
Take a look at moneybags over here being able to afford avocado toast!
$40 billion per year to end world hunger.
https://www.wfpusa.org/articles/how-much-would-it-cost-to-end-world-hunger/
Man if I had forty million bands i’d do it. Just rip off the bandaid. The world would be a better place.
BUT
avocado toast. 🥑
I doubt that number takes into account corruption.
That was a joke. Maybe end world hunger for a week.
Nope, those are the numbers. The UN isn’t in the habit of publishing satire.
Right now, as we live and die, there’s enough food to keep every human fed, with plenty of enjoyable meals included (not just boiled chicken and broccoli).
It’s about distribution, which is a corporate problem.
Capitalism encourages scarcity so the line will always go up.
It’s the fixed nitrates making this possible. We’re severely over the Earths organic capacity. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haber_process
Distribution is the problem. Authoritarians left and right are the problem. I work for a nonprofit that feeds the poor and temporarily under resourced and the government is our biggest obstacle.
What specific problems does the government cause for this non-profit, exactly? What “authoritarian” policies is this “left” you speak of enacting which harms the needy?
Nah I definitely want both. My current hobbies are expensive. My dream hobby of getting a pilots license and a small plane would be really expensive.
So you want the freedom of getting a pilots license and a small plane.
Wanting to be rich would mean wanting to have more wealth hoarded than you can spend. That’s psychotic and doesn’t sound like what you want
Freedom doesn’t get me one of these plus funds to run it: https://www.racingjunk.com/gt3-cup/184608118/2022-porsche-992-gt3-cup.html?category_id=5896&np_offset=-1#5
So both. For sure.
So you’re saying you want to have waay too much money that other people wouldn’t be able to also enjoy that? You would rather have money in the bank instead of people having food or a place to eat? That’s the rich were talking about.
Again, you just want financial freedom. Which would mean you have enough money to do whatever you want.
Being rich means you want to (esentially) steal money and hide it away from other people who also want to do fun things
What if you used that plane every so often to fly others around? Or perhaps you share it with others like a time share?
It feels like there’s an answer here. I’m just spit balling, though. I’m not even fully against capitalism, I’m just kind of tired of… Well… All the billionaires and dramatic wealth inequality.
Sounds deep but isn’t

Title of your sex tape
Sounds deep but isn’t
lol literally. like yes… that’s the point of being rich. unless you have literal scrouge mcduck fantasies of diving into an ocean of momey
It is shallow, sure. That doesn’t, however mean that it isn’t deep. Money is literally both and that’s because it eats your shoe sole and your soul. Don’t believe me? Good. Don’t believe anything at all. I don’t. I know what I know because I listen to “God” the Devil and the Dead. Six one way half a dozen the other. Heaven is what they don’t explain.
Hold on. I need to thrown the fuck up. Lets deconstruct the evil here. I know exactly what the Devil is saying and why Heath Ledger was murdered by the CIA.

Seemed fairly clear to me.
In 1884, meridian time personnel met in Washington to change Earth time. First words said was that only 1 day could be used on Earth to not change the 1 day bible. So they applied the 1 day and ignored the other 3 days.
I want wealth to be an indicator of a well-rounded member of society, instead of its current role as a proxy for sociopathy.
Also, how about relabelling excessive financial accumulation as something along the lines of ‘financial obesity’.
Obesity used to be a sign of wealth, and confer higher social status. So oligarchs would be introduced as “the biggest, the fattest, the most corpulent of them all, Richie Apartheington!”
I just want freedom period. If that means being rich then I guess I’ll do that
what if it means taking other ppls freedom away from them in the process?
can you provide an example please…
'sploiting workers
u will work yourself to death and make everybody around you miserable
That’s not freedom. Money is always a trap.
It’s interesting how this scene was constructed. The blacksmiths and their table never appear outside except when guiding the one lost blacksmith back home. The old man is usually sleeping in the bar mumbling about his lost son (flute boy) until the pre-credits end sequence where they are reunited in the forest. The text boxes normally have a transparent background, but here it’s a darkened floor tile from Sahasrahla’s hut.
Even more more puzzling is how the imagery has absolutely nothing to do with the message. Like Dr. Manhattan Bobby on the moon complaining about capitalism.
Whoever created this did that. They probably put the floor tile over the original text.
Yeah, at first I thought this could be a rom hack, which was interesting to me. But the more I look, it’s clearly just an edited picture; Link missing his shadow being the giveaway.
Op discovers fiat currency.
Not sure what your point is old man, but I can’t get the freedom that the rich enjoy without being rich.
Deluding myself into a state of bliss when the mortgage is due doesn’t help anyone, especially me.
YEAH! Old man!
What if … there were no rich people?
Then there would be no reason to go above and beyond.
Is… This a real Zelda mod? I want it.

That’s a Bingo!
