      I don’t really get the picture. Is the steps the opportunitys given by money? I guess it’s drawn inconsistent, but I thought the water that’s diverted from the rich flows down to the poor.

      Is the parent comment bullshit cause it implies not everyone can be at the top of the stairs, only be dragged down the stairs? (Meaning the poor people won’t benefit from rich people being prevented from being billionaires or something?)

        The steps are different levels of wealth and power.

        And yeah, the comment is bullshit for being an oblique reference to the fallacy that increased equality invariably leads to increased poverty, which is the opposite of reality.

        Maybe the rain is the tax burden by income. The umbrellas are subsidies so the rich defer most taxes until the point where they get subsidized. The upper class get smaller subsidies hence the smaller umbrella. The middle class have a high burden of the taxes and the lower class are totally drowning under tax burdens. Only those below the poverty line aren’t shown on here.
