    Uh, the pain won’t be a shared experience. It will be sheer bliss for the owner donor class.

      It won’t even be a shared experience for them either… Some people are going to lose a ton of money.

    “Pain for thee but not for me”, and the MAGA crowd cheers while their pockets are emptied, too.

    How did Berthold Brecht put it:

    Nur die dümmsten Kälber wählen ihren Metzger selber

    (Only the dumbest calves choose their own butcher)

    How does taking money from the poor to give to the rich hurt the poor and help the rich? That’s ridiculous. Woke commie propaganda in my feed.

    Everyone knows the best way to help poor people earn more money into take their money and give it to rich people because rich people are known for spending their money and thusly giving it to poor people.
    If we wrongly focus on taking money from rich people, then they won’t have as much money to give to poor people, so poor people have less money if we let them keep their money instead of giving it to rich people to give back later.

      Rich people are just better at managing money than poor people. Poor people will just spend it on dumb shit like “goods” and “services” which they greedily acquire from their vast network of other poors.

      Much better to have rich people in charge that can properly sequester money into The Wall Street Economy.

        I might be a dumb poor person, but I know what my financial priorities are. A) Medications for my kids, B) The limited edition 1994 Sports Illustrated football telephone.

    Surely this will make less people say eat the rich. It may actually start making people think eating them is to slow a death

    Trickle-down economics will always fail unless three things are true.

    A) there is no crime of corruption taking place with the money that has to trickle B) all the money the rich make has to trickle, it cannot be saved for later or used to buy shit that cannot be resold(like Gov bonds or island properties on the beach) C) money “earned” by the companies production must make its way back to the bottom, u cannot just take billions and give it to other rich people and expect them to do the trickle part. People must be paid for their labor or contributions to the up and trickle down of money.
