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)

they still have so much they wouldn't miss it if there wasn't a number on his balance telling him he lost money.

imagine how much 0.3% of some billionaire asshole's money could help rebuild people's lives.

My response was sarcastic, but also accurate, and yes that tiny bit could do a whole lot of good

It's more that the 401k grew 0.3% the previous. Still growing, still a lot, just not quite as much of an increase.

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!
