And to add insult to injury, whenever the rich so much as stub their toe, there will be endless articles on how that's a collective problem.
Watch them shamelessly prop up stocks with tax money, subsidize fossil fuels, or tell the poors they should be even poorer because that will 'help the economy' somehow.
And then the idiots will repeat the “socialism for the rich, capitalism for the poor” nonsense
Ok, I'm a dumbass. How is that not true? I always saw that as a decent talking point that the government actually is capable of solving problems, they just don't want to solve the poor's problems.
It’s the whole “socialism is when the government does stuff” thing
