At least since the French Revolution, equality has served as one of the leading ideals of society, yet the further we get into human history, the less likely it feels that we’ll ever get to its truest form. And yet people keep fighting, keep searching for a means of achieving it for the 98% of the population.
The first step—call out the ridiculousness that the privileged are pushing as the norm. The Facebook group called “The Other 98%” has been trying to do just that with their informative yet witty memes and posts. Bored Panda has previously covered the good work they do, so if you’re interested in reading more about that, please click here.
But today, dear reader, we’ve got you some more hilarious remarks on the current state of affairs shared by people sitting in the same boat as the rest of us, whilst the millionaires laugh at their tax write-offs. As you scroll through, please upvote your favorites and leave your opinions in the comments below. Now let’s dive straight into it!

PREACH!! But what does that have to do with money and calling out the rich?
Class conflict, also referred to as class struggle and class warfare, is the political tension and economic friction that exists between the rich and the poor. In the political and economic philosophies of Karl Marx and Mikhail Bakunin, class struggle is a central point and a practical means for effecting radical socio-political changes for the social majority, known as the working class.
Mike Savage noted back in 2016 that economic shifts started to pose challenges to understanding how social classes are changing more broadly. The shifts—especially the wealthy elites pulling away from the majority of middle- and low-income earners—seem to be shaping world events. There is a strong anti-elite feeling across developed nations, and it’s not difficult to see why.

Yes, it's kinda awesome when some rich guy says other people making too much money is a bad thing. Most rich guys don't do that. But at that time he was so wealthy, he couldn't be bought. The Bull Moose did great things for the country, he even took a bullet one day when he was campaigning. He created the national park idea, he fought monopoly, and he wanted to be the guy that instilled the idea that the USA is the greatest country in the world. He was mostly right. F*ck the elephants and the donkeys, we need bull moose energy right now. Obama was halfway there, Trump was trying to be the only gator left after he drained the swamp, and Biden is the guy trying to get enough people on the lifeboat without it sinking, but he doesn't really know. We need another Bull Moose. Someone who is strong enough to help the less fortunate and make the world a better place, and not cower to the whims of corporate corruption. Someone who actually wants to make the U.S. great again.

Before we dive further into these topics, we must touch upon a very important aspect of the current world, and that is the trade war. According to Investopedia, a trade war happens when one country retaliates against another by raising import tariffs or placing other restrictions on the other country’s imports.
Despite Donald Trump’s claim that “trade wars are good, and easy to win,” neoliberal economists generally believe that it is a poor policy choice, as they restrict, rather than liberalize, trade. As argued by Ka Zeng and Wei Liang, the effect of trade wars is uneven and complex.

There have been calls for many in the UK to ensure that at least all the children from low income families get free meals (the income threshold is ridiculous). It hasn't come close to fruition. The US isn't the only government pandering to rich people.

From 19 April 2022, children whose families have no recourse to public funds can get free school meals if their annual household income is: less than £22,700 for families outside London with one child, less than £31,200 for families in London with one child, less than £26,300 for families outside London with two or more children, less than £34,800 for families in London with two or more children or if they are in receipt of benefits such as income support, job seeker allowance, etc. Of the 10.6 m schoolchildren in the UK 1.89m get free school meals. This includes years 1 and 2 which are automatically free. With the cost of living as it is the definition for low income needs rethinking sadly.

And yet everytime corporations lose a dollar of profits, they fire 1000 people. Why doesn't anyone talk about the millions that the corporations saved by cutting back on office space, by not having to provide everyone a desk anymore or a phone, and having the employee now pay for their own electricity and internet so we can work. We could all get our phone, internet and part of our electric bills paid and they would still be saving hundreds of thousands.

Yes because 40-year high inflation doesn't mean anything to anyone.
New trade barriers imposed by the initiator of trade wars will protect or even create jobs in specific industries, but other related downstream sectors will lose due to the higher costs associated with their imported parts and intermediate goods. In addition to creating winners and losers at the domestic level, trade wars will also have an impact on the rest of the countries that are not directly involved in them.
What is it that drives class wars? A common answer is taxation and a seeming lack of fairness. Polls show that most voters across the political spectrum support higher taxes on the rich, with about 80% of Americans saying they are frustrated that very wealthy people and corporations don’t seem to be paying their fair share of taxes, according to the Pew Research Center.

Disgruntled Pelican 2 years ago
Democrats aren’t the ones complaining about helping middle and lower class workers. It’s literally the Republicans who want money given to those who don’t actually need it and who won’t use it to help their workers. The heads of the corporations took that money and still laid off their workers, and cut back on wages and benefits for those who were left. They put the money back into their own pockets instead of the payroll/benefits it was intended for. This was all legal, because that’s how screwed up our system currently is. Democrats are trying to actually help those who need it, and conservatives are suddenly losing their minds over “handouts.” The right is fine with making the rich richer, but god forbid you do anything that will improve the lives and futures of the people who are actually suffering.

In Japan, I pay less for healthcare than most Americans, and yet my healthcare is flawless. No deductible. I pay 1/3. There are caps on the maximum I have to pay per procedure, per month and per year to prevent medical debt. Everything is included. Nothing is left out. It includes medicine and dental. I can go to any clinic I want. I had surgery last year. Was in the hospital 5 days. I paid less than $200. It's sad how many Americans have been brainwashed into opposing their own right to healthcare.

And yet, for whatever reason, it seems like an impossibility. A lot of the wealth that we are talking about is in the form of private business wealth, and therefore, there’s not a readily available market value for this form of wealth on which a wealth tax might be based.
Dirk Krueger—Walter H. and Leonore C. Annenberg Professor in the Social Sciences and professor of economics—argues that if you then impose a wealth tax on this form of wealth, the owners of these businesses might take all kinds of actions to artificially lower the value of this form of wealth.
Furthermore, Jim Powell argued that class warfare is a mortal enemy of economic growth and jobs. At the very least, class warfare means “progressive” taxation—higher tax rates on investors and entrepreneurs, eventually reaching confiscatory levels.

Everyone deserves a 'living' wage. But we need to take responsibility for paying too much for too little. A good athlete deserves a good salary but millions to play with a ball. The Kardashians are millionaires because 'we' hang on their every word, watch every move they make, & buy their products because WHY? I enjoy TV & movies but is one person really worth millions to appear on screen? Priorities are needed.

Better yet, don't eat McDonalds 'food'. It barely qualifies as food.
It seems like we’re all in this together, and yet we’re very much apart. If taxing the rich is not the way forward, then what is, as people that are living paycheck to paycheck have very little to grasp onto. I suppose another revolution is inevitable one day or another, but we shall have to live forth to see it.

A lot has been said about how bad US schools are compared to other developed nations but in schools where poverty is limited to only 10 percent of students we actually test number 1 in reading among developed nations. Our problem is income inequality and an especially high rate of childhood poverty compared to other developed nations. Yet every measure to reduce this gap is often opposed by Republicans (and some Democrats) even when they're proven to work because Americans still believe if you're poor you deserve it, and wealth equality is just some bootstraps away. Nevermind that 20 years of study data says that's not true.

The truth is that American Christianity is not actually Christian and hasn't been for a long time. Do they follow the tenets that Christ laid down as rules for a good life? Like love thy neighbour as thyself, do unto others as you would have others do unto you, and the rest? Nope. They hate and they exclude and Jesus probably weeps looking down at how they've distorted his teachings to suit their prejudices. They've given Christianity a bad name all over the world. The hypocrisy is strong in these ones.
Llama_flower93 2 years ago
I am a Christian and unfortunately I agree with you. There are many Christian's who do their best to follow those core beliefs from the Bible, but many fail to do so. They give Christianity a bad name. But just as we accept anyone deemed by some to be unworthy into our church, we must also accept the Christians who make Christianity look bad. There's no picking and choosing who we let in the church and who we don't. I do not accept their behaviour and beliefs but we have to welcome all into the church, otherwise we are hypocrites. We are all sinners and fall short of the glory of God. Even the ones we might call "good christians". It's a frustrating battle, and I see kind, loving and giving people living out their lives humbly as a Christians as they're supposed to, but people not in Christian circles don't see that as much because it's not made public. It's all the loud, obnoxious opinionated, judgmental people who get all the attention and change the worlds opinion about us.

A lot of American Evangelicals are mostly interested in cruelty and control and christianity isn't so much their religion as the vehicle they use as the excuse and justification for that. But people seem to forget that some of the earliest immigrants to north America were religious extremists who wanted to be able to practice with out judgement or public/governmental interference. So it's not like we don't have a long history of over the top Christian or Christian adjacent groups here. What people do get wrong is the idea that the founding fathers were religious. Many of them were deists not Christians. And yes I know there are lovely Christians in the US. It's just that they're not politically powerful, well funded, and loud the way the evangelicals are.

I want to upvote this but it made me sad. Sad that a happily married couple who are about to have a little baby have to divorce to afford health care. Divorce. We are a sad messed up country

We pay $1500.00 out of pocket per month for insurance and STILL get all kinds of bills on top of it. God forbid you are forced to go to an out of network provider! I wish to hell I was exaggerating! The USA is one f****d up country!

You really should. Smart. No reason to go into tens of thousands of dollars because our health care system is just like our Justice system. Non existent. F(773:d AS all get out

The trade off is that you don't get the same tax breaks. My husband is an independent contractor. He's a truck driver. We are weighing out whether to do this. But then his taxes go up substantially. But it doesn't quite equal out one way or the other because with medical bills, we don't know what they could cost. So we could end up getting divorced so I can get back on Medicaid... all for it to cost More without the tax breaks. None of us should have to choose between being married & being able to have a necessary surgery & long term treatment... of choosing healthcare over cheaper taxes. That's the whole point. This shouldn't be a thing & that's the problem. You say "going into debt" over medical bills... like it's just this normal, totally cool thing that everyone deals with... & you'd be right. Which is also a whole other problem when we pay taxes & yet we don't get to actually benefit from doing so.

It's been discussed in my house. Just to qualify for food stamps and nothing else, would allow us to replenish the little bit of savings that we had last year. I think we would only need six months of assistance to do this.

Yea! Who wants our kids to be able to think critically and delve into the untaught history of their country?? Kids just need to know what we tell them, then do exactly what we tell them. They don't need to know how to think and discern for themselves. (/s)

Yeah, those selfthinkers always just disrupt everything with their complaints and worries about all those things ... animal cruelty, exploitation of people and nature, below-living wages in fully developed countries? And then, they might even refuse to edvolve into a life defined by consumation of overpriced stuff, might reject being selfish, or even ... do things about things. Disrupting everything. They really suck. Only mindless is flawless!

I know children in my middle school who completely rely on food banks for their food. Perhaps some people use it for free food but it is necessary. If you decided to get rid of it you would be hurting thousands of people who are already hurting, whether they be homeless, in poverty, unemployed, or f*****g children. If you'd rather get rid of a food bank because a few people are taking advantage of it over keeping it for literal children being able to eat food and not starve, you should burn in hell

How about we keep god & Jesus far away from politics. Period. That's a whole other problem in this country. They shouldn't even be used in the same sentence together. Your religion is not my religion. Yet y'all force that s**t on us everyday. Then cry about gay people & CRT & groomers blah blah blah..... you demonize everyone & everything... including ppl who don't believe in your god... yet I don't try to force you not to believe in your sky daddy.... I don't hate ppl in the name of my religion. I don't want to strip ppl of rights in the name of my religion... y'all are literally the opposite of what you think you are.

Exactly, I’m not Christian but I respect anyone and everyone’s choice in religion, but when it gets to the point that you’re being hateful or violent or just an overall a*s because of your religion (usually religion is just an excuse to some extent) then I have to judge

... and it does not look like he's doing too well there either. Throwing out people, trying to force the remaining ones to work like two fulltimes, trying to rehire the people just thrown off, and so on and so on ... could be a true comedy, if it wasn't so relevant to all the people who got thrown out and have to live off of something. He, of course, doesn't need any income whatsoever, he won't get old enough to waste away what he already has. Being rich may be ok - but being THAT obscenely rich is something we as a global society may have a word in, and may consider something we just cannot afford anymore...

A word about Dickens who wrote good books. He also gave his wife TEN children and blamed her because she didn't prevent pregnancy. Because of having given birth to TEN children sex with her was no longer satisfying. He kicked her out and wouldn't ket her see her children. While he had a long affair with a young famous actress of his time. His sad story of the blacking factory distorted the fact that he was enraged that he, with his brilliance etc. was forced into such a place. How dare they! He wasn't one of the filthy poor! The man had an enormous ego, was utterly selfish and revelled in his fame. I'm an English lit major with two degrees in my subject. He wrote well but Dickens was not a Saint just because he wrote stories about the poor. Look it up.
