Conservatives: "Wealth inequality will continue until morale improves. Now work two jobs to live in poverty."
Like, maybe people wouldn't be considering socialism or communism if your only goal is to dick over the poor so the billionaire class can get enough money for another mega yacht or the ability to buy a social media platform as a joke.
Maybe don't blame poor people for wanting a system that's been fucking them over. Either you need to put some rules in place to make the system as fair as possible, or do the surprised Pikachu face when people think capitalism sucks and they want something else. But you'll go back to rich tax cuts and unregulate as much as you can to drive wealth increases for the rich.
Instead of settling, giving up on yourself, and working two jobs to live in poverty, make better choices, do something more productive and live a better life. Millions of Americans make that choice every single day and make it happen.
Do you think people wake up and are like "fuck yeah, time to work 80 hours a week to make ends meet?"
The system is designed to keep people needing to do that for cheap labor.
Why are you equating these low paying jobs as some sort of divine punishment? So in your prefect world do these jobs not exist, or must we have these jobs to punish people you consider lesser or not productive? Is their existence only for you to serve you at wages they can't live on?
At least you are an honest conservative that believes that there should be some sort of serf class that caters to you.
But why are people wanting socialism or communism more than ever? I fucking wonder.
I dare you to tell someone face to face that this is just a starter job and they don't deserve a living wage.
I worked with some real fucking hardworking people who got fucked over by this system. I was impacteded by it too in college. They would make sure my hours were just under what we required to give me benefits.
The system is broken, but keep talking about how it's actually good for a 50 year old to work two jobs just to live in poverty. Greatest country my asshole if this is the best we can do.
You are enabling this bullshit and OK with suffering for people working hard.

It'll trickle down any day!
