Fight a class war, not a culture war.
And you, who thinks you are in the “upper class” by making 500k a year. You’re not, you are among the poor.
We fight the people who own billions, not you.

I mean technically how they make that 500k matters. If it's all just being a landlord we are definitely fighting them too.

Incoherent take. The right is a tool the billionaires use to take shit away from the rest of us.
I think this meme is clearly made for the average American that sees politics as "left vs. right" being "Dems vs. Republicans".
I don't think it's referring to "the left" as anti capitalist here. It's meant to appeal to normies.
That was my feeling. It's not a PhD thesis on economic justice or revolution, it's just something I'm hoping might make my Uncle Herb and nephew George say 'Huh'.

That is exactly why its Right vs Left
We aren't talking about massive tax breaks. That's what's insane.
Currently SS is capped at ~$180k dollars @ ~5%. That means if you earn $180k, you pay 9k in SS tax. If you earn $2 billion you pay 9k in taxes.
These greedy leeches are destroying one of the only semi-decent systems all next to no money from them personally.
The actual tax increase from trump's expiring tax cuts is also something like 4%. Meaning these billionaires are doing all this work to save an extra $0.04 on every dollar of income.
They keep talking about the dangers and problems with debt, yet the blindingly obvious solution is a moderate increase in taxes. But instead of even broaching that subject, they are trying to also give themselves a tax cut while destroying social programs.
It's robbery, plain and simple.
at this point i'm actually convinced they're not doing this to enrich themselves.
they're doing it to crush the population, to keep it living paycheck-to-paycheck, so they can't afford an uprise when they need to fight back.
