I mean, if your $50M annual income was reduced to $30M after taxes, would you *really* just say “screw it, I’ll get a minimum wage job instead”?
No, you’d just maybe buy a few less yachts.
Now, just leaving is entirely possible and seen historically.
But no one would sacrifice a life of luxury just because they don’t like their $50M taxed at 40%.
And honestly, I’d prefer replacing the minimum wage with an NIT-type thing
But people aren't going to try hard if the minimum wage is increased, they will stay at the bottom, becoming rich will seem like a waste of time if they're happy with what they have.
I don't see the point in giving someone a decent wage if all they do is scan an item or flip a burger.
@wahx Found the origin of the meme, it's from 4chan - that puts a little doubt into thinking it's ironic
that alone should say enough lol
what meme?
Oh just some conversation earlier

Basically nothing on 4chan is serious
It's a joke but also based in fact
I know it's a joke. Although it's most certainly not showing irony
I'd say it's based on core perspective and fact
@Donaldus Triumphus#0769
Yeah, why?
So you want to get rid of your universal healthcare in Britain?
Universal healthcare is a form of socialism, but it doesn’t make Britain a socialist country it’s still capitalist. Same with Norway Sweden Denmark Germany, Belgium, Finland etc
People keep calling Bernie a socialist for wanting to implement programs which already exist in most other developed European countries
He calls himself a socialist
well im from denmark and our healthcare system is utterly broken
It’s not like people are branding him as a socialist he openly admits to being one
my sister lives in sweden and there is a payment for every doctor visit there
that epic moment when you think raising people out of poverty using other people’s money is an epic idea
🗿
Why don’t people in poverty just go into creative mode and spawn in some diamonds lol
wtf
that would make diamonds worthless
they have to spawn the gold instead
then when that gets worthless they have to spawn rubies
and so on until were down to the single cell sharks
yes
i read the other day that about 62000 indians are lifted out of extreme poverty every day
thats a huge number but it will take a while when they have so many people there
lol
