I’ve had trouble with Dickson in the past too. I didn’t live on the street but I didn’t want to be at home either. I’d hang out around train stations and shopping malls but Dickson would always find me somehow. They’d wait until I let my guard down while reading a magazine or coming out of the bathroom and WHAM! They’d hold me down and sew the hand holes of my jacket sleeves together so I couldn’t use my hands. I thought they were doing it to make YouTube content but I could never find the videos.
How did you get that? I literally complained that people who work have to pay for the rich. I shouldn’t be paying for anyone as long as the rich hoard their wealth. I’m happy to pay to build a better society I actually want to contribute but not while people with many orders of magnitude more wealth than me are hoarding and grifting. They pay a lower effective tax rate, money that could easily fund these programs. That being said I don’t think I interpreted the meme well, those people look like well off boomers so I wasn’t getting the poor elderly in a home who doesn’t have enough to buy bread vibes. Anyway until the wealthy stop acting like cancers on society I’m not going to be happy that I’m the one that has to pay but as long as they are not I’m happy to support the poor.
Yep and they’ll argue that they contributed their capital and took all the risk. I could also contribute more if I didn’t pay tax and exploit people and wasn’t exploited myself. Then I’d have more capital to take risk. I accept I have to pay tax and at least try not to exploit people - very hard in a capitalist/global economy
