No one will respond well to that, even if I can't recall any Bernie supporter offering to do more work or a different job to get his benefits. We are a culture that wants a living wage while the computer does most of the thinking for us after all.

You know what's crazy? This rhetoric has been common on Facebook for most of its history, but it's actually becoming frequent on LinkedIn now too.

LinkedIn.

People are posting this absolute boomer schlock on there, among their industry peers and with their company name attached. It blows my mind how completely devoid of shame some people are.

I don't see the contradiction, but ok. There's a difference between doing it out of love or even money if it's your job and doing it out of some delusional desperation so you can supposedly join the rich club that will never be open for these types.

And it's funny when the right suddenly cares about homophobia.

While the vast majority of its true, and we are entirely on our own to shape our lives with our own effort, energy and decisions it comes off real shitty. Not a good way to make your point. As there as extenuating circumstances for some people that prevent them from reaching goals/dreams they might have. As always it neither extreme. Find a middle ground to make a valid point. As in if the point is valid it will stand on its own.

Also...when people talk about billionaires paying a fair share, they typically mean taxes for public services that go towards improving a community.

The fuck does that have to do with "unmotivated workers"?

So why do I get taxed almost 25 percent of my paycheck just because I'm commission?

Taxes are not fair, but I definitely do not have sympathy for a billionaire getting taxes.

Jeff's Bezos service isn't proprietary, he was first capitalize on a need. If he doesn't want to pay his fair share and help the people that made him rich, someone else can take his spot.

A billionaire's level of work is many orders of magnitude disproportionate to the money they make. CEOs make almost 300 times an average worker's salary, on average. If you seriously think that every week a CEO does the equivalent of 12,000 hours of work that an average worker does, you're completely delusional.

Valuing hard work and entrepreneurship is not shameful. Painting anyone who disagrees with you with the broadest strokes possible, and then slinging insults like a senile grouch who just got escorted out of Golden Corral, is.

I don't buy into the "eat the rich" keyboard Leninism either, but the person in OP's screenshot is embarrassing themselves.

Nobody who owns Amazon Primes gives two fucks why he made. All they care about is how great, useful and convenient the service is for such a cheap, affordable price.
