Poor people are poor because of their decisions. Rich people are rich because of their decisions.

Implying that wage theft and price gouging don’t exist; or that every decision our government has made to f**k over the working class wasn’t made with the expressed purpose of benefiting the billionaires who own our politicians.

That you cannot grasp the point has less to do with my waffling than with your wilful ignorance. Focus on money in pockets; it is possible to fill one's pocket with money ( assuming aptitute and opportunity ) without emptying someone else's,.

If that proves anything at all, it would be proof that assholes can impoversish people, not that richness does. Poor assholes can keep people impoverished as well. Don't even get started on "matter of degree" - it doesn't apply in the context of the point of the meme

Point to someone who has no money because E M has so much.

"Poor assholes can keep people impoverished as well."

Yes indeed. Case in point, dumbass conservatives who prickle at the mere mention of free healthcare and living wages.
