Benjamin Franklin

Spot on.

And I’m not even a New Yorker.

In reality, learn how to train, program, or use AI to solve a problem. Then you'll be set.

nowadays yes, but I was keeping with the founding fathers capitalists theme

Still capitalism, the currency just changed from manual labor to AI training.

Meanwhile, developing AI is manual labor. Horrible, working on the railroad manual labor.

This is the government helping us ....

Old homes have no closets because people couldn’t afford clothes.

Such an excellent meme. Upvoted.

It's so very true. If the left wasn't all wrapped up in believing Marx's complete misunderstanding of capitalism then we wouldn't be having any of the problems we have today. The exact same problems that Marx talked and were created because of his insane philosophy.

Marx knew nothing about the business world because he never worked a day in his life for someone. He just freeloaded off of everyone who would let him.

He clearly had no clue about economics. If he did he would know that his ideas create the exact problems he blames on capitalism.

The freer the market the more it favors the consumer, not the CEO, not the board of directors, just the consumer.

Who's the consumer. We all are.

A market free from any government intervention rewards the good businesses and punishes the bad. There just us no such thing as too big to fail. Failure must happen because that leads to better products. Better products benefit the consumer.

The main issue is the market has to be completely separate from the government to work. Once regulation starts or corporations start funding campaigns, it all goes to sh*t

Exactly

It needs to be regulated to shift power back to the people.

IMO, part of the problem is revisionist history. Somehow, the British Crown has been labeled “Capitalist” in schools worldwide. However, it was an imperialist Communist regime. As were basically all monarchies at the time and before the time.

How would improving living standards give more power to the political elite? It's not about results, it's about ideology. It's not what you see. It's about what the elite can get you to think is real.

It does not. That’s the point!

Re-distribution, actually. And trickling upward.

Henry Ford invented the middle class.

And Trump is making it disappear.

How?

Yeah by created the upper and lower

Last year we were all supposed to be stocking up on the ammo so we could hunt for rats in the streets for sustenance.

But now other than the Biden Avian Flu Egg Calamity Crisis of 2025™, even the Weftist Legacy Fake Noose Media mentions inflation about as often as they talk about the weather in Canberra.

Thanks for putting the text after the meme. Also, inflation is down. The issue is recovering from the damage the Biden administration did.

Making it Great Again.

Obama had the biggest trickle up plan of all time.

Except none of the founding fathers gave a shit, about will of the people. They all had slaves, were members of secret societies. Hell Ben even had a bunch of bodies in his basement. Literally.

I feel as those things go together…..

Like if you tax the people with 100 billion plus dollars you get more tax money to go to pay for things likes social security or roads or schools or homeless shelters

No you don't, you just get them to leave the state or country.
