Ready to see an image macro so stupid it makes time stop dead in it's tracks?

Found on "Capitalism"s Facebook page:



I'm . . . . I'm . . . . . stunned with two "n"s.

Is this seriously how these semi-hatched people think?

Raising the TMTR to 45% on people who make more money in a two hour meeting than 94% of workers make in a year; some of who can purchase 2 to 6 $300,000 homes a day and it wouldn't make a dent in their overall wealth, is "slavery"???

Wanting SOME modicum of economic fairness over a class of people who benefit hand over fist from corporate porkfare is "slavery"??

Regulating your financial shenanigans so you don't crash the goddamned economy with yet another stupid bubble is "slavery"??

Tell me, fiscally comfortable white male libertarians . . . what the HELL would any of YOU know about "slavery" other than your ancestors (and, let's be frank, YOU) likely benefitted from it and you wouldn't be opposed to having it returned in America (abolishing the minimum wage)?

Jesus CHRIST.
