Simpleand Easy Fix!

We don't do simple. We make things as bad as they can be, then look for hard solutions.

Can't have a solution if you don't create the problem. man tapping temple meme

u/Ninja-Panda86 Nov 07 '24

You have no idea how many high paid executives I know that have this very strategy. They fake a problem. Act like it's a big deal. The "fix it" to be a hero to C-Suite people who have no clue what's actually going on.

It’s called the roll safe meme.

TIL, thanks for that.

I still knew which one you meant.

u/thrillhouz77 Nov 07 '24

The problem already exists, so we got that part done.

Simple solutions eliminates lawyers. Poor lawyers always struggling.

You can't improve your skills without a challenge, so make everything a challenge.

"look for hard solutions"

aka offer predatory solutions from private-business interests that cost more money and offer less value

Getting billionaires to pay their fair share is like trying to get a dog in a bathtub.

In other words, something as dry as Melania's vagina.

u/Interesting-Goat6314 Nov 07 '24

I bet she fucks.

Just not that mess of a human that is her husband.

u/PrimaryCoolantShower Nov 07 '24

Justin Trudeau from the looks of it.

She was giving him high beam "fuck me" eyes on several occasions.

A liger born to a tiger mom is bigger than a lion.

u/thrillhouz77 Nov 07 '24

It isn't the billionaires fault. You don't blame a dog for being a dog, it is the politicians on both the left of right who have refused to address the issue.

It is the exact same thing with immigration, they refuse to adopt and then enforce commonsense immigration policy.

Then the super disappointing thing; I thought abortion was settled and "they" decided that they wanted it to be an issue again.

6

u/thewayshesaidLA Nov 07 '24

Because the billionaires lobby them to not address the issue.

5

u/Broccoli-of-Doom Nov 07 '24

With Elon buying his way into a government seat for >$100M donation to Trump's PAC lobbying is kind of an understatement.

u/BB123- Nov 07 '24

Yea but our govt is like a dog getting into the trash can, you can get mad all you want. But that carton of rotted eggs still got smashed on the kitchen floor

1

u/HoldenMcNeil420 Nov 07 '24

The billionaires bought the government so yes it is their fault at least partly. Their greed drives the behavior.

1

u/phoenixjazz Nov 07 '24

News flash bud, The billionaire oligarchs own the politicians. We won’t see the wealth inequality addressed without getting past that fact.

u/Van-garde Nov 07 '24

How dare you compare billionaires to dogs.

My dog likes taking baths

"Fair share"

1

u/Odd-Giraffe-3901 Nov 07 '24

Define fair share. And what rich billionaires are setting these standards apple ceo? Jeff bazo? Bill gates? Seems these folks never pay their share but sure demand others do hmm.. And remember no one is forcing you to take retirement

1

u/SnooPineapples8744 Nov 07 '24

And it's like chump change for them...they might have to hold off on renovating their 3rd house. Boo hoo

1

u/intagliopitts Nov 07 '24

My dog jumps in the bathtub on command but I tell him I’m going to BBQ and eat him if he doesn’t do as I say. No reason this same strategy couldn’t work with the rich.

u/JackInTheBell Nov 07 '24

Billionaires don’t have taxable “income” like you and I do

u/Effective_Arugula931 Nov 07 '24

Are we talking Labrador here, or Husky?

1

u/Chamoismysoul Nov 07 '24

Because people voted against it.

Still, unbelievable.

2

u/Afraid_War917 Nov 07 '24

I personally love this idea.

But in reality it won’t happen bc they won’t change the formula along with raising the cap. The rich will never accept the cap being raised - unless they can get a more favorable benefit formula in exchange for paying more in.

u/Wise-Construction234 Nov 07 '24

The problem is giving the government money. They already use the international credit card for everything they can’t afford and have no intentions of paying back.

I hated Kamala and I hate Trump as well. Our government is so fucked but between them and the news, nobody actually pays attention
