Socialists remind me of bratty teenagers.

Bratty teenager: “I work part-time at McDonald’s and make enough to go out with my friends on the weekend, but my dad who gives me cool stuff for my birthday and pays for a roof over my head makes a hundred times more! It’s not fair! WAAAHHHHH! 😩”

Socialist: “I’m upper middle class and can pay for all of my basic needs, but Jeff Bezos who gives me an Amazon Prime subscription, helps me buy alll my Christmas gifts every year, helps the economy of my entire country, and literally sends people into space makes a million times more! It’s not fair! WAAAHHHHH! 😩”

I want a fair wage that covers the cost of living. If I can't get it from the socialists, who do I get it from? I work my ass off and changing my job is a pain in the ass.

@DDonde You get it from your employer. If your employer doesn’t pay you enough, either 1) you need to work harder and/or move up in the company or 2) your company is an unethical piece of shit and you need to work for someone else. It’s not the government’s responsibility to give you a fair wage, it’s your employer’s.

That covers most of them.

@SW-User Not really. Not if you look hard. There are lots of small businesses that really care about their employees. Look outside the big corporations like Walmart. And not even all of them are bad. Starbucks literally pays for baristas’ education.

@RopinTexan Walmart, Walgreens, CVS and others are the poster children for the GOP.

Why isn’t the GOP calling them out for being unethical?

RopinTexan · 31-35, M

@JoeyFoxx Probably because those companies are on their side and give them money.

I don’t like the GOP. I don’t like political parties in general.

@RopinTexan so, you’re a new-libertarian

Which is another way of saying you are against anybody else’s idea that doesn’t match your vague and indecipherable worldview

Gotcha
