Have you noticed that it has become socially acceptable to tell poor people how to spend their money…

…yet when we tell rich people to stop hoarding money/pay their workers fairly, the response is always, “It’s their money!”

It's ridiculous and economically illiterate. A family living on benefits that spends every penny they receive immediately in local shops does more to benefit the economy than a wealthy man storing the interest of his capital in a bank account.

I hear ya. They make tattoo parlors, nail parlors, expensive hair salons RICH. They spend it before they make it.

But do they? No. They don't. That's a lazy, bigoted, misogynistic stereotype.
