    Right-wingers remind me of that meme template where the dog has the ball and it’s going “Throw! No Take! Only throw!”

    They want a thriving economy, but they don’t want to pay people wages. No pay. Only spend.

      That’s the part I don’t understand. Why do they not realize that if you give people enough money to pay living expenses and then some, they will spend more money. What is the point of having all the money stuck at the top? A thriving economy requires money to circulate, but its getting caught between the same handful of greedy assholes. And they seem to just want to make the problem worse. If they do that, the economy will collapse and then all that money will be worthless anyway.

        Because the most wealthy people are hoarders. At that point it’s a mental issue. They are it as a zero sun game and think having the biggest percentage of the pie means they win. They didn’t care about making the pie itself bigger.
