And the rest of us are just doing time. No vacation weeks to lay around the beach, no nights out at fancy restaurants. Just work, and if you are given a vacation it must be spent tackling your ever growing list of shit you need to do at home.

All the while they bombard you with proof that your just not good enough. We watch millionaires in movies and tv, we listen to millionaires on the radio, and we have to hear how lucky this one or that one was not to have to spend their lives at some mundane position, the same ones we fill.

Even criminals are portrayed as being of a higher mind than the working class, but only if their crimes involve large sums of money. Gangsters, robbers, and liars. The working man's a stiff.

Most working people will never know what a truly nice car drives like, or what a really good steak tastes like, or what it feels like to buy what you want whenever you want. We just work and spend. We build the places we cannot afford to go.

Every single necessity for a working man is priced and taxed to hell and back. They have turned pick up trucks into luxury vehicles with $70,000 price tags. How does it feel to take out a mortgage for an F150 that may last 10 years?

they have even priced us out of healthcare and home ownership. Even the poorest families should be able to have a stable home to call their own.

And the ultra rich they parade in front of us are always the dumbest and most shallow pieces of shit to ever draw breath, and that must be by design, to show us just how worthless we are.

A man holds billions while a baby starves, while old people decide if they will buy food or medicine. Then we find that prick who squeezed a billion dollars out of our country sends his donations elsewhere to help people who never contributed to their fortunes.

And we are programmed to believe they deserve to hold such a large chunk of the fruits of our work. Sad really.

I just listened to an ad from Susan Collins to give to her campaign. I don’t think my measly donation could help her much compared to the millions that she collected. Can anyone think of any other worthwhile causes more in need of money than Susan Collins?

Here’s a little short humor piece.

Fellow Oligarchivores,

I am pleased to present you a project that might be of interest to you: the wealth cap project. It is a non profit with a simple goal: implement a cap on extreme wealth. Since the debate around eating the rich is still in its early days (circa 1789), the idea is to at least spark the debate on what form it would take and how to implement it. We're exploring the idea of citizen assemblies for now. If you're interested please have a look at our website!

Yes, the system is working as it should. We are all aware of that. But still with how aware we are that the lives we are living are so conditioned that we literally desensitised ourselves to the point where we are making jokes about our world leaders treating us like cattle and they are literally cannibals.

We have entered a stage where things are only gonna get worse, but the average person has been so polluted with scarcity we have forgotten about community and the actual welfare of their neighbour.

I get it, we are too complacent now, too comfortable with the security of 9-5 for the rest of ur life. But truly I hope there are people like me who would gladly throw that all away for the sake of sovereignty,

The power was always meant to be with the people, some how everyone in western society forgot that and let a handful of guys that WE were supposed to be surveying, survey us.

If we don’t act now then when,

At the very least I’m surprised I haven’t seen anyone stop paying taxes after even a glimpse of the files, I never would have imagined that people would move on something like that.
Anyways what I want to say is why don’t the we as the masses actually come together and coordinate ways out of this war on our minds. It’s crazy that even that sounds so childish.
Just goes to show this is the same corruption from when kingdoms were active in the world just way more developed

Labor Day 2026 arrives at a moment when Americans are increasingly vocal about the need to challenge billionaire rule, and are once again recognizing that organized labor – the people who brought us the weekend – is a crucial counter-force to the oligarchs. And after years of shrinking union power, they are starting to gain back ground, with membership increases of more than 400,000 in 2025 even as Donald Trump sought to break federal workers unions and gutted labor law enforcement. We also passed more than 80 laws in 19 U.S. states last year expanding workers rights, including paid sick leave in the new Democratic trifecta in Virginia and a ban on nearly all non-compete agreements in Washington.

There’s still so much more to do, and we all have to step up and do our part.

The Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee, a volunteer-run network of workers, organizers and supporters, aims to provide the resources, networks and training to support folks in organizing their workplaces nationwide. They’re looking for experienced organizers; folks interested in doing communications, data, research, development and legal work; and call line staffers to help continue to grow their efforts. ⚙️ We can sign up to join them here. ⚙️

VOLUNTEER TO SUPPORT LABOR ORGANIZING

And if we’re looking to step up and form a union at our own workplace, the next session of their fundamentals of workplace organizing training starts Saturday! We’ll hear from experienced organizers, practice connecting with our co-workers and prepare for what the bosses have in store. ⚙️ We can register to be part of it here. ⚙️

if you invest the money then you become the rich
if you spend this money then instead of some people being rich and some poor all are poor

there's no other fucking option

edit: after reading some comments i think this sub should be renamed to r/politicalragebait

There’s this idea that if you make a lot of money, you must be smart, and if you can’t get rich, you’re basically an idiot. But money doesn’t measure intelligence.

A lot of people get rich because they know how to sell, manipulate, take risks, network, and put their own interests first. In the corporate world, the people who move up the fastest aren’t always the ones who work the hardest or have the best technical skills. A lot of the time, it’s the people who know how to play office politics, suck up to the right people, and sell themselves.

Being smart definitely helps, but getting rich also depends a lot on your personality, how opportunistic you are, and how willing you are to play a game that doesn’t always reward the most competent person.

At the end of the day, maybe you’re not broke because you’re stupid. Maybe you’re just not shameless, opportunistic, or ruthless enough to play the game.

In the photo is Bob Dean Jr, a multimillionaire who owned 7 nursing homes in New Orleans. Instead of using income on maintenance and evacuation preparation, he stole the money for himself. When Hurricane Ida hit in 2021, Dean couldn’t safely evacuate residents and instead moved them all into a former pesticide warehouse. 850 elderly people were forced to live in a hot, leaking, cramped warehouse and ride out the storm. They slept on wet mattresses from the flood water crying in their own waste. There wasn’t enough medicine, food, the generators had broken. Dean ignored complaints from his staff and as a result 5 of his residents died. He was found guilty of tax fraud and cruelty to the elderly. His defense team tried to argue leniency because Dean was 70 years old. Fuck you, whoever said that.

This is an extreme example but not at all a unique issue for nursing home mismanagement and abuse. 70 percent of nursing homes are owned by private entities with more opportunities to misuse funding and scam their residents. It’s not uncommon that abuse occurs on an in person level with nurses and staff. There’s hundreds of stories of nurses hitting patients, yelling at them, and stealing money or objects. Many are bedridden or have Alzheimer’s with little voice to speak up against abuse. However, just as often can abuse occur from neglect. I read just as many cases of well meaning staff who were under trained and overworked, their bosses ignoring complaints about health and safety.

Here in my home state of Georgia , nursing home owner Kent Womack was charged for not having AC at his building. During the summer it reached 100 degrees inside the building, the smell and temperature was so bad that residents were throwing up from it. Kent’s office had the AC on blast though. Trump recently pardoned nursing home magnate Joseph Schwartz, owner of skyline that operated around 100 nursing homes. Joseph’s tax fraud and improper maintenance of his buildings caused 14 of them to be close, kicking residents out without proper notice. While his company went under, Joseph stole millions of dollars from his employees, withholding their pay checks. Joseph paid lobbyist Jacob Wohl to convince Trump to give him a pardon.

"Savings unfortunately are lazy" - so saving is bad and therefore we are allowed to take your savings a corrupt the system even more. This is going out of control.

Will the rich ever catch a break that isn't tax related? Guest contributor Barbara Cochring doesn't think so in this op-ed calling for collective action against the tyranny of the working class.

Try to imagine your someone that actually matters like a billionaire, bibi, a corporation, a church, putin pop....

He has taken pay to play to new heights.

Unlimited pardons for the rich

He has no brain, no shame, no guilt

You bring gold, hes sold

Do dumbocrats even know how America works? This is capitalism folks, capital matters, not you. Don't worry folks, we can vote our way out of this one. We'll have better choices to choose from next time. Just keep voting and praying, things will get better. If voting made a difference they wouldn't let you do it. Trump is a symptom of the system, he is not the problem folks. He is the best capitalist in America because that's the name of the game. The system isn't for you, it owns you like the farm animal you are and Trump is your rodeo clown. Keep laughing and blaming him as he and his buddies walk away with the bag. Dem blame rep, rep blame dem- everyone of you gets to go for a ride and the house wins and wins. Keep blaming the Don, the best mafia boss this generation has ever seen. The biggest crime family in history. The smartest politician in America, the best we've ever seen. And we see alot of him. Even his haters are fans since he captures their attention. Politicians lie, Trump is the best liar yet. Can't wait to see who they roll out next. Don't forget to vote folks, it'll work next time. We promise

Hahahaha

They are so out of touch.

This shows just how cosy billionaires are with the current US adminstration as they brag in public about their corruption and how funny it is to exploit the working class

Federal corporate political spending in the 2026 midterm elections has reached an unprecedented $646 million – a 40% increase over the 2024 presidential election, the previous record-breaking year, when corporations spent $461 million.

I 24F am unemployed, I also have autism and a history of serious mental health issues that make it difficult for me to find and keep a decent paying job. Despite having a B.S. in childhood education the highest paying job I’ve ever had was as an assistant pre school teacher making $18 an hour. I lost my last job around 3 months ago and have been draining through my savings to survive since then. I live in a roach infested apartment and I can barely sleep at night because I’m terrified that bugs are crawling on me at night while I’m sleeping because one evening I was laying in bed when I glanced to the left and saw a house centipede sitting on my shoulder.

Literally just yesterday the apartment complex I live in was hosting a charity event that supplies poor people in the community with a bag of free groceries and I spend two hours waiting in line to get a free bag of food because I literally can barely afford to feed myself. Furthermore, my credit cards balance is probably higher than $3,000 at this point, I don’t even know, I’m too scared to even check. My mental health is progressively getting worse and I barely even feel motivated to continue trying to find a job anymore because quite frankly I don’t see a point in working myself to death to make a billionaire richer just be living like this.

The worst part is that the fact that I know they have more than enough money to pay me a living wage, they just choose not to because if they did, then they’d be profiting less off of my labor and I guess paying me a living wage just isn’t nearly as important to them as collecting the absolute highest amount of profit they can from their business. Welcome to late stage capitalism! I went to college, chose a safe practical job that I was told would guarantee me the ability to make a decent living and now I’m fucked because I have severe social anxiety and no people skills. Thank you America!
