Is there any more quintessential a Middle Class White Family experience than having to deal with relatives who get super mad about redistributive economic policies not because they expect to one day become part of the economic elite, but because they imagine they already are?

Like, buddy, you’re a two hundred grand in debt and you take the bus to the mall. The fact that you timeshare a lakefront cabin doesn’t make you Bill Gates. Your net worth is couch change to actual wealthy folks - these people are not your peers.

In Ireland, there is a political party that want to add a tax of 1% on people who have incomes and assets exceeding €1 million a year. Our friends are going mental and saying they will have to leave the country, that this will crush them……Dude, you earn 37,000 your wife earns 37,000 between you you earn 74,000, your safe, this will not affect you in anyway. Calm the fuck down!

I’m reblogging this mostly for the benefit of the folks saying “dude, that’s only in America”. I’m Canadian, this poster’s Irish - like, come on, let’s stop pretending we’re all squeaky-clean by pointing at America. It’s self-congratulatory bullshit.
