My favorite part of capitalism is we are told if the barista makes a living wage, it will instantly cripple the entire country. But billionaires not paying taxes is essential to our economy's health. (piefed.world)

I'd like to point out that this isn't capitalism, nor is capitalism telling us this.

To be clear, I don't necessarily support capitalism in its current state, but let's call it what it is: a corporatocracy written by oligarchs, which is far, far worse than capitalism.

Also, depending on who's looking at it, this is either a complete failure of the federal government or a complete success, which is a whole other ball of yarn.
