- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Land of the fee, home of the slave
Fwiw, it wasn't always - the government used to have a top marginal tax rate of 90 fucking percent, and money was just handed out by outright socialist policies. Maybe that wasn't good either, especially when distributed ~~primarily~~ exclusively to white families, but dayum the pendulum sure has swung the other direction now that people learned that minorities might get some ever so small slice of that pie. Yeah, surely better to turn us all into slaves than for that to happen. (To be clear, I am joking, and actually unfortunately so bc with globalization and automation, the ultra wealthy don't really even need slaves at all, so better for the population to just fall to levels that they can more easily control.)
Well, look at it from the bright side: the person in this picture does have a roof over their head.
Do I need to slap an /s on it?
Somebody somewhere will eventually downvote it either way:-P.
Although there's also some truth to it, in being one of the reasons that people end up behind bars.
