➢There's a socialist on my facebook page who likes to unwittingly spew socialist crap on Facebook from time to time. Granted, he doesn't realize it's crap, but that doesn't stop me from informing him. Here's the original pic, and my response.
A banker, a worker, and an immigrant are sitting at a table.
The banker runs a printer 20 times with a picture of a cookie on each page, and hands them out, assuring everyone that it's exactly the same as the real thing.
The banker gives the immigrant the plate of "cookies" first, because the immigrant promises to work for cheap, and hey - raise the minimum wage, right? For everyone but the illegal immigrant, of course. The immigrant only takes a half cookie at a time, but eats so many that by the time the worker gets to the plate, there's only five cookies left. The banker charges everyone for 20 cookies plus 8 cookies interest, goes broke, then asks the government for a new printer.
The worker claims he's not getting enough cookies and shouts at the banker for being a meanie, and writes a really inaccurate meme about cookies that anyone who knows about economics would recognize as patently false. He then votes in politicians who promise to fix the problem with printers while ignoring the problem of broken ovens, feeling incredibly self-satisfied as he does.
Also, illegal immigrants do steal jobs, and the rich democrats who go on and on about "a living wage" have no problem whatsoever hiring the cheapest (aka immigrant) labor possible for their own businesses. But that's a story for another time.
