Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
1) Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
2) No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
4) No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
5) No AI generated content.
Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing images

They're terrified at the idea of the "lower class" having anything good. They think it takes something away from them. They're terrified of people having good things without "earning" it, even though the rich aren't earning it either
It's like Syndrome in The Incredibles with the "When everyone's super, no one will be." But for them, when everyone has a living wage, social safety net, human rights - they won't be superior to anyone anymore.
And when they're still a failure and not even superior to anyone who has it worse… who are they anymore?
