    Name is too ethnic to resonate with the people who need it most. Please edit attribution to one “Pastor William ‘Bill’ Smith” and you’ll really get the masses out of bed

    I always liked to point this out when poor people protest taxes for the very rich.

    “What if I become a billionaire some day?? Better safe than sorry.”
    … the safe being their dead end job, zero life prospects & worsening quality of life, amassing other life problems, looming homelessness, etc,
    and the sorry being the unlikely event they wound have to lose a fraction of their obscene wealth for the better of other humans.
