Sometimes people have a hard time understanding what inequality looks like. Here I have made it simple to see in pictures of stick men and apple pie.Related content

Great Job. I've been using this example for years but was using Pizza slices as an example haha. Where I have a hard time connecting to conservatives defining what "Fair Taxes" mean. I'm using as similar example as the above but with regards to taxes... but still haven't nailed the right metaphor. Let me know if you ever devise a "Fair Taxes" idea like this... where the term is defined and unmistakable. Currently there is no consensus on what fair means.

Sad thing is that you would be labeled at a commie for merely pointing out this info, let alone wanting to do something about it.

Yup I know exactly what your talking about! My super liberal union family moved from the city into a small middle of nowhere insanely conservative town. Any time I argue politics i get called a commie, I just laugh and tell them im not a commie im an american! Try it, it really pisses them off!!

No. In the States, these days, for pointing out this info you are a traitor and possibly a terrorist.

In the eyes of the Teabaggers, those two words may as well be synonymous. The only difference between the two is that for terrorists, you can be indefinitely detained if you are remotely suspected to be one by the Govt.

You are absolutely right, but it's not limited to the Tea parties. Same for Dems or Reps. That's something I never understood in the States: Land of the Free, except if you are Black, Hispanic, Gay, etc. but the worst of all is Communism.
Nonetheless, anti-communism is a pure State construct, pure propaganda, unlike all other phobias coming from morals, fear and shit like that.
