The only reason the blue collar man in the meme can afford a suburban home, a large family and free time on one income is because of very large taxes on the rich and very high rates of unionization. If people have these and choose to be trad-idiots, fine, so long as other people can also have these things and be free to choose to not be trad-idiots.

Dude, I honestly think you might need remedial language courses if you think that's even close to what he said. No joke your reading comprehension is concerning. Do you understand? Do I need to dumb it down even more for you? Do you need pictures?
It's obviously a troll
Lol, more like "you can't have so much more than me that I end up being forced to serve you just to survive".
If you think that's "jealousy", you don't understand what wealth is.
