This meme is a humorous critique of socialism, using a sarcastic tone to poke fun at the idea of socialist policies. The image presents a hypothetical scenario where a person earns $50,000 per year, but after taxes and corporate subsidies, they only take home $36,000. The meme then flips this scenario, suggesting that if the $36,000 is increased by $36,000, the person would still be earning $50,000, but with a $36,000 tax bill, they would be left with $14,000. The text reads: "So, you hate socialism, ya say? If you make $50,000/year, $36 of your taxes goes to food stamps. $4,000 goes to corporate subsidies. If the $36 increases by $36, you still make $50,000, but with a $36,000 tax bill, you get $14,000. If the $36 increases by $36,000, you still make $50,000, but with a $36,000 tax bill, you get $14,000. If the $36 increases by $36,000, you still make $50,000, but with a $36,000 tax bill, you get $14,000.

So, you hate socialism, ya say? If you make $50,000/year, $36 of your taxes goes to food stamps. $4,000 goes to corporate subsidies. If the $36 upsets you more than the $4,000, then you just hate poor people - not socialism.
