How’s your boss doing? Is he similarly struggling to make ends meet?

Oh, his profit margin has never been higher? Good for him. Just proves that business only succeeds when government gets out of the way.

Anyway, since the company is doing well, and I still can’t afford to buy anything, it must be the government’s fault. Or maybe the unions.

(The truly disgusting part is that I have seen this exact argument being made, unironically.)
