The people on top represent the shop, the people underneath are lifting the shop up or keeping it up, hence shop-lifters instead of the definition of a shoplifter being someone who steals, it's a play on the word to be literally lifting up the shop.
Even though the original image represents that our society is held up by the lives of soldiers that fought for our country. Its meant to be funny because it's literal.
