A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

The rich pulled the wealth from the commoner and made themselves even richer. Now they want to be kings. It's why we can't have nice things.
That's been happening throughout literally all of human history. It doesn't help answer the question of why so many people had it so good in the '50s (other posters in this thread have provided better answers.)
Yes, it used to be somewhat like this, but never to this degree. Ever since money flooded US politics, a lot of millionaires have inflated their heads to believe their duty is to meddle in politics. They didn't waste any time to push legislation in their favor through lobbying, bribery, and even running for office. It's no coincidence massive tax cuts are being given to them, do that the burden ultimately falls on the rest of us.
This isn't just a money pull, but a rug pull along with it, and it's been in the making for decades.
I’d love to see the bank account and hear the life story of the person who downvoted you.
I really would.
