After being uploaded online, a message written on the back of an SUV suddenly became viral.
Many people applauded the driver after seeing the statement written on the back of the SUV after a Reddit user posted a picture of it on the social media website.
Along with the picture of the car, the user wrote, “Saw this patriot while driving.”
“This is America… we don’t redistribute wealth… we earn it,” read the sign on the SUV’s back.
Conservatives oppose raising taxes on the wealthiest Americans, in contrast to progressive politicians who think they should pay more to support social services and programs. Numerous people expressed their opinions on Reddit, many of whom backed the SUV owner who had first written the post.
“Yeah for the guy that has the guts to display this saying on his rear window!!!! More people should do/say the same exact thing, and just maybe it might get through to ALL—-well some of the many freeloaders that think the world owes them a living!!!!” one reader commented on the site’s Facebook page.
“We are redistributing wealth by giving so much money to too many young people that can work but don’t want to. They in turn have too much free time on their hands and some get into trouble. Need to see cuts and would certainly help with our drug problems. They need to be worried about keeping a job to put food on the table not their next drug deal!” another wrote.
“True words for true Americans. This should be on every patriotic American vehicle,” another added.
Others believed that the message should be obvious to the majority of people.
“I don’t know why it’s so difficult for liberals to understand. This nation was supposed to be unique in that the government stays out of our way so that we may be productive.” One Reddit user commented, “Every entitlement program is simply a means to redistribute wealth. Stephan Molyneux is exactly right when he says government entitlement programs are a gross violation of our property rights,”
Others, however, believed that the message was overly simplistic.
With one user wrote, “So let me get this straight, we’re trying to fight the 1% Globalists, but are cool with these same Globalists hoarding all of our resources? Sick logic, guys…There is nothing wrong with bringing nuance to an argument instead of going ‘hurr durr, f**k these cucks wanting handouts’ without fully grasping the situation. Being able to sustain yourself is what everyone should strive for, I don’t want any handouts, but seeing things in black and white doesn’t do either side any good.”
