Listen, if you plant 5 trees and I only plant 3, then you need to harvest the 5th tree and give it to me if you want to be allowed to harvest the 4th for yourself.

Don't be greedy

So you are using that money on yourself? Pretty selfish, dontcha think? Do you know how many needy people there are in America? Or maybe you just hate poor people? They would work if they could, but they can't because they face real challenges. Like institutionalized racism and sexism. You wouldn't understand because you are privileged. Since you are so greedy and filled with hate and selfishness, the government should take all that money you have, and give it to needy people. Needy people... like me! /s

Along these same lines I brought up the Grasshopper and ant fable, and was quickly informed that they teach it to mean exactly the opposite of what they did when I was a kid.

It used to be about the grasshopper not preparing and then demanding the ants help him out, and why you should never be the grasshopper. Now they teach you the grasshopper is an artist, and the ant acts out of privilege.
