(37,573 posts)2. Why should anyone assume that somebody who does not pay federal income taxes
does not have enough money to eat?
I always did, and I have avoided federal income taxes in many years (sometimes by being too poor, other times by making an IRA contribution)

(13,776 posts)3. I think this "hey girl" thing is just a meme
Like that Gene Wilder picture.
I don't know who this actor is (Ryan Gosling, maybe?) but it's not him sending this picture and caption out. So he's not actually an ass.

(23,156 posts)4. It's a take-off on the Hey Girl
thing with Ryan Gosling. He would not have created this particular picture.
Besides, the sentiment expressed -- "I'm in the 53 percent but I have your back" -- is laudible. In my opinion.
This is a very popular meme featuring Ryan Gosling. No need to get your back up about it.
