This  pharaoh or fox meme is a parody on the affluent synonym of the ‘One Percenter’ verses everybody else. A fox wearing the regalia of a pharaoh represents the great disparity between the wealthiest 1%, and the growing poor around the world today.

The Pharaohs of ancient Egypt with their Pyramids and all of their gold, did not have as great a wealth imbalance with their lowest workers. The One Percenters of today have taken the wealth imbalance to a level never before seen.  Top CEO’s of companies such as Google, Facebook, and Amazon earn more than the lowest workers annual salary, before noon on January 1st.

Having so much wealth concentrated in so few hands, does not lead towards a healthy economy. It is far better to have a strong middle class, and less poverty over all. That way more people have more purchasing power, and the economy thrives. Something to think about.
