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)

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.

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.
