idk what this meme is saying exactly but the right needs to get on the ball with creating a "worker's movement" like the "antiwork" movement of the left;
particularly our focus is more on how regulations and taxes strangle the ability for people to earn "family wages" (enough to provide for a family) or "living wages" (enough to provide for a living)
other potentially legal methods have been used to extract more and more wealth from workers... for example the payment of profits at businesses to shareholders, rather than to distribute such profits to the workers (who have produced the "actual value" of whatever product is being made to sell)
Medievals had the idea of a "just price", which was different from but perhaps related to the idea of the "labor theory of value" which is often rejected today. While the prevailing "subjective theory of value" has some obvious merit, it has less obvious problems of enabling labor value to be thought to be "completely subjective" to the point of employers being willing to pay "exploitative" or insufficient wages in proportion to the amount of productivity provided to the worker.
Many people only have their labor to sell and thus are in a precariously dependent position; hence it would be wise for society to prioritize the value of such labor and structure work and payment of workers in ways that are motivating and sufficient for living a decent life.
There is probably no shortage of problems to be remedied and topics to discuss related to these issues
