More honest than claiming it'll "trickle down."

But it will!!!!

Joke aside, money would trickle down when workers ensure that key markets like housing and healthcare are competitive and not take whatever wage increase there is.

Can you elaborate more on the second bit? I'm having trouble piecing it together grammatically to understand the sentence.

Housing is a sellers market where buyers compete. There needs to be a surplus of housing so that buyers can choose. Then prices fall to construction costs plus cost of management.

Money would trickle down if workers ensured that key markets like housing and healthcare were competitive, and not systems that take whatever wage increase they can get.

The title of the comic is "Tax Deductions" so I can assume Oglaf is satirizing working class people who worship capitalists.

It's a Lion King spinoff where the gazelle idolizes the lion.
