Cards Against Humanity sends checks to poorest customers to ‘redistribute the wealth’

The makers of the card game “Cards Against Humanity” have set out to tackle wealth inequality by sending checks to those they have deemed their poorest customers.

Using a combination of user-submitted personal information and census data, the company was able to send $1,000 checks to 100 of their least-wealthy customers, and $15 to 10,000 others, according to their new webpage, “Cards Against Humanity Redistributes Your Wealth.”

“Today, eight men own the same amount of wealth as the poorest half of humanity,” the website reads. “That is truly f—ed … Our lawyers advised against our first choice — a campaign to eat all the rich people and live in their houses — so we settled for something more achievable.”

The company, while known primarily for the vulgar card game, has delved further into politics with their “Cards Against Humanity Saves America” initiative.

The company asked those who participated in the border wall fund to submit personal information about their occupation, race, gender, education, health, debt and other factors. They then used that information and data from the U.S. census to determine who their poorest consumers were.

They then sent a $15 refund of the original donation to 10,000 people, and a $1,000 check to the poorest 100 people, paid for with the money collected from the wealthiest donors.

BoredPanda shared photos of the letters that some received along with their check.

“You deserve more than this, but from your political representatives – not from a comedy game,” one letter reads.
