Wait is this satire? I can't tell.

I was waiting for the punch line as well, and then scrolled up to see who the author was. His tagline says, "I defend laissez-faire capitalism, using Ayn Rand's Objectivism." So it's safe to say it's not satire.

He does say "Here’s a modest proposal".

I think the author just stumbled hilariously onto that phrase without knowing its satirical history.
