I hate billionaires, but I like steak... I guess they aren't my enemy after all? I guess I'll rethink my life... Maybe they aren't so bad, eh?

It's not about what you like, it's about what you can afford.

If you hate billionaires but like steak, have you tried eating the rich?

The meme only says "if ... then ...". It does not imply the reverse relationship of "if not ... then not ...".

This is really pedantic, but conditionals do imply a specific inverted inference. Specifically in this meme though, the correct inversion is "If the billionaire class is not your enemy, then this budgeting is not relevant to you," which I think we'd both agree with.
