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.
