Government Takes Your Addition

Text on the meme

when you want to make an addition to your home the government

What it means

A young man tries to add something to his home, but the government appears to physically stop him by cutting off his finger. The joke compares restrictive government regulations and permits to an absurdly invasive intervention, making it a reaction to bureaucracy, construction rules, or denied home improvements.
