Response To Capitalism Cartoon

The main visuel elements of this picture are: Festively Plump Man with Capitalism written on him, small scrawny man with a tag saying "Labor", and big money bags under the "labor person". Whats happening in this cartoon, is that The Fat guy is holding and potentially sqeezing the small Labor guy whos money is falling out of his pockets. The money is falling into a bag that says "Profits from Child Labor". The big idea the author tries to portray in this cartoon is that the system of capitalism robs from the workers, The leaders take money from those most in need of it etc. By looking at this picture, I can tell the author clearly is on the side of the workers and wants to show how people are bieng cruel to others. The Fat guy is portrayed as fat because hes got money, therefor he eats, and eats, and eats. Hes also got expensive clothes, and has a grin on his face, showing, once again, that he has money and is happy about it. The Lobor man is shown as a skinny, small kid with messy clothes. He is portrayed like this because workers were treated badly and didnt get paid well, therefor he is skinny because he has no food to eat. Another interesting thing is that the Fat man has capitalism written on a neat, Mr. Universe-ish strap, while the skinny guy has Labor written on a tag he has fastened to his arm. The tag has a sort of meaning that he is being treated like an animal. The bags under him, well, are big, and there is plenty of them, meaning Capitalism has already robbed many people in the past.
