The government pretends to do good things for the people. The first thing you see in this picture is a man holding a puppet making it say, “Don’t bankrupt the mills. Don’t endanger our jobs. Stop the superfund.” The man holding the puppet in this cartoon represents the rich government employees and the puppet represents the people the government uses to control the public. The second thing you see in this cartoon is a mouse saying, “leave more money for your CEO’s golden parachutes.” This mouse is telling the public that the only reason the government wants to do these things the puppet is saying is because it makes the CEO’s more money. The only reason the government pretends to do things the people would like is because it makes them money.
