Political Cartoons

This cartoon seems to have two people in it, one is a large dictator like person and the other is a small defenseless person who seems to be being harassed. The larger man is strangling the smaller man and money is falling off the small man. The large man is labeled capitalism and the smaller man is labeled labor. I think cartoon was made to show how the system of capitalism seem to be taking as much money as it possibly could out of its workers. I think the cartoonists opinion on the subject is that capitalism is bad and is cheating people out of there money. I think they feel this way about capitalism because they seem to make capitalism look large and scary but the labor looks small, helpless, and in need of help. The cartoonist could have added in another character, like the form of economy they think is right maybe helping the small person out or trying to make capitalism stop shaking the labor.
