Capitalism Cartoon

The main visual elements in this picture are the boss (wearing the "Capitalism" band,) the worker (wearing the "Labor" band, the money that is on the floor and falling from the worker as the boss shakes him.

The issue about this cartoon is maybe that the worker doesn't believe in Capitalism, and the boss found out, or the worker was stealing, or the boss is just greedy, and thinks he was giving the worker too much money, and wants it back.

I think the cartoonist who made this picture wanted it to illustrate how mean and selfish the managers are and how they don't give the workers the money they deserve.

I think this because the size of the laborer and the manager is very different, and because of the money.

Maybe the cartoonist could include the working conditions by having the work station in the background.
