Political Cartoon 12/11


This cartoon was drawn by Alex Hughes and published on Tribune Cartoons. It is titled Yet to come and is dated 12/11/2009.  This cartoon deals with the issue of taxes. This cartoon depicts two "fat cats" of Christmas past and Christmas present celebrating the holiday with their large bonuses merrily. Meanwhile, the ghost of Christmas yet to come looms above holding a giant club ready to ruin the party. This means that while these wealthy people have been able to celebrate lavishly because of their large bonuses in the past, in the future they will be crushed with a "super tax".  I think most everyone would agree that the taxes to come will alter the way the wealthy spend their money.
