Right now our politicians are debating about raising or lowering taxes and the fact that our congress is in a gridlock between two parties who cannot comprise on any level to reach any sort of agreement. This cartoon is very representative of that because it is mainly saying hey here is the big old fat cat congressman who doesn't really need to care about over or under taxation and here is the scared twig man of the American people. The cartoon is also hinting at the idea of we are getting closer to a point of no return and the ending point of this tax stall in congress. This cartoon shows/says that the more congress just sits around and the American people are still in no power Taxes with either be insanely high or no one will be taxed properly and there goes a lot of budgets and programs that Government funds through taxation money.http://www.politicalcartoons.com/cartoon/022db99b-6898-4067-b381-5cad3ccc1cde.html
