As I was driving to work today, I got the best idea for a political cartoon. Stay with me on this one till the end:

Imagine a 3 or 4 guys standing together arm-in-arm like something out of a cheesy high-school teeny-bopper movie dressed in business suits. They are walking down a street titled “Main Street” and have pins on that say things like: Bear Stearns, Congress, Lehman Brothers, AIG, etc. They have cash stacks falling out of each and every pocket they have with enormous grins on their faces. At the lower of the picture is a tattered homeless man smoking a cigarette and sitting on the sidewalk. He has a pin on his shirt that reads: “Middle Class” and holds a sign out that reads: “Will work for housing”. It would be critical that he is looking up at the business men but they are paying no attention to him.

I think this will pretty accurately describe the situation going on in our country right now. If someone out there comes across this and is an artist, please share your interpretation of this with me and I will host it here, link to a site of your choosing, and give you credit for the drawing. I can’t draw for shit otherwise I would do it.
