Cartoon #3

A question that has arisen among citizens is: Where the government is getting the 7 billion dollars to bail out these businesses? In this cartoon we see a sign that says “The Amazing Bail-Out!” and a “magician” pulling $7 billion out of a hat. This is actually how the government is acting. Like they have $7 billion to throw around, like it’s no big deal. Ask yourself: Where does the government get most of their money? The taxpayers. And with this bailout they will have to steal money from us through taxes to pay it off. We then see a woman and a man next to one another. The woman says “WOW! That’s incredible! How’d they do that?!” and the man replies “I know haw it’s done…I’m a taxpayer, you can’t fool me!…It’s all done with mirrors!” Then you see a bunny with a fishing pole stealing wallets from people’s pockets. This is how it will have to be done! If we want to live in a free country we have to pay taxes, and the government can charge however much they want. Then again, if we don’t go with the bailout, hundreds of people will lose money and these huge businesses will crash. We have to decide what’s more important. In the end, most people, other than the owners of these businesses, are undecided. It’s a rock and a hard place.
