I shared a cartoon last Halloween that made fun of those who support class-warfare tax policy.
Now we have a related cartoon, featuring a stop at the White House.
Republicans will like the ghost’s comments, of course.
The next two cartoons are almost identical. We’ll start with this one from Michael Ramirez.
Ramirez is one of my favorite cartoonists, incidentally, and you can see more of his work here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here.
Here’s a Gary Varvel cartoon with the exact same message.
Instead of great minds thinking alike, this is a case of great cartoonists thinking alike. Though they probably have great minds as well.
But I don’t want to make too many fawning comments since I would modify both of these cartoons so that the kids were looking at papers that said “Medicare” and “Social Security” instead of “debt.”
It’s always important to focus first and foremost on the disease of spending, after all, and not the symptom of red ink.
Last but not least, I can’t resist linking to this comedian’s video, which includes some very good economic insights about work incentives.
Sort of like this Wizard of Id parody featuring Obama.

Michael has a lot in common with something I read the other day about ‘what this administration knows about economics would fit on a postage stamp.’ I mean, how DARE those Republicans to ALLOW Americans to keep their own money! I’m shocked…really! I’d advise Michael to get an education, but his delusions are hard won. And always remember, kids: 4 Trillion deficit in 8 years by a Republican = Bad. 5+ Trillion in 4 years by a Dhimmicrat = Good, and all that deficit spending without a bad old budget to get in the way. “Never let a crisis go to waste.” BRILLIANT!
Right Michael because going from $10+ trillion in debt to $16+ in the last four years is all on Republicans!!! Next you’ll tell us that it was Clinton not the Contract for America that cut the debt!!
That last cartoon would be more accurate if Reagan, Bush and Bush were handing out the bills. They are the ones that ran up spending while cutting taxes, after all.
