Highway (governmental) Robbery


Primary Focus: Government

I picked these 2 images for their humor, but they really do say a lot of the government. The second one is basically saying that the government is really just a form of organised crime - in other words, they steal from the public. The first one is kind of saying the same thing except focusing more specifically on Obama and his campaign. The picture is claiming that Obama has not gone through his promises of hope and change and even though some people have lost it all you should still be sending whatever you have left to support Obama. I never thought that Obama was doing a bad job at being president but this does show how powerful images are at manipulating people's minds because even though its supposed to be funny I kind of want to drive Obama out of office now and speak up against the governments crimes on the people. Political cartoons have been criticizing the government for years and years now so I feel like the future of the government will pretty much remain the same way it has always been - quietly screwing over the people for their own benefits.
