This cartoon shows a big boned man with a sachet saying Capitalizim. He is squeezing money out of a man labeled labor. He is standing next to bags of money labeled profits of child labor. The main visual elements are the caption, the fat man, and the guy he is strangling. This cartoon shows how there are greedy capitalists out there who try to squeeze (in this cartoon literally squeeze) every last drop of money out of people even though they have more than enough of everything that they need. I think that the author is trying to show that greedy people will do what ever they can to get money. The author is also making a point that capitalism can make that happen.
Evidence that shows this is that the man's huge amount of money came from child labor and that he is squeezing money out of his helpless workers. The caption definitely shows the point I am trying to make. I think that it would have gotten this authors point across even better if they had shown the fatty is more luxurious clothes or eating something to show how rich and greedy the capitalists on the top of the pyramid can be.
