Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for April 28, 2011

I’m glad that they are not showing the end result.

Congress in action.

No; that would be Congress inaction.

Trickle-down economics.

A raw deal.

That’s a picture of the Republican Party eating Americans.

A big fish in an ever shrinking pond.

Survival of the fattest.

Trickle-out economics.

A merger due to microeconomic reform?

So you saying Adam Smith was wrong? Hello, Commission on UnAmerican Activities, I’d like to report a commie.

Wouldn’t it be ironic if the big fish swallowed some Piranhas?!

Trickle-down economics - The rich urinating on the poor.

Or everyone’s money going to Washington for a very expensive night on the town, and then trickling down through layer after layer of bureaucracy until what little is left dribbles down to the ‘beneficiaries’.

at a scented flower - still aint fooled; why bother

Dave “Big Fish” Koch to Gov Scott “a Little Fishy” Walker, “Hey, it’s too late to have second thoughts, no collective whining. Now, for my dessert order, ram through those delicious no-bid power plant sales!”

……and you think your life is Crappy?

So why does everything have to be political with you guys? This cartoon just says that if you blindly follow the guy in front of you, you could be making a big mistake. Seems to me it doesn’t really describe any of our political fiascoes, but is rather more like the way you guys are trying to force it to fit that mold.

The winner is… TheDOCTOR!

WaitingMan: I’ve heard of that system–where the rich spend money on yachts and caviar and the like, and their gold kind of showers down on the middle class and poor. It’s called the “golden shower” theory…

Doctor, didn’t you mean to spell that “crappie?”

“Trickle-down economics - The rich urinating on the poor.”

I call it Tinkle-down economics.

It’s better than trickle-up poverty, which is the current system. Making everyone equally miserable seems to be what you folks get excited about.

Little fishes = taxes of middle and lower class Big fish = those taxes going to banks and Wall St. so they can give out bigger bonuses. Also = taxes going to subsidies for oil companies who made record profits.

Back end = the bleeep that comes out of politicians mouths to keep us from rebelling and forcing them to play fair instead of play favorites.

newly discoverd, lemming fish! (ducks shoes…)

An interesting variation on the usual fish-eat-fish-eat-fish cartoon.

“A back-end deal.” Pretty apt description. Sounds like the same thing coming out of their mouths every time they talk, too.
