Reminds me of when I was denied a raise after my boss congratulated me about how successful my projects were. His explanation: I must be poor because I asked for a raise. And that poor people are poor because they can’t manage money. Hence, rich people deserved all the money because being rich proved they could manage money.
We are not politicians or public thinkers; we are the rich; we own America; we got it, God knows how, but we intend to keep it if we can by throwing all the tremendous weight of our support, our influence, our money, our political connections, our purchased Senators, our hungry Congressmen, our public-speaking demagogues into the scale against any legislature, any political platform, any presidential campaign that threatens the integrity of our estate. —Frederick Townsend Martin 1888

You misspelled “representatives.” Other than that, good ’toon.

Reprehensatives = reprehensible + representatives. Nice portmanteau!
We already have an ever-expanding surplus of reprehensible representatives. Could use far more responsible representatives.
Let voter education begin and willful ignorance end!
