Being a Libertarian who appreciates the origins of the Tea Party (and not the crummy groups calling themselves that who have been co-opted by social conservatives!) I appreciate this toon as a backhanded slap at both groups.
What the “Occupy” groups remind me of is a few quotes…
A liberal is someone who feels a great debt to his fellow man, which debt he proposes to pay off with your money. – G. Gordon Liddy
A government which robs Peter to pay Paul, can always count on the support of Paul. – George Bernard Shaw
The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced. If the nation doesn’t want to go bankrupt, people must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance. – Marcus Tullius Cicero, 55 BC
