video here that graphically demonstrates the alarming and increasing inequalities of wealth in the USA (the narrator offers a personal opinion that ‘socialism’ isn’t the answer, which others may disagree with, however the huge disparities of wealth illustrated are unarguable )

Making a killing from human misery and death .. the USA is responsible for more than 75% of the world’s arms trade .. (from this article)
I love political cartoons. They’re funny, sly and subversive. They question authority, draw attention to corruption and highlight social ills. A good cartoon cuts through all of the bullshit straight to the heart of an issue. The right image can be be more effective than the longest, wordiest rant. Its therefore a form that's ideally suited to our attention deficit age. They're irreverent and poke fun at our rulers, of course, but our political system is pretty much surreal comedy anyway. I don't own these images but I enjoy them. I hope you do too.
