Bribery for a Bill......


- This time the cartoon is sort of how some bills get passed into laws.  The title is "How a Bill Becomes Law".  The comic is simple.  The man tries to bribe the other guy to get his law passed or atleast dealt with first.  It basically just reinforces the fact that money is the basic root of politics.  If you have a lot of money then you will probably have a better chance of succeding.  I feel that that is one of the messages the author is trying to portray with the cartoon.

- The only object in the cartoon is the money.  It clearly represents how easy getting a bill you like passed with a little use of money.  Obviously there is no political ideology being favored in this cartoon since both sides bribe all the time.  Since we are passing bills in class, I figured it would be a good time to post a cartoon like this.  The comedic part about this cartoon is that the government is "SUPPOSE" to be fair and just when we all know that it runs strictly on money.  If thats not ironic I dont know what is.
