You'll have to make a specific allegation first. I wouldn't presume to guess what "transgression" you're referring to. Are you referring to labor law or employment law? Let me know, and I'll try to help you out.

However, I do not accept the burden to prove the implication in a political cartoon, least of all from you (who declines to explain anything or answer any questions, as you recall). I might be tempted to, if someone else went through that process relative any other cartoon posted here. I'm sick of answering people's questions, and fulfilling burdens that others do not take on for themselves.

"But I'll tell you what they don't want... Yhey don't want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don't want well-informed, well-educated people capable of critical thinking. They're not interested in that. That doesn't help them. That's against their interests. They don't want people who are smart enough to sit around the kitchen table and figure out how badly they're getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard 30 fucking years ago. You know what they want? Obedient workers � people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork but just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, reduced benefits, the end of overtime and the vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it. And, now, they're coming for your Social Security. They want your fucking retirement money. They want it back, so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street. And you know something? They'll get it. They'll get it all, sooner or later, because they own this fucking place. It's a big club, and you ain't in it. You and I are not in the big club."

It all helps the gin budget...
