Relevant Herblock quote. (Famous cartoonist)
This is from the new HBO Documentary "Herblock:The Black and the White".
"When people with large financial interests are helped by government, to the tune of vast sums, that is not considered help, aid or welfare. It's considered part of our economic system.
I agree that our welfare system should be reformed, and we can start by recognizing that corporation executives and other representatives of special interests who receive government handouts and benefits are welfare recipients." --Herbert Block
From Wikipedia:
On January 27, 2014, a new documentary, Herblock: The Black & The White, executive produced by George Stevens Jr., produced and directed by his son, Michael Stevens, and co-written by Stevens and Sara Lukinson, premiered on HBO. The documentary interviews Jon Stewart, Lewis Black, Tom Brokaw, Bob Woodward, Carl Bernstein, Jules Feiffer, Ted Koppel and Ben Bradlee as witnesses to Block’s life, work and indelible contribution to American satire.
The subjects he drew about are still with us today--the poor, war, money corrupting politics.
