1. Not far from the truth but most people aren't looking at it right at all.

That cartoon probably is about tax subsidies big corporations get. Fine, but what about wealthy people actually making fortunes directly from us taxpayers?

A member of the 1% invested heavily in the right corporations and maybe even "working" as an executive officer for one, makes a huge haul in tax dollars. Look at what the CEO of a major defense contractor must be getting from us. We pay for fuel, computers, software, everything the government and military uses. The people at the top rake most of that in. I bet it could be shown that what what many of them take in directly from us taxpayers is a joke compared to what they pay out in income taxes.
