Sunday Graphic: Pyramid of the capitalist system (for those who have not seen it)

1. Question.

Would that pancake at free fall speed?

Or would the people create a delay where it fell slower then free fall?

[Quantess]

2. If I had to guess

I would say the Eat For You level would collapse first.

[Quantess]

5. Or,

the giant money bag would fall off and the whole thing would implode.

8. Funny, but when the top tiers crumble in the financial crisis...

They just made the bottom sink to their knees!

[RandomThoughts]

10. I don't see the bottom sinking.

although in my thoughts it is upside down in that form anyways.

14. If we could collapse the "We Fool You" level,

I think the rest would easily fall.

3. My father was a life-long member of the IWW, and I'm well familiar with that poster.

But anyhow, I Gogled it to get more information about it. To my great surprise, I found it to be considered among the "50 Informative and Well-Designed Infographics"!

7. Those are fantastic

Would you mind if I posted one next week?

[pnorman]

11. I may have worded that posting carelessly.

That website with those graphics is something that I had found on the web, while Googling that IWW poster. I have nothing to do with it at all. Bearing in mind Fair Usage, you should feel free to post a few (citing the source of course).

Yes, they are fantastic!

12. Excellent graphic. The teabaggers do not realize they are on the bottom of that pyramid..

just like the rest of us...

[Mimosa]

15. That is so true

A teabagger thinks somebody poorer than him or her wants to take their $65,000 or $120,000 away from them. They imagine they've got a chance at the brass ring. ;)
