A visual summary of inequality. Cartoon from last year.

#wealth #poverty #inequality

Cartoon showing a cliff with a giant pool on top filled with money, with a few superrich swimming in and lounging by the pool. A vertical conveyor belt transporting money from the bottom of the cliff to the pool is powered by people on unicycles, balancing precariously on a spinning rod. Signs on the cliff face read 'keep pedaling' One person has fallen off the unicycle and is falling down, passing a red painted line on the cliffside, with the text 'poverty line'.

“If they want to eat they should get a job!”

“My taxes shouldn’t pay for people who aren’t productive”

“It’s their fault they’re hungry”

My latest is about the ‘useless eater’ rhetoric that has dominated social media ever since news broke that SNAP wouldn’t be funded in November.

People are blaming individuals for what is clearly a society wide failure.

Wealth inequality coupled with rising prices and falling wages mean millions rely on food assistance to survive.

In three days, 42 million Americans will be without food. They will start to starve.

No one deserves this.

No One "Deserves" to Starve

SNAP funding is set to expire at the end of the month, meaning 42 million Americans will go hungry. A large percentage of those on SNAP are disabled, and many won't be able to stand in a bread line.
