    ...I believe the pyramid with the all seeing eye symbolizes a much worse scene than the "swamry untrustworthy Jew character" scene. Either way, in the end, the money/power trail eventually leads back to the same place with very few actually in control.

    • Rothschild Banks of London and Berlin
    • Lazard Brothers Banks of Paris
    • Israel Moses Seif Banks of Italy
    • Warburg Bank of Hamburg and Amsterdam
    • Lehman Brothers of New York
    • Kuhn, Loeb Bank of New York
    • Chase Manhatten Bank, and
    • Goldman, Sachs of New York

    ...by way of:

    • Citibank
    • Chase Manhatten Bank
    • Morgan Guaranty Trust Company
    • Chemical Bank
    • Fleet Bank
    • Summit Bank
    • Marine Midland Bank

    most people would recognize the pyramid with the all seeing eye because it's on the dollar bill.

    Thing is, if the message can be made without implicating a ethnicity (often times wrongly blamed for other peoples problems), then why would they make it otherwise?

    ...but most have no clue of its origins.

    You'd have to determine who "they" are first...

    thats why the person who put the caricature up, because he (or she) knows most people would instantly catch on to what it was. Well, most adults I think. I felt a little uneasy looking at it, because I knew what exactly it meant to imply. The second picture (the original picture, if you will) is much easier to look at, and has a much deeper meaning.

    The one with the caricature just makes me think "ah, blaming the jews again". The real one makes me think "banks" (which I don't associate with Jewish people).

    but thats just me.

    Jews were historically bankers because money was considered dirty (touched by many people) and as 2nd rate citizens, the duty was put on them.

    Ok, you are getting closer. Now let's note that government contractors and lobbyists are all, 100%, private sector employees.

    So it has nothing to do with transfer of wealth to government workers.

    Is America actually "getting poorer"? No, it is actually Maris just trolling again.

    They're still govt. workers. They're called civilian contractors, among other terms. The point still stands tho... We're being asked to pay higher taxes to support it all.

    That isn't the question. Are Americans actually "poorer" than they were in the past? Or are you just spewing the liberal bumper sticker lines?

    Obamanomics is about making everyone poorer and more dependent on govt. At least that's how it's working out.

    http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/story/2011-09-13/census-household-income/50383882/1

    Granted it's a year old, but welfare being up, median household income down, etc. It's hard to argue we're being more prosperous under Obama than before.

    And now the "poor" have flatscreen TVs, Playstations, cars, refrigerators, credit cards, better healthcare, etc, etc.

    Come back after doing some research and you'll realize the so called "poor" have it better now than any time in history.

    It isn't about Obama or the last few years.

    How many of the country's bottom 1% would trade places with the bottom 1% from 40 years ago?

    The bottom 1% had a very different lifestyle 40 years ago. There were a lot more small farms where people were able to at least feed themselves while living below the poverty line.

    So you think most of today's bottom 1% would trade places with the bottom 1% of 40 years ago?

    The bottom 1% are homeless. In 1970, about 40 years ago, the homeless were a fraction of 1%.

    You tell me.
