Big Corporations

The cartoon says "The Board has decided to let you go for poor performance. Take your measly quarter billion severance package and hit the street!"
On the side wall it says "really big corporation".
Obviously we can tell that these are business men at a business meeting in some large city in America.
The meaning to this cartoon is that big corporations are taking over this country and all the money in it. Some of the most highly paid employees of this country are those involved with big corporations. I mean it is absurd, and the punch line of this joke, that a man who is getting fired gets paid more money in his severance package then most people make in their entire year’s salary.

It seems outrageous how some people can make so much money, such as these business men (which btw a lot have to climb over people, figuratively, to get to the top and do a lot of dirty work) while a lot of others have to suffer in poverty even though they are good people. Hopefully, one day, big businesses and corporations will not be as scandalous and filthy rich as they are and the economy will equalize in this country.

I enjoyed this post because I never see anyone blog about a comic. I think it is ridiculous how some people make so much money while others who do much more strenuous work make less money.

It is really sad that many people work so hard, still cannot even make enough money to support their families with a stable life, while some businessmen hardly do any work and are very successful. They say that if you go to a good college you will have a promising future, but I don't think that's the case anything. It's more of a luck game now...all dealing with what connections you have.
