batshit rightwing cartoons: 2012 and imaginary romney presidency years edition

thanks wsj for helping me to better understand from what vantage point some people view the world

top left single mom, now having to cut back on live-in nanny expenses, cheese of the month clubs, and renting instead of buying porn

also wtf all these rich ppl and they can't afford decent hair, ppl who have not learned how to live imo, they all lookalike theyve been playing capture the flag for nine days and then got dressed for church dirctory portraits

Also please note that the only people in the graphic not getting a tax increase are black. WSJ really knows their target audience.

median household income for a single parent is $16,500 FYI

wonder what median household income for a single parent with a WSJ sub is tho

Lower than it should be thanks to Obama

the whole objective of that graphic is to portray the injustice and gross indignity of increasing marginal tax rates

of course you can only illustrate that injury by making up imaginary households that are all have incomes affected by marginal tax rate increases

$180k investment income, yes, that sounds reasonable

hey single person making almost a quarter mil per annum, wow that $3k tax increase is gonna hit you really hard huh

Is there any job outside the financial sector where you make a quarter mil a year?

Offensive lineman

LOOGY

I looked up the salary of a doctor I did some work for. His salary at the teaching hospital alone was $300k.

i know a lot of first year big law associates working in larger markets who start out at 180k. i imagine after a few years they're doing a quarter mil pretty easily?

Medical school costs alot tho.

it's not that people don't make it, it's that only very few people make it

xp Yeah, five year associates at big law firms make that much or more.

Big law firms = financial sector.

(not a batshit rightwing cartoon, though.)

Have we mentioned this one yet?

It's oddly comforting to be reminded Jerkcity is still a thing that exists.

Anyone who's got the day off today is apparently a gummint employee. Huzzah!

Hah that is the lamest.

TBH it is good to be a federal employee, but all the one's I know aren't nearly that smug.

This is a grown man, earning a living by COMPLAINING ABOUT PEOPLE BEING HAPPY ABOUT HAVING A DAY OFF WORK. His soul must be trapped forever in some weird layer of Hell.

they're called assholes.

You think bankers and investors, the heartbeat of our fragile democracy, got to take a day off?

Well yes they did, those fuckers.

it's GOOD to be a garbageman

If someone were to inform this idiot that all the US stock exchanges, the very engine of capitalism, were closed today, he'd probably suffer a fatal stroke on the spot.

For whatever reason I've been peaking at Mallard Fillmore this week. Is Bruce Tinsley always on fire like this?

I can't even comprehend what's happening with this horribly formed "joke"

it's not aesthetically cool to defend the second amendment.

What is cool apparently is making fun of eating disorders!

purge daley is a pretty cute name

american royalty

hardcore band names

It's so true! Hollywood hates guns.

think this is kind of a perfect window into the mentality at this point - basically pick any words Obama says and insert any other unrelated words you like

still going with this shit

"Wow!"

oh FUCK you

Missing only the aborted little sister and MOM'S SPECIAL FEMINIST FRIEND.

disappointed there's no hippie with stink lines, but skull rising from the smoke is a nice touch

RIP Blue collar jobs.

Could be worse, at least Mom is still wearing a skirt tho

The key element is the mom accessories. Maybe if women stopped working, daddy would stay home and welfare would end.

She's not working, she's posting Bob Marley image macros to Facebook all day.

xp it's a slice of pizza, she hasn't noticed it's stuck to her because slovenliness
