Cartoon: The Grasshopper and the Ant created 1933 during the 1st Great Depression: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wM1DgihKHVI&feature=related
That cartoon is good. Unfortunately, its premised on the ants voluntarily helping the grasshopper, who sees the error of his ways. Today, the government would force the ants to give food to the grasshopper and the grasshopper would convince himself that he deserved it.
“The World Owes Us a Living” indeed.
