I first saw this cartoon on my Facebook page posted by a former student, although the “government” side was labeled “the rich.” I went off on a rant about how stupid the picture was... after all, the guy with the bucket of fish is rich, actually. And I pointed out that the picture was typical Marxist crap about the rich getting wealthy off the labor of the poor.
However...
Your version makes perfect sense. The government produces nothing and can only get what it gets by taking it from the productive. If you’re the person who improved this picture, you get an A for the day. When I get home I’ll post on my own FB page, much to the annoyance of some, pleasure to others. :)
