The US Government focuses on cheating their way into making money rather than putting in the effort to make money the proper and correct way. This political cartoon depicts a government official reading the new employee, "How to Steal" handbook. While the official is reading this, he proposes that the handbook looks like a clue. The clue he is referring to is in the title, "How to Steal". This phrase states that the government is trying to teach the officials how to steal, just to make the US wealthier. On the agenda of the US Treasury, is a tax scam trial. Once again, the government is trying to make an easy dollar, this time forcing the US citizens to be the victims. Because the government officials are only focusing on making money, they are not paying to their moral ethics. Therefore, they are stealing and scamming without regret or feeling shameful. This political cartoon also demonstrates a citizen of the US exclaiming, "That was just the one for beginners." This is referring to the handbook, and it is portraying that all officials are taught this terrible technique. Also, the US public notices all of the stealing and scamming done by the government. The US government obviously takes advantage of their position of authority, and they abuse it. They do not follow their moral ethics either, they only do what they feel will increase the wealth of the United States of America.
