Try to picture this description of a political cartoon, in two frames:<\/p>\n
A small hand reaches through a hole in the wall, offering a piece of cheese to a large mouse on the other side.<\/p>\n
In small letters the hand is labeled\u00a0 “gov’t.”<\/p>\n
In large letters the mouse is labeled\u00a0 “AMERICAN.”<\/p>\n
The second frame shows the mouse (now very small) and the cheese both in the closed fist of the hand (now very large).<\/p>\n
Now in very large letters the hand is labeled\u00a0 “GOVERNMENT.”<\/p>\n
Now in very small letters the mouse is labeled\u00a0\u00a0 “amer. . . ” (not legible)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So much for “free” government handouts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
