I chose this comic because it is pretty great and  relevant to class. There are so many funny occupy Wall St. pictures but I decided to choose this one because of it's sarcastic tone. The sock puppets symbolize the innocence of childhood. When we were younger adults would use puppets to help us learn while being entertained, and so this comic is showing how even as an "adult" we have to be spoon fed the truth. There's even singing at the end to keep our attention! I love how at the end you see the shnazzy  business suit the puppeteer is wearing, showing the reader where all the lies come from.

The truth about our medicare system hits hard because everyone has experienced some sort of medical bill. My brother, Kyle, and I were in a bad car wreck when I was in eight grade and we had to stay over-night. The ambulance ride alone was $1000 and we only rode like 10-20 minutes to the hospital. We both had to also get CAT scans because he had amnesia, which cost even more. I don't remember how much the little event cost my parents but I know our deductible was really high.

I don't know why everyone is complaining about President Obama when things haven't gotten any worse. Maybe it's time for this country to change more than just Wall St. That will never happen though because people are stubborn, which isn't always a bad thing. Acceptance of others and cooperation of every American will be the keys to making some actual change in our lifetime.
