John Darkow's cartoon shows a helicopter approaching a grand yacht called Moneybags, complete with an American flag waving, while bold text declares that all those new IRS agents are coming after you, knowing where the money is. A tiny inflatable boat labeled middle class holds a family of three, paddling in the water nearby. The scene captures the essence of IRS agents targeting wealthy tax evaders, contrasting the opulent vessel against the modest raft.

The dry humor in the composition points to tax policy inequality, making it a sharable piece of political commentary.
