wealth disparity

Pat Bagley's 2013 color cartoon captures a luxurious yacht scene labeled 'THE RICH,' where three women embody wealth amid tax season complaints. One lounges in a bikini, another receives a massage, and the third gripes about the stress on her CPAs, lawyers, and lobbyists. A red helicopter hovers above the vessel on blue waters under a clear sky. The artwork ties into IRS, taxes 2013, April 15, tax day, and the 1% themes, offering dry satire on how the elite navigate fiscal duties through hired help. No deeper symbols lurk; it's straightforward visual humor on economic divides.
