Political Cartoon 4

1.     The title for this cartoon would be Tom Corbett’s budget cuts in Pennsylvania. Those words are being used because the artist wants to mention about the budget cut in Pennsylvania.

2.     In this cartoon, there is a fat man in diaper, stroller, candies, Tom Corbett, a schoolgirl and a book. I think the artist is trying to say that Tom Corbett is focusing on the shale drillers than education because he doesn’t want to tax them to make a profit instead he wants to cut down the budget on education.

3.     There is a fat man in diaper that acts like a baby. He is also eating candies and Tom Corbett is pushing him around in a stroller and also kicking a little schoolgirl around at the same time.

4.     The ideological perspective is represented by the cartoonist would be liberal. He thinks that Tom Corbett is being conservative and wants less government regulation on businesses. While on the other hand, he doesn’t really care about our kids’ future and doesn’t want to focus on education.

5.     This cartoon is relates to the Tom Corbett’s budget cuts plan. In class, we also talk about budget cuts and how it would affect the students as a whole. By cutting the budget, it would lead to an increase in college tuitions, less grants and scholarships.

6.     The fat baby in diaper represents the businesses such as shale drillers and how they making a lot of money by not paying tax and using up all the resources.
