Satire Blog Post

In the above cartoon, a donkey is firing a cannon labeled "Taxes" at one of two targets. The idea here is that the Democrats are increasing taxes, which will hit the Middle Class much harder than the rich. This cartoon is an example of Juvenalian Satire. I know this because I has a pessimistic attitude has anger driven towards the Democrats. I also know this is a satire as there caricatures; or physical exaggerations of these groups. The donkey looks ugly and lazy, the apple is small and shining and the middle class is the biggest and is very nervous.
