Why Not Let Them Have It All?: Wall Street Frauds Make Wonderful Cartoons #98
Today, appropriate to this week’s Republican National Convention, with a born-into-riches millionaire Wall Streeter as the G.O.P. Presidential nominee, calling for still more tax breaks for most wealthy, paid for on the backs of everyone else, we have the Frederick Burr Opper cartoon, Let Them Have It All, and Be Done With It!.
Appearing in this cartoon, which was published on the rear cover of the February 8th, 1882 issue of Puck magazine, are millionaire monopolists and stock market swindlers, William H. Vanderbilt, Jay Gould, Russell Sage, and Cyrus Field.
