#851; Making Good on the Dream

Comic Transcripts

[[A thin man in black suit is speaking. In the next panel, it is revealed he is speaking to a wide man in a grid suit. They are in front of a cemetary]]
Black suit; Imagine a PERFECT manifestation of the American Dream. Everybody’s work rewards them abundantly. Any person willing to put in an HONEST DAY’S LABOR is paid well enough to live in comfort and provide for their family. Nobody need work TRIPLE SHIFTS simply to have enough to SCRAPE BY, or live in fear of being BANKRUPTED by a FREAK INJURY or ILLNESS.

Black suit; Is this a worthwhile goal? Would you consider it a good idea to work toward making this a reality?
Plaid suit; Not if ONE SINGLE PENNY of my personal earnings is CONFISCATED to help FREELOADERS. I’d rather STRUGGLE and DIE a MARTYR than contribute any benefit to ANY person that /I/ don’t feel they DESERVE.

Plaid Suit; I put in my hours DAY IN and DAY OUT. I EARN my money by the SWEAT of my brow, and the money I make is DESERVEDLY MINE. The only government /I/ want to support is one that recognizes the VALUE of my labor!
Black Suit; And what do you do?
Plaid Suit; I am the inventor of ‘Truck Nutz’
