Does the rather large, self-serving guy in blue represent the capitalist?

No, that would be the liberal.:duh:

Not in my rendition!
...to each their (utterly SUBJECTIVE) own... I suppose.
Maybe you can explain to me what the rather large, self-serving guy in blue is selling to the man reading the newspaper that the man reading the newspaper has agreed to purchase?
All I see is the wealth distribution tactics favored by the liberals.
That wouldn't be a fair representation of what I was noting so I'm not sure about the point of using that in conjunction. :idunno:

It is a fair representation of the point that Christian Liberty was making, which you objected to.
So tell me, did you notice how the taxpayer reading the newspaper is giving coin to the large charitable institution known as the Federal Government in the blue shirt?
Wealth (re-)distribution.....wealth acquisitiveness. :idunno:
Like I said...it's all in the interpretation.
I object to irrationality. When someone calls property or taxation theft they're being irrational. You can't have a meaningful conversation with someone who reserves the right to change the meaning of words to suit their context.
I saw the cartoon. It represents a skewed perspective on taxation, not the reality of it. Reminds me of people who intone, "If you're not a liberal when you're young you have no heart and if you're not a conservative when you're older you have no head" or something to that effect. It's just an expression of self serving bias, not a truth that it's offered as.
Or, like I said, no one is forcing anyone to watch the movie, but if you want the benefit you have to pay for your ticket...or find another movie, but don't tell me you're being robbed in the middle of the film if there's an exit.

And still that very concept was one of the reasons for the Revolutionary War that created the United States of America.
Liberals do it, conservatives do it, advertisers do it.
You just need to get used to this, since it is not going away.
You have three people, two of them vote to take money from the third.
That is democracy.
:chuckle: But shouldn't you then change young to poor and heart to food?Fixed!

Liberals always take the side of the vile. Except when they have supported abolition, women's suffrage, workers' rights, civil rights, the social safety net...

libertarians get it. Paleocons, constitutionalists and reconstructionists get it to varying degrees (and if those are the type of people you are calling "conservative" than OK). But modern conservatives typically do not get it anymore than liberals do, IMO.
Interestingly enough, conservatives generally make it just fine through the lean years. ...(or so they proudly tout)
If only their memories were as stout and persistent as their stature.

Not all of those things are good.

Liberals do it, conservatives do it, advertisers do it.
What is done is change the meaning of words to suit their context.
You do it, too, but you don't get it.
