I prefer the original version with the Rupert Murdoch allusion.

It bugs me that this image has been altered and reproduced so many times without crediting the artist. It’s a wonderful political cartoon and very pointedly aimed at Rupert Murdoch and NewsCorp.

This is highly unrealistic. The working man has a cookie? A whole one? It's not believable. A fourth of a cookie, maybe.
-
Yeah, I was thinking the same, the worker would have crumb you'd need a microscope to see and the capitalist would be sitting on a mountain of cookies so big you couldn't even see him from the ground ...

Old guy needs a larger pile of cookies and to be setting that guy's house aflame to make more.

That's accurate.

More like: Oh, you want workers rights and a living wage? Meet the scab who is replacing you. He works for less and takes more abuse.
-
Why don't the workers get all the cookies? Are they stupid?

I'm laughing at this because in my state, a bunch of second generation latino construction workers are upset that Mexican construction workers are doing their jobs. And their solution was to vote for Trump, who would lock them all up in cages.

Careful cookie! The foreigner wants you.

The proportion of wealth was a little off; this is a little closer to reality.
Yeah but if the proportion of wealth was accurately reflected, we wouldn't be able to read the speech bubble because the cookies would obstruct it. That is why the artist wisely chose to ensmallen the wealth of the wealthy in this portrayal.
Imagining the rest of the enormous pillar of cookies is left to the viewer, I suppose. Hard to show a tower to Mars all in one frame. seethes quietly at wealth hoarders
