How America's oligarchs lull us with the be-your-own-boss fairy tale
Man, I wish this one had a higher-rez original. The 19th century painting of a kid being read a bedtime story by her kindly granny was *perfect*, except it was only 804 pixels wide! The grinning Uncle Sam is from Keppler (Keppler's Uncle Sams are many, varied, and *great*). The grinning kid is from a 19th century collection of photos of child laborers, and I *love* his expression (he's a newsie).
