It’s not often we make a shameless plug, but in this case it is for a good cause: Art. Billy Walsh of Heckle Sketch did this funny and symbolic painting of Ben Bernanke and his fat cat friends, ”Ben and the Fat Cat Banksters”. This is an acrylic painting and is available in several formats and sizes for reasonable prices.
According to Billy, the not so hidden meaning is:
- The Fed’s money printing press exploding to light the right side of the “globe” carpet on fire.
- A money-rolled cigar dropping ashes to light the left side of the “globe” carpet on fire.
- Fat cat excesses include: a gold G-Sachs charm, a gold BofA belt buckle, gold JPM capped teeth, smoke dollar signs being blown, guzzling a martini, passing out with an empty beer mug, a money-folded paper airplane (on floor toward bottom right), torn pants for becoming too “big for the britches”.
- “HYPER” printing level for the potential of hyperinflation.
- A cat litter box painted like the American flag.

But at the end of the day the rest of the 1% should not be the ones vilified for the problems we face today!
“What if you called 911 and the recording said to try back later?”
“If we lost the 1% of top earners in this country and all became equal earners, the next time you called 911 you shouldn’t be surprised if all you got was a recorded message to try again later!
