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.
Because "mate" is an Australian thing. They were probably trying to localize it for a non Australian audience. While still valid, the meme hits differently if the rich person is also a foreigner.
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.
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.
