Daryl Cagle's Political Cartoon #1

The cartoon shows a pool encrypted by an IRS tax form. A man, followed by his wife and two children are about to jump into the "tax" pool that is shark infested. This is to show the irony of filing your taxes, which Mr. Cagle displays as a death trap for a couple that will also affect their young and future offspring. This cartoon expresses a more conservative side given its obvious resentment towards filings taxes. Furthermore, the husband has a look of uncertainty as to whether or not he should jump in order to symbolize one's indecisive thought process when trying to understand the logic and benefit of filing one's taxes.
