1. Tom Toles
2. The key objects of the cartoon are the pile of money, the shovel, and Uncle Sam. The pile of money represents the ills with the U.S. government as politicians get elected on money, which are highly attributed to Super PACs and their unlimited budget to advertise for a politician. The shovel emphasizes how deep America is influenced by Super PACs. Uncle Sam is typically seen as the pure representative of America who represents the American ideal of democracy. His placement in the cartoon accentuates just how big this problem is if he is desperately digging to find democracy.
3. The cartoonist uses exaggeration and symbolism (uncles sam) to address the issue of Super PACs control over democracy through its unlimited budget.
4. The cartoon is emphasizing the ills of Super PACs and how they have put a wall between America and it's progress to achieve democracy.
5. The cartoon is saying that Super PACs are bad and are ruining America.
6. The cartoonist has a negative view of Super PACs.
