Print shows an interior view of the office at a charitable organization. A bloated manager sits at a desk with his feet on top. In the background, several men hold open a large money bag to catch money flowing from a large cornucopia labeled “Charity.” The money goes down a chute “For Salaries, Office Rent, and Miscellaneous Expenses.” A couple pennies spill from a smaller chute into a basket “For Actual Relief of the Poor.”
Caption: Too often its benefits go to the organizers.
