A Perfect Cartoon Summary of Occupy Wall Street

This very short short by New York animation legend Candy Kugel and Rick Broas serves as a great summary of the Occupy Wall Street movement. Even though it was made a couple months before the protests began, Little Piggies captures the frustration of many Americans with politicians in Washington–Democrats and Republicans alike–who collude with corporations and lobbyists at the expense of the other 99 percent. Many Americans feel it’s time for corporations to stop dictating the country’s policies and for a restoration of genuine public service by the government. That’s why thousands will be marching in downtown Manhattan this afternoon and why I’ll be among them.
