I’ve seen a lot more Wall Streeters getting rich and rust belters getting poor than the caption on your cartoon would suggest.

I believe the point was that whenever your economy resembles a lottery, there will be some few individuals who grow wealthy, while the general society descends further and further into poverty. The "poverty" and "wealth" of the cartoon caption refer to societies, not to individuals who profit from rampant speculation.

Ever notice that gold always creeps up $400, but always "plunges" $100?

There is a mortal symbiosis between socialism and paper money...
