Exactly right - its in the first panel; “giving back”. It’s addressing the scraps that whales (large donor’s, sought by non-profit organizations) throw to NPO’s to “give back” to their community, which they also claim on their taxes as a donation.
Not even fair there tho, in nature predators maintain a stable environment by regulating prey populations to sustainable sizes.
An equivalent under capitalism would be stronger anti-monopoly law and laws imposing heavy regulation on businesses above a given size within their respective markets.
A big hunter that keeps grazers at a size that doesn’t allow them to begin just eating everything and starving everyone else out while depleting the resource well for all.
Everyone is interpeting the comic wrong, shitty title most likely.
Lions = billionaires
Gazelle = workers
Why do the workers need education? To be taught to accept their place in the food chain. It’s about propaganda, not taxes.
I like your interpretation but the title is literally the title the artist gave it. I’m not sure who is right, the artist or the observer.
Couldn’t it be that charity donations are tax deductible?

The artist posted it? Well lemmy play my “art is interpreted by the viewer” card then.
Otherwise, 🤷♂️
The OP is not the artist, but they linked the source site for the comic which uses the same title.
I think it’s just another reference to how the rich stay rich, not exactly tied to the content of the comic but the theme.
This, they only tell you “Oh Gates dropped out and he became the richest man!”
In order to instill you with the idea that the rich are great men who can do the impossible and get good results…
They keep quiet that he dropped out of Harvard and his Mother gave him a contract because she owned IBM.
What is the interpretation of the people that think it is tax related?
