The three figures on the left, ranging in age and gender, represent the majority view throughout the summer and fall of 2011. They band together, pointing the finger of blame and caution to big government’s puppeteering of our future. Big government is represented by the soldier who rides the back of a big baby, representing our future because sometimes our nation’s future can seem like a big bumbling baby that needs to be led around. The pitchfork and hand trap the baby to symbolize the fine line between the evil actions of politics and the hasty actions of the public.
