3. They might have to share.

We need to keep hammering on wealth inequality. One glaring issue is that many Americans don't seem to really understand how much wealth a billionaire has. They don't grasp what a billion looks like. They buy into oil and gas company (and other big corporations) subsidies and tax breaks when these companies are making billions in profit. They hear nothing about the impact of corporate stock buy backs from our media.

Young people seem to be into anime and other cartoon formats. Maybe this can illustrate wealth disparity better.
