Our rich uncle and his poverty stricken son

Uncle Sam leans over a large barrel filled with money (treasury surplus), some documents (U.S. prosperity and world's richest nation) lay next to the barrel. Meanwhile, a U.S. army soldier in a ragged uniform (faded out uniforms) holds a plate of food with the tag "31 cents for daily ration per man."
