That undesirable tenant

One image depicts a landlord (crooked politics) warning a tenant (crime), "there's been a lot of complaints about you from the other tenants--YOU'LL HAVE TO GET OUT OR-," while a man, a woman, and a child (honest citizens) listen to the conversation in the background. A second image depicts the same tenant (crime) reaching into his pocket for money (graft) while the landlord (crooked politics) extends his hand and states, "--or pay your rent."
