Another picture for them to paint

An artist (our foreign critics) painting a portrait (the dollar chaser) because alarmed when his subject seems to have undergone a change. The portrait shows a man (U.S. citizen) holding a bag of money and trying to catch a flying dollar with wings with a net. Instead the man in front of him (U.S. citizen) is dressed as Santa Claus and carrying a giant bag (hundreds of millions of dollars worth of Christmas presents given away to loved ones, to friends and charity), the picture of American generosity. In the foreground, a finished portrait (Uncle Shylock), depicts a stern Uncle Sam holding a bag of money.
