This John Heartfield artwork reminds me of a couple of zeroes. [View all]
Translation:
"Kleiner Mann bittet um Grosse gaben" means "Little man asks for big gifts."
"Motto: MILLIONEN STEHEN HINTER MIR!" means "Motto: MILLIONS ARE BEHIND ME!"

For some reason, unfortunately, I'm not having a hard time figuring out the symbolism. The great antifascist John Heartfield understood what his beloved Germany faced in the 1930s. Are there any current figures you see in U.S. politics today who might fit into the two figures above?
