"Banker Paying and Ordering his Politician" by The Unknown Artist

"A bureaucrat is the most despicable of men, though he is needed as vultures are needed, but one hardly admires vultures whom bureaucrats so strongly resemble. I have yet to meet a bureaucrat who is not petty, dull, witless, crafty or stupid, an oppresor or a thief, a holder of little authority in which he delights, as a boy delights in possessing a vicious dog. Who can trust such a creature?"
- Marcus Tullius Cicero

"Banker Paying and Ordering his Politician," mixed media computer graphics and oil on canvas by The Unknown Artist,

depicts such a man with his boss, the banker.
