Original artwork description:

A work boot has been lodged in my mind, in light of the recent catastrophic failures of the ruling class and unsurprising realisations such as Donald Trump not paying tax.

However the myth that billionaires are job makers and vital to the economy still persists like a poorly placed boil on the arse of the world. We are fed and gobble greedily the dream that we one day may be fantastically wealthy, causing us to vote for parties that refuse to tax the super rich fairly.

So terrified are they, that we will eventually discover an alternative to what we have now (one where they will be treated like the rest of us that) they have started to ban any literature that presents an alternative to the current form of capitalism in UK schools. This could absurdly include anything from MLK to Jack London.

The boot is for all of those who work hard and play fairly, knowing that when others succeed we all succeed.
