The cartoon you are referring to shows three business men in front of the U.S. Founding Fathers. One of them, acting as a spokesperson, interpellates the writers of the Constitution by asking them to scratch the first words of the Constitution ("We, the people..") and replace them with the statement "We, the anonymous corporate donors, untraceable foreign contributors and assorted billionaires.."
