Boss Tweed

Boss Tweed was the leader of the Tammany Hall political machine in New York City. He worked with the Democratic Party and was arrested for corruption in 1873.

In the image, Boss Tweed, or William Magear Tweed, is cleaning up the street of criminals but he is himself a criminal. It shows the hypocrisy of the political machine and him that he was stealing money from corrupt schemes in New York but was focused as a political leader on getting pickpockets and thieves off of the streets. Tweed was arrested for price gouging, or over charging for city services, and theft of tax dollars which he was able to do by running the political system and placing friends and allies in city jobs.
