Mitt Romney recently got in trouble for his comment about how much he likes firing people, which is sort of a scary and vindictive thing to say for a potential future president. He has links with big companies that exist solely to fire employees and sell out other companies, and that is to what the cartoon is referring. It uses a caricature of a small, "every millionaire," (rather than everyman) with a "1%" badge, to represent Romney's connection to wealthy Americans. The cartoonist, Tom Toles, views this situation cynically and depicts Romney as being kind of an imbecile.
