Missing the fourth panel, where Moneybags shoves one of the workers over the line and announces "They hate you for your success!", while the rest of the crowd stabs the outsider with pitchforks.

Cartoon could use a "priest" as well. Spouting Prosperity Gospel to keep the rubes in line. "My friend is rich because God has chosen him to BE rich, so his wealth is proof of God's favor!"

And telling all the poor people how much of a sin their envy and greed is, of course!

Phase 4: "Build a wall over that line or the outsiders will come and take your wall building job."

Fear begins to vanish when we realise
That countries are just lines
Drawn in the sand with a stick

Enter Shikari - ...Meltdown

And similarly, from Tool's "Right In Two":

Monkey killing monkey killing monkey over
pieces of the ground
Silly monkeys
Give them thumbs, they make a club
to beat their brother down
How they've survived so misguided is a mystery
Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability
to lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here

Or Outernational's "Fighting Song:"

Look down at our planet from the heavens above

See it as it is, see it as it is

No borders or banks, no wars or tanks

No nations! No nations!
