Fat cat

From Free net encyclopedia

Fat cat is slang term which describes a rich, greedy person who, due to ownership of large amounts of capital, is able to "live easy" off the work of others. Often, those labeled "fat cats" will reap a sustantial financial gain from a business, while the business itself, and the people who are employed by it, do not. The term is also sometimes used to refer disparagingly to wealthy contributors to a political campaign.

Fat cat imagery is commonly used in editorial cartoons.
