    Those were simpler days.

    Between Fascists like ol’ Adolph, Benito and Hirohito we could spot our enemies. (Well, more or less. They were little yellow people, wops or krauts.)

    Now when we meet the enemy, we find that he is us.

    And what a formidable foe he is.

    Between Wall Street profiteers, the banks, all of the useless services we find ourselves to, at great humiliation and expense, and our own cupidity, stupidity sort-sightedness and greed, we are all going to branch offices of “The Incontinent Bank.

    Yes. The Incontinent Bank. Pissing Away Your Money Since 2001.

    Sucks to be us…

    Too bad that is all a bunch of BS. Taxes don’t pay for wars, loans from banks pay for wars.

    Heck, we just keep rolling our WW2 debt over. It should have been paid off in the 1960s, but instead we got welfare. The banks don’t mind, since they just keep making money on the interest.

    And how is saving money related to taxation? Oh, if you save money instead of spending, they get to tax you even more, though inflation and capital gains taxes!

    Did like how the nazi door turned into a V with …- on the floor. Doubt too many people know what that is, but in the 40s every boy scout understood it.

    #3…I believe it was Reddy Kilowatt, wasn’t it?
    The cartoon shows how different the country was 66 years ago. Now, nobody gives a shit about the enemies of our country, and instead, turns us against each other. It’s politically incorrect to even POINT OUT that Muslims want to destroy the United States and all the pretty little boys and girls riding in mommy’s Subaru.

    It is time to start the discussion of raising American taxes to pay for what we, as a society, want.

    Well… good ol’ war propaganda and agree with #2 – the simpler days. The problem now is we have no idea who the enemy is, however it looks as we have become our own worst enemy. We ale sppoked by our own shaddow… while we privatize the wars. How crazy is that?

    Give Mr. Fusion a Cupie doll.

    Seriously, do you ever see ‘Merican’s being grown up enough to do this?

    Do you ever see ‘Mericans wanting anything but more, now and for less?

    This country will lament the last generation as being the last generation of native sons with aspirations.

    I’m watching the self-absorbed, self-interested selfish citizens of the United States rape their own country and being unable to stop it.

    Its disturbing, but then this is one shift in technology which has outstripped the people’s capacity to adapt to it.

    The ‘Mericans simply lacked the imagination to see what was up the hill.

    That’s right human resources…pay your taxes! That way, the boots on the ground (like me) can keep sending bullets down range. Don’t blame me…I’m just there because the Commander in Chief (former) said they were bad and lied to the world, the American people, and Congress, about how they had all these weapons of mass destruction.

    He lied, but no censure or impeachment for him. In order to be impeached you must lie about something much more grievous. You must lie about extra-marital sex between an adult man and woman. Wasting a trillion dollars and tens of thousands of lives is not worth review by Congress. Just keep approving the budget…slaves!

    When everything goes to shit, I’ll just burn my copy of the US Constitution to help keep me and my family warm because that’s all it appears to be good for.

    #2 Don’t forget, with your taxes you help bail out failed banks. So, who’s the enemy again?

    #7 Yeap, that’s your wet dream, freeloader.

    “Payroll withholding” for federal income taxes – one (and, of course, there have been many) of the biggest cons ever instituted on the good old USA taxpayer.

    #10 O’Really said – “I’m just there because the Commander in Chief (former)…….”

    When I was in the service and absolutely quit listening to anything LBJ said, I don’t remember blaming JFK. He was gone. LBJ was President. Until a few days ago, Obama and the Democrats were running the whole show. No?

    Yep that’s America!

    Ethics lessons from a cross-dressing, egomaniac who built his empire on the backs of real innovators and artists.

    Hypocrisy, the American Way.

    Being born in 1949 I remember these cartoons from the Saturday matinées of my 50′s youth. They seemed strange and outdated even then.

    Now,I roam around the western US. Visiting small towns and lone prairie gas stations where I chat up the locals. Everyone knows we are in trouble. The short-order cook, the truck mechanic, the tire store guy, EVERYONE.

    The only ones in denial are the liberal elites running the average western town (Ketchum, Missoula, Aspen, etc). These east coast/California over-educated idiots keep experimenting with affordable housing requirements on development(now illegal), community funded YMCA’s, community councils (read: more bureaucracy), and so forth.

    Now, don’t get me wrong, all their ideas sound good on paper but they DON’T work and they cost too much. And, in some cases they are already against the law.

    Let’s get back to basics. Everyone learn to make something that they can trade for something else. For instance. Make cookies. Trade them for an oil change. Change someone’s oil for their attention to your dog’s heart worms. Anything. It will kill the Chinese over night. That’s what I think.

    I think I hate Donald Duck now. Prior to this cartoon people paid their taxes quarterly and wrote out a check for it. In those times people actually held their representatives responsible for spending their money, and voted them out of office if they spent too much. But during WW!! the U.S. government took a cue from the unions and tried to pass a bill to withhold your taxes from your check so that you don’t miss them. This cartoon was a way to win support from the American people. Since then government spending and taxes have never been the same. Everyone should read the Fair Tax Book.

    Obama didn’t send Collin Powell to the UN to lie about WMD, Obama didn’t authorize the invasion of Iraq, Obama didn’t endorse no bid contracts to KBR, a company that Cheney was a shareholder, Obama didn’t stand before Congress and LIE to America about the “yellow cake uranium” that Saddam was using to build his nu-cle-ar arsenal, Obama didn’t have a cabinet that made more false statements than Pinocchio about how Saddam was amassing a huge arsenal of chemical and biological weapons….did he????? NO!

    You can blame Obama and the Democrats for keeping us there, but you can keep denying the fact that GW Bush pulled a $1,000,000,000,000 (and counting) wool blanket over our eyes.

    Not much point having a discussion about raising taxes when the taxes aren’t used to pay for government. Anyone competent would be discussion ending and replacing fiat money first.

    I do.

    Many of us know how we got there. Doesn’t change things. This is where we are, prolonging it (at this point in time)isn’t Bush’s fault, and believe me, I am no fan of Bush.

    A national sales tax would get everybody who spends money. But, of course, without the IRS, the government would not be able to intimidate and punish the citizens.

    Dan Carlin (podcast almost as good as the boys here), has pointed out that the IRS is a great way for the Feds to insure certain behaviors of states and citizens.

    And, oh yes, I did notice John’s mention on NA of the Marines questionaire regarding confiscation of all American’s firearms. That will be when Sock Monkey goes with the UN anti gun treaty.
    Thing to do would be to “lose” your guns now, and file a police report.
