| Description | Cartoon shows a little man labeled "Taxpayer" telling a turkey that they are "going to get it in the neck either way." A large sign reads, "Bulletins. President Changes Thanksgiving Date. President Willing to Change Forms of Taxation." In May 1941, President Roosevelt restored Thanksgiving to its traditional date of the last Thursday in November, saying that there was no evidence that moving it to an earlier date had helped business. Earlier in the month, he had recommended a massive increase in taxes, but he urged the restructuring of the tax system so that it would not "make the rich richer and the poor poorer." |
