Description | World War II cartoon shows "Taxpayer" John Q. Public lying on an operating table. House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Robert L. Doughton, as a surgeon, has removed "50,000,000,00 in Federal, State and Local Taxes" which are being held in a bag by Senate Finance Committee Chairman Walter George. Meanwhile President Roosevelt, reading the patient's chart, says, "Keep at it, Gentlemen. My diagnosis shows another $16,000,000,000 in there somewhere." The enormous budgets required to finance the war caused an unprecedented rise in taxes. |
