| Description | World War II cartoon shows John Q. Public (labeled "John Q. Taxpayer") smiling in his sleep and saying, "Don't wake me up," as he dreams a happy dream. In the dream, a stalwart Thomas E. Dewey holds a frightened little John Q. Taxpayer in his arm and wards off Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau who stands ready to scoop him into a bag. Dewey was the Republican candidate for president in the 1944 elections, and Berryman views him as likely to oppose the continued efforts of Morgenthau to raise taxes to support the war. |
