| Description | Cartoon shows a parrot (labeled "Government Official") in a dress coat and silk hat, croaking, "More taxes! More taxes! More taxes!" A small container on his perch is labeled "Put Your Bird Seed Here." The cartoon reflects the fact that in February, as Franklin Roosevelt prepared to assume the presidency, many people still believed that the way to end the Depression was to cut government spending and reduce taxes. |
