Cartoons and Taxes


Below are some Donald Duck propaganda cartoons that the US government used during World War 2. I always find it creepy when a government uses children’s cartoons as a form of propaganda.

It is interesting how the government justified the income tax based on the war. Governments LOVE perpetual war as a method to increase the size and control of government. Liberty and the warfare state are mutually exclusive.

Violence In Chicago

President Obama was disappointed that the Olympic Committee decided not to choose Chicago as the venue for the 2016 Olympics. As President Obama was formerly a successful “community organizer” in Chicago, this defeat must have been especially disappointing. Part of the reason that Chicago may not have been selected is due to how Violence has stricken much of the city. Just a couple of days ago a Chicago student videotaped a murder of an honor student. http://www.csmonitor.com/2009/0929/p02s01-usgn.html (As a side note, it seems to be especially dangers to be a Black honor student.
