Once upon a time, it was considered patriotic to pay your taxes, as shown in this Donald Duck film clip from 1943, "The Spirit of '43," in which Donald is torn between the "thrifty" and the "spendthrift" aspects of his personality. Spend, for the Axis -- or save, for taxes? Guns, guns, all kind of guns -- to blast the aggressors from the seas! Taxes -- to bury the Axis!
Economizing during wartime was the rule until Bush accompanied his invasion of Iraq with enormous tax cuts -- and an exhortation to celebrate freedom by continuing the great American pastime of shopping!
