Planned economy or planned distruction.......

Cartoon from 1934 Chicago Tribune: The circle of history continues:

(Why do these themes all sound so familiar?)

“Everything that needs to be said has already been said. But since no one was listening, everything must be said again.” — André Gide

Seen it a million times but just noticed its from the Chicago Tribune. Oh the irony.....
Put this in your pipe & smoke it, based on 1913 (jussst pre-FED) tax rates if your gross income was 100,000 your "tax" was $2,150.00 (assuming some basic deductions & no off-shore blind trusts, etc. etc.)
Of course you wouldn't have been blessed with SS retirement or obamacare.....
Play with the numbers yourself but be sure to keep a barf bag nearby.
