70-year IRS tax scam swindling millions of Americans started with a Donald Duck movie in 1942!

Written by Subject: Propaganda
The Spirit of '43 is an American animated World War II propaganda film created by Walt Disney Studios in 1943 and starring Donald Duck. It is a sequel to The New Spirit. The purpose of the film is to encourage patriotic Americans to file and pay their income taxes faithfully every 3 months in order to help the war effort. The repeated theme in the film is "Taxes...To Defeat the Axis."


70-year IRS tax scam swindling millions of Americans started with a Donald Duck movie in 1942!

Consider these observations from as long ago as 1939. In that year, according to facts uncovered in a 2004 study by University of Berkeley Economist Emmanuel Saez and the Paris School for Advanced Studies in Social Sciences Professor Thomas Piketty, only 13.6 percent of the American people filed federal income tax returns, and subsequently paid any federal income taxes. That’s essentially one-in-ten individuals in the entire country.

Yet by the end of the Second World War in 1946, 89.1 percent of Americans were filing and paying federal income taxes (Saez & Piketty, 2004). That is a 75 percent increase seven years later. It also represents a complete reciprocal flip in the ratio of filers versus non-filers in just seven years! (From one-in-ten filing to one-in-ten not filing.) Why the complete reversal?

Was there a serious increase in legal threats by the general government (i.e., IRS) because of changes in the income tax laws? Hardly. No major changes occurred in the Internal Revenue Code as it was first published in 1939. (Hendrickson, 2008) It is still the same to this day, as a matter of fact.

So why was there this drastic jump in “voluntary compliance?” The answer is found in the incipient patriotic spirit of the American people as the result of the real and worldwide threat of Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito—the Axis Powers, and the persuasive talents of at least two very influential characters in American history who apparently (among many others, we’re sure) had powerful influence on the majority of American citizens during World War Two: President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and

Donald Duck. While Roosevelt seems obvious, what’s with Donald Duck? Really? Donald Duck? Yep. Donald Duck. As we previously said, this chicanery is rather “Mickey Mouse” when you think about it.

But let’s start with FDR, shall we? On December 7, 1941, the Japanese drew the United States into the War with the surprise, early Sunday morning attack on Pearl Harbor.

War was declared by Congress the next day. Two days after the bombing, President Roosevelt held a special radio “fireside chat,” and encouraged his fellow Americans to do their part to support the newly incubating War effort.
Here’s what FDR had to say so shortly after Congress
declared War on the Axis powers:

It is not a sacrifice for the industrialist or the wage earner, the farmer or the shopkeeper, the train man or for the doctor to pay more taxes, to buy more bonds, to forego extra profits, to work longer or harder at the task for which he is best fitted; rather, it is a privilege.” – FDR on December 9, 1941, two days after Pearl Harbor and about 24 hours after Congress declared war on the Axis Powers of Germany, Italy, and Japan.

It's known that Disney and HG Wells were buddies. They were both well educated on the drive towards globalism, distracting the masses with the old roman concept of "bread and circuses," and obviously Disney was a major player in the entertainment half of that concept. HG Wells had a theory that eventual we would have all kinds of sports stadiums in any city of size for numerous different sports to distract the masses and create community around meaningless events like sports. Not a bad call, eh?

 Hey, Jim Palmisano!  I remember seeing this Donald Duck cartoon in a theatre about paying taxes back when I was a kid. It was run with the rest of the cartoons which normally were shown prior to the movie featured.  Therefore, I think we can safely assume the Donald Duck cartoon in question is an authentic Disney product.  It is well known that Walt Disney produced propaganda films.

Morpheus, do you have affidavits of authenticity from Disney on these two commercials?
