Pay Your Income Tax: 1943 Disney Propoganda

[Darkatanforever]

Since the axis was defeated, do I still have to pay even though I do with every pay check

[Mezocosm]

We really need fight this war for peace, I'm so proud of my country. This is the best country in the world, we have freedom!

[vmcebollero]

Freedom to pay taxes that enslave you, what a wonderful thing. Now the government is taking our liberties too! What a wonderful thing. Soon you could be jailed without due process, they will just lock you away through the National Defense Authorization Act signed in to law on December 31, 2011. Happy New Year America the Nazi's never surrendered, the Germans did.

[KennyBare]

yes kids, give all of your hard earned money to the honorable gentlemen in our government who've never told a lie. your government loves you

[mrlnrnn1]

or how our grandfathers and mothers would call it: the good old days...

[gingergiggles]

Its seemed like typical propaganda but then he starts stalking "guns guns GUNS!" That's a bit frighting O.o

[s13iLLuminati]

You call this propaganda? Pfft! You want real propaganda, read some of these comments!

[formaface]

..sound familiar..

[Xenomorph52]

Where can I get a copy of this on VHS

[doughnutser256]

@Xenomorph52 This cartoon short is not on VHS tapes that I know of. This is the official 2004 release on DVD.

[votingronpaul2008]

Those that don't have children (for various reasons) LOVE the notion of leaving a huge debt onto the shoulders of YOUR children.

Another generation pays and they lose NOTHING.

[vmeister11]

Yes Americans pay your taxes so we can continue the war that our Jewish brethren instigated (nice example of this from an objective source - read 1938 letters from Polish Amb to Wash DC Amb Jerzy Potocki. Also listen to Charles Lindbergh's 1941 Iowa speech.) Pretty much the same is happening today with Iraq and Afgh wars. Sickening, just sickening. Wake-up Americans!

[MarkP0rter]

Texas to beat the axis

[Xtro2005]

And Congress had a problem with Joe Camel...

[MrESPIO1978]

god bless OBAMA!!! he´`s the hope!!

[brodiebh]

I'm not so bright when it comes to politics, but World War 2 needed money. NOT the war in Afghanistan. thank the monkeys in the pentagon for screwing us all.

[Agoraphobicslove]

@brodiebh WWII was bullshit it was funded by the same people on both sides.

[marija911]

this is painful to watch

[TiMMYSQUibbLES]

I get it now, pay your taxes so your government can kill people. Thanks Disney!

[envanje]

That were the old days, today they solve money shortages by raising the debt ceiling, so we don't have to pay for new projects. just our children need to.

[jsphere101]

Anyone familiar with the musical 1776? When South Carolina has his song Molasses To Rum To Slaves and he digresses into a creepy voice during his speech midway "stuff them in the ships, cram them in the ships'... The narrator reminded me of that when he was talking about tazes for factories and planes, taxes to beat the axis. It was unnerving, that tone of voice. Crazed.

[Austin101123]

Hitler only took his Christian belief took it the wrong way and too far, just like Osama Bin Laden took Muslim the wrong way and too far.

[TheRickmurray]

@Austin101123 Shh, you are not supposed to talk about Hitler being a christian. We do not want to think that way. Can't you just pretend like the rest of us that Hitler was a atheist?

[Austin101123]

@TheRickmurray No. I don't go away from the truth. The truth was HE WAS CHRISTIAN. It's ok that some crazy people are Christian. I even think he was doing something GOOD, just in the wrong way. After surrounding the Jews I would've constantly had everyone trying to push Christianity onto them and try to have 2/3 of jews turned to Christianity, not death.

[TheRickmurray]

@Austin101123 You think that Hitler was doing some good.. Wow, you are one messed up Christian. So what you are saying is that when sorrounded by the S.S. they should have forced Christianlity on the Jews? But, how could you be sure they changed? I mean replacing one myth with another is really hard to take. Forcing people who beleive in fairy tales to beleive in your fairy tale is to much, I think most of them would have reather been gased. I know I would have.

[Austin101123]

@TheRickmurray lol you must have been thrown at a brich wall when you were a baby or something. that paragraph is one of the most retarded i have ever read in my entire life

[TheRickmurray]

@Austin101123 Huh? YOu say that Hitler should have forced the Jews to become Christians and you think I am retarded because I think all religion is stupid and a black mark on humanity. Wow.

[Austin101123]

@TheRickmurray ok now its obvious that your trolling... good trolls make it hard to tell, but you fail

[Zwei4815]

I love how they use the Connecticut state song.

[victorbrunswick]

Taxes might have "buried the Axis" but we're the ones getting buried now! Interestingly enough, the withholding tax was introduced during the war as a "temporary emergency measure."

[gir908922]

Keep it classy, Disney. :P

[ryanthomastew]

Funny you could use this video today and replace the Japanese/Nazi logos with those of Libya/Iran...

[19775021]

this is our amerika

[doughnutser256]

This cartoon short actually came out in the theaters during 1942. It was nominated for an academy award for best documentary feature in 1943.

[tjwdraws]

Teabaggers hate the USA and our troops.

[Zwei4815]

@tjwdraws That's not exactly true, but then I'm a Constitutionalist.

[pjamaz1]

@nazworkshop how can disney be fascist if he is against the nazis... surely he is just another capatilist, all he wants is money and he was paid to make this propaganda, but these are surely his own beliefs too maybe he is a capatalist patriot? but to call him fascist is wrong.

[Mrrussd10]

@pjamaz1 Read Bob Thomas's book Walt Disney: An American Original and you'll see that Walt Disney actually lost a pretty significant amount on the propaganda films he put out such as this one. Theaters pulled the Donald Duck cartoons that they were supposed to show and replaced it with this one instead. He lost a big amount of money. Also, there are plenty of other instances in the book that show that he clearly wasn't in it for the money. Get your facts right.

[gogolplex74]

This would be a great satire, but sadly, it isn't

[Koog1e]

It's almost funny in a facepalm sort of way, at just how sick yet effective this war mongering propaganda campaign shite must have worked on the American people. A cartoon for war & scum government with its false democracy(demonocracy) crap. The fight for freedom, via compliance with IRS mafia scum. Oh when will people learn and see past the smoke screen of bullshit that is used on them to manipulate and deceive the honest person into supporting the dishonest criminal elitist scumbag socialists.

[RadioCommieZombie]

$13 taxes on $2,501 income is 0.5% income tax rate. In the middle of a world war. Now the lowest income tax rate is 10%. Something seems wrong there.

[AlternateArtisan]

apparently Some conspiracy theorist crackpots would rather have had the second world war stretch on for another 5 years because paying taxes was 'tyranny' I bet they wouldn't even defend their community if the axis started bombing their towns. This cartoon was made during the height of WW2 where the outcome of the war could have gone either way.

[bigken61]

More children come up missing while a disney word/land than any other place in America... Don't hate on me for telling the facts.

[Alba12349]

typical of the goverment to try to scare people in to submission

[Alba12349]

they use propaganda today aswell but its more subtle now

[HeyItzMeDawg]

I loled the whole time.

[MeritisDE]

Walt Disney (anti-semite) was openly hostle to democracy.

[TheGizmofromPizmo]

@MeritisDE To be fair anti-semitism was fairly common and many, many people supported Nazi's before they understood how crazy Hitler was.

[ElakaSvennen]

@MeritisDE

Wrong,

those're just lies of the jews for the smut they put in Walt Disney's life's creation these days..

[nextdimensions]

Lol, 4:19 nice Obelisk!

[sharperguy]

and people say we're moving TOWARDS fascism

[sharperguy]

It's one of those campy '70s throwbacks that appeals to Generation Xers

[LeftLiberalSoCal]

What a bunch of bullshit.

[bunny194]

WOW. Everything after 4:30 is so harsh and pointed. I've gotta hand it to Disney though because they definitely reeled me in long enough with Donald to make me watch the rest.

[tarrasque420]

I want a voluntary tax paying system.

[madnessoverdonuts]

thanks for the upload i kinda find it intersting what they use to show on tv during ww2

[kylohk]

I don't really get these propaganda clips. I mean, was paying income tax optional back then?

[madnessoverdonuts]

@kylohk no its becuase they were encouraging americans to save there money so they wouldn't be late on paying taxes so the goverment could spend more on the war effort

[ocnod]

@kylohk

Yes

[VeritasAmantesVocat]

OMG 13 dollars!  lol

[xtaxplayer]

What would be best, would be the documents or government letters that brought about the cartoon for the income tax to be paid by non-federally connected American's

[bajoverga]

We had better propaganda than the Nazi's. Wow.

[bigken61]

"Democracy" has marched quite a ways since this was made. Too bad for us because we're a Republic, not a democracy...

[sparkymmilarky]

to all you idiots who think this is "disgraceful"

this was in 1943... middle of the war, the US needed all the help they could get and were desperate. This isnt like now where there is no evil group attempting to take over the world. If income tax helped the US win the war then its clearly a good thing, you hate this vid, you hate your country

[bajoverga]

@sparkymmilarky Do you research. The fed funded the war, all the victory bond bullshit was just for propaganda.

[dbill27]

@sparkymmilarky the income tax and war bonds did not fund the war, FDR was by no means desperate for money, he was printing money all the time. all this was just propagand to make people think they were sacrificing to help their country and that the country needed it. Meanwhile fdr made gold illegal so the public wouldnt be aware he was destroying the dollar. you hate this vid, you love what this country really stands for

[emeihongshen]

We don't democracy. We need a republic based on individual liberty.

Abolish income tax. Abolish IRS. Abolish the FED Reserve. Abolish the evil disney-- tyrant's running dog.

[xtaxplayer]

@emeihongshen, You do not want to Abolish the income tax. This money from the States, business, and employees (less than 13% of Americans are actually a defined employee) are how the G'mnt pay's for our safety and trade. This is one of the main reason's the Articles of Confederation were changed to become the U.S.Constitution. The issue here is that most American's don't realize they do not owe a federal income tax. But, the fed is happy to keep the misconception of who owes taxes going strong.

[emeihongshen]

Disgusting propoganda for tyranny. Shame on you, disney.

I will boycott disney from now on.

[jkingfield]

This applies today more than one thinks. Who bought war bonds to pay for Iraq & Afghanistan? Few if any, because you know, who cares about the bill right? (/sarcasm) We also may not be in a standing 20th century style war, but collecting the same funds to nation build at home to remain economically competitive is just as patriotic through government incentives towards green technologies.

[bdog111]

Sig heil world police! Humans killing humans, that's the way things should be! (sarcasm)

[doctorFRAISER]

Taxes may be inevitable but we need to pay them or else give up both the porkulus spending and the useful spending. After all life isn't the worst and human fallbility will always ruin even the most perfect system. Liberals will of course never stop until they have stolen all of our money and redistrubted to themseleves and their cronnies.

[lowaces]

freedom to go to prsion for marijuana possession

taxes to pay for the destruction of 9/11

taxes and freedom

[ashma05]

inspirationable

[Fruerik]

This is disgracefull.

[A1batross]

I enjoy the dingalings who are claiming this is somehow "liberal." As if what Liberals want is wars, and war taxes to feed the military machine. I tellya what, in the video above, replace the word "tyranny" with "liberals" and you could be listening to Fox News.

[BankofSpirit]

war/elitist propaganda, same format today, instead of a cartoon character shilling lies to abet wants of power elite, they use their real life puppets to promote fiat life/living to ignorant material worshipers, who live/die for idle/idol time. Boycott their spirit/wealth transfer systems, avoid their sacrifice stations in the fiat economy. Continued support for lavish lifestyles for rich & shame-us, the pretenders of HellyWeed, is to sacrifice life/time to/for idols made of fools gold.

[gimmebullion]

income tax is Satan....

[DCchild1989]

It was a message to support the troops and the US war effort. Back then people knew that defeating a common enemy was more important than libel

[victorbrunswick]

@DCchild1989

In all fairness I would venture to guess that a much larger percentage of tax revenue went to where it was supposed to go back then. Unlike today when some 70 cents out of every tax dollar that government spends on anything is eaten up by "administrative overhead" -- particularly the bloated, solid-gold pensions and benefits of bureaucrats and cubicle dwelling, Joe Rubberstamp government workers who can retire at 50.

[trlckykid]

LMFAO, We can see you now!

[casinohijack]

Ha Ha Ha see now that the veil is pulled open you see what your country is all about look where all you Tax Money went to the Rich look at KBR or Halliburton they have gotten rich off of industry , control and Taxes of course

[MrESPIO1978]

It`s a new spirit in America, LONG LIFE TO OBAMAAAA

[SatansMullet]

wow this cartoon is stupid as fuck LOL

[almartin77]

To congress, the American people are nothing more than human livestock to be harvested each week and on April 15th of every year. To them, we are not human beings with natural rights. We are wage slaves that work tirelessly to keep congress and their masters in the Federal Reserve filthy rich. We work ourselves sick and die young from exposure to industrial poison. What do we get for it? Socialist insecurity. wake up folks.

[waypasthadenough]

Victory and everlasting peace. That worked out real well didn't it?

On his knees, begging, "anything," just like the sheeple of every generation that the elites know they can count on to stupidly and blindly obey.

Don't understand? Follow my links. Read the quotes page first. Then share and prepare.

[81eagle]

GUNS!! GUNS!! and more GUNS!!! lol. That was rather disturbing.

[doughnutser256]

This cartoon short was released in 1942.

[ferrozm]

burn the IRS!!!

[1L6E6VHF]

Wow. If I only had to pay about .55% of my net, and they money was fighting the Axis, building roads, and sending the unemployed into shipyards, I wouldn't complain at all!

[hamofbuddha]

I loved disney until I worked there and saw what a rape monster it is and it truly is one of the worst and one of the best at it. There are only a few benches so you will always be walking, and little shade anywhere in the park and you're forced to pay $3 for a bottle of dasani and if you want to know how far up your ass the disney dick goes, the expences to run the parks,hotels,college programs aka(cheap labor programs) are coverd by ticket sales alone.All that expencive garbage is pure profit

[TheGizmofromPizmo]

@hamofbuddha A private company wanting profit!! For shame, Disney, for shame...

[whitwt]

I used to love disney cartoons as a child....

[Gettinghitonattheban]

Wow. They got away with DIRECTLY saying your taxes go to the military. They didn't even give them the roads and public housing bullshit,

[jeffe2222]

wow

[powderburnz08]

You are paying for the nails to put in your coffin....that is what taxes are.Q? Why would the people that have all gold, money, property and basically anything that they would ever need or want to invoke taxes? A..CONTROL. It is all about control. Without control over you, they cannot perpetrate there plan to control the world. Without you there is no them, without them there is still you.

[Swmorgan77]

Powderburnz: You're completely right. They don't actually need the revenue from income taxes, because they could just print the money they need... in fact they do anyway and that's why we have a deficit. T

[txballoonman]

Taxes=Extortion

[Sphair0n]

"Freedom of speech, of worship, freedom from want and fear."

That's the Roosevelt definition of freedom. Notice how only "soft freedoms" that can be easily subverted by those cherished "democratic governments" are included, or, in the case of "freedom from want", even mildly socialist proposals. Second Amendment, anyone? Anti-Federalism, anyone?

But I guess I should pay my taxes before talking like that.

[jsyc07]

I am priviliged to pay taxes. I am priviliged to pay taxes. I am priviliged to pay taxes. I am priviliged to pay taxes.

[VodeoJMC63]

taxes to fund the war effort? what a crock! the irs uses taxes to pay off the debt on our fiat currency system (money with no backing like gold, produced out of thin air) NOT ONE CENT goes to pay for services for the public. it all goes in the pockets of the federal reserve (which is a privately owned company, not answerable to the federal government) the federal reserve is as federal as federal express

[borcer]

They are still trying to put the same scam today, & doing a great job at it!

[TruthJockey]

Your govt needs taxes to kill Afghans, taxes to kill Iraqi's...for cluster bombs & mini-nukes & chemical-biological weaponry. We need more assault vehicles in the hands of local police, to be used against "the locals" here in the Homeland. Money for more Anti-American laws...like FISA or the Patriot Act...more money is needed to spy on you & me. More tasers & more assault weapons, more flex-cuffs & more FEMA camps, we need a bigger budget for more propaganda - more conditioning of the minds!

[jnycnuk]

i guess stuff like that really helped out disney.

[diggersstory]

Yes getting the money in early will help pay for the corporate welfare *the bailout* Our money at work to redistribute the wealth to the wealthy?

[sim0b]

Brilliant stuff. Still the same today , and people believe it!

[harryogre]

There is so much pure evil in this cartoon its hard to seperate out just one thing to attack.

[boethius27]

wow. What a crock of sh*t. Taxes are such a scam.

[MrTodolorosso]

at least they were honest back then. Here's the dick gobble it up. Nowdays they insert the dick inside you subliminally.

[belladonna137]

OMG that was soooo scary!!!!

[tygew]

1943 is the year that America paid into the 'slave-public' system of Income tax for the first time.

[greatbroad]

Pay your taxes early to support the war machine.

[billvancouver72]

hahah - great video! haha - "take a big drink son - we've got work to do!", says the ink bottle to the pen - "YOUR country needs taxes for guns, taxes for ships, taxes for Democracy, ..." - yes, Democracy and nukes are expensive - They could run this in theatres before their moronic Hollywood pablum movies with a few edits for updating - "We need your taxes to stop the Evil Axis! Need your taxes to destroy and rebuild brid=jizz - In nations who refuse to bend as our bitch-izz"
