"Make Mine Freedom!" 1948 cartoon about saving the American dream!

The cartoon every American NEEDS to see! This Cold War propaganda short from 1948 shows how we all lose under big government... including the business tycoons, politicians, unions, farmers and John Q. Public . And, what can happen if America loses it's individuality and entrepreneurship in favor of the collective and oppressive.

Let's pray (while we still can openly) that the internet remains available to all of us.

Let's face it... All the anger in everyone's comments are coming from a place of envy, greed, and class warfare. If ANY of you were in the upper class, I doubt any of you would be crying about how unfair our system of economics is or wrong this cartoon is. As long as someone makes more, there will always be someone complaining about the unfairness of the system. It will NOT matter that they employ others, the amount of work they do, or whether they have made some amazing innovation that changes

This cartoon is dead-on about the issues that are really happening today in our country. The slick-talking salesman playing the globalist/government role, the gullible people looking to drink the ISM formula as sheeples, and finally the truth-telling gentlemen who enables them to realize the truth to it all.

It comes down to whether if you are the sheeple who will drink the ISM and allow govt to run your life or if you'll be like the wise, truth-telling man who enlightens them to the truth.

@janusdoa I think the key is we work together because we can and want to, not because we are forced to by big brother..big diff

America has faltered badly with turning over everything to the richest among us and letting them decide how we live. Tolerance and freedom are in grave danger as hate and intolerance are being disseminated. And our jobs have all been outsoruced to other countries while our government has made it profitable to do so. Until we learn to let everyone have a voice and to listen to each side in a cival manner, we aren't great any more.
