We are curious and seek to explore our interests and the world. Painting, Pottery, Sculpture, Felt, Mixed-Media, other Visual and Performing Arts,Creative Writing and Documentary Video.
History is interesting. 1943 and here we are 2012. What a difference 69 years makes. War, Taxes, Saving, Spending.
I like the line "for it is our taxes that run the factories" It is wild - spending bad - taxes good. Now it is taxes bad - spending good. oh well.
Donald Duck Wants You to Pay Your Taxes (1943)(from Open Culture)
During World War II, some of the greatest living filmmakers put aside their commercial aspirations and directed propaganda films for the Allies. Frank Capra, Alfred Hitchcock, Howard Hawks, John Ford, John Huston – they all made a cinematic contribution to the war effort. (More on that here.) And so did Walt Disney, big time. 90% of Disney employees produced propaganda films for the American government, creating 68 hours of continuous film, including this short film for the Treasury Department. The Spirit of ’43 puts Donald Duck in the always unenviable position of asking Americans to pay high taxes to fund their wars. (Imagine doing that today!)
