Granny says, "Dat's right...

... we even got taxes on our taxes...

... Trump gonna fix dat...

... an' build a wall to keep alla illegal aliens out.

 

[Rozman]

Maybe he meant corporate taxes...

From the article...
America has the highest corporate tax rate in the world among major economies. Its top rate of 40% has encouraged a number of companies to “invert.” In an inversion, a U.S. company buys a foreign subsidiary and moves its headquarters (on paper, at least) to that country to enjoy a lower tax rate—a practice that Fortune has called positively un-American.

You can bet that Drumpf, like most major American corporations, does not pay anything even close to a 40% tax rate.

Caricature showing Uncle Sam lecturing four children labelled Philippines (who appears similar to Philippine leader Emilio Aguinaldo), Hawaii, Porto[sic] Rico and Cuba in front of children holding books labelled with various U.S. states. In the background are an American Indian holding a book upside down, a Chinese boy at the door and a black boy cleaning a window. Originally published on p. 8-9 of the January 25, 1899 issue of Puck magazine.

Caption: School Begins. Uncle Sam (to his new class in Civilization). Now, children, you've got to learn these lessons whether you want to or not! But just take a look at the class ahead of you, and remember that, in a little while, you will feel as glad to be here as they are!

Blackboard: The consent of the governed is a good thing in theory, but very rare in fact. — England has governed her colonies whether they consented or not. By not waiting for their consent she has greatly advanced the world's civilization. — The U.S. must govern its new territories with or without their consent until they can govern themselves.

Poster: The Confederated States refused their consent to be governed; But the Union was preserved without their consent.

US military presence around the world in 2007. As of 2013, the US still had many bases and troops stationed globally.[1] Their presence has generated controversy and opposition by some in foreign countries.[2][3] More than 1,000 US troops More than 100 US troops Use of military facilities


Following the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, the idea of American imperialism was reexamined. On October 15, the cover of William Kristol's Weekly Standard carried the headline, "The Case for American Empire." Rich Lowry, editor in chief of the National Review, called for "a kind of low-grade colonialism" to topple dangerous regimes beyond Afghanistan.[20] The columnist Charles Krauthammer declared that, given complete U.S. domination "culturally, economically, technologically and militarily," people were "now coming out of the closet on the word 'empire.'"[8] The New York Times Sunday magazine cover for January 5, 2003, read "American Empire: Get Used To It."

He's hitting all the Hitler-youth talking-points I see...

this is true!! liberal Americans will take welfare but they won't take a job!

 

[rightwinger]

Is he nuts?

We have some of the lowest tax rates in the world. Americans in his tax bracket have rarely paid taxes this low

And we are still not an empire.

And this was a stupid illustration drawn by a leftist idiot.

First of all, The Philippines, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and Cuba being caricatured as blacks is complete bullshit. It was done to manipulate racial emotions, not rational judgement.

Lets look at the 4 regions being illustrated. Three of them are at least moderately free and prosperous compared to Cuba, which is an Orwellian turd world hell hole that people swim 90 miles to get away from.

When people use illustrations like this to make some kind of point that the USA is somehow a malevolent entity, I wish I was Darth Vader and could strangle them through wifi.

Fucking morons are our biggest liability.
