1940 Republican Party Film The Truth About Taxes
The Truth About Taxes is a 1940 campaign film for presidential candidate Wendell Willkie which argues that President Roosevelt’s New Deal policies waste money and weaken the nation. The film was produced by the Republican Party.
AMERICANS NEED TAX RELIEF! NOW!
Low taxes = a pay raise, promotion: WE WIN!
High taxes = a pay cut, demotion: WE LOSE!
WE WIN EVERY TIME with low taxes and LOSE EVER TIME with high taxes.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added]." —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
"The smart crooks long ago figured out that getting themselves elected to federal office to make unconstitutional tax laws to fill their pockets is a much easier way to make a living than robbing banks." —me
"Federal career lawmakers probably laugh all the way to the bank to deposit bribes for putting loopholes for the rich and corporations in tax appropriations laws, Congress actually not having the express constitutional authority to make most laws where domestic policy is concerned. Such laws are based on stolen state powers and uniquely associated stolen state revenues." —me
Patriots need to make sure that there are plenty of state sovereignty-respecting, Trump-supporting patriot candidates on the primary ballots and pink-slip career lawmakers by sending patriot candidate lawmakers to DC on election day 2018.
he was correct of course
but touting war (even in 1940) was a poor campaign idea
I may agree. you may agree. in 1940 we all here probably could see how we desperately needed to arm up, yes indeed
there was tremendous danger
but a lot of Americans still hoped to avoid the war somehow
(and Pearl Harbor had not happened yet)
so I am guessing this very fine campaign film probably scared a lot of voters ?????

“Patriots need to make sure that there are plenty of state sovereignty-respecting, Trump-supporting patriot candidates on the primary ballots and pink-slip career lawmakers by sending patriot candidate lawmakers to DC on election day 2018.”
This made me wonder how I would find out about such a candidate. The Republicans aren’t going to help, and the local media are in the claws of the forces of evil.
USA map on following Ballotpedia page shows no Senate seats opening for Colorado in 2018.

Here’s Ballotpedia list of incumbents and candidates for Colorado House seats. If this page is getting attention from Ballotpedia, notice that candidate filing deadline for Colorado is still pending.

In case you haven’t seen the following constitutional facts and Supreme Court clarifications guaranteed to stump and frustrate candidates and incumbents, you might find them interesting. (Make sure that you know where all the exits are before asking these points, and please report blank look reactions if you do challenge candidates.)
Patriots need to qualify candidates by asking them why the Founding States made the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I; to limit (cripple) the federal government’s powers.
Patriots also need to make sure that candidates are knowledgeable of the Supreme Court's clarifications of the federal government’s limited powers listed here.

Also, unlike career members of Congress who wrongly remained silent while misguided state officials abridged the constitutionally enumerated rights of citizens during the lawless Obama Administration, patriots need to make sure that candidates on the 2018 primary ballots commit to the following.
Candidates need to commit to making and enforcing 14th Amendment-related laws to prosecute misguided state officials who use state powers to abridge constitutionally enumerated protections, 1st Amendment-protected religious expression and free speech for example, such actions prohibited by Section 1 of the 14th Amendment.
”14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
Drain the swamp! Drain the swamp!
They were trying to harness the tides for power back then now it’s sun and wind.
