SUMMARY:World War II cartoon shows President Roosevelt and an old man symbolizing Congress standing on a dock quarreling and ignoring John Q. Public, labeled "Tax Payer," who is drowning. They accuse each other of pushing him in and fail to throw him a life preserver labeled "Tax Clarification." In February 1944, the president vetoed a tax bill that gave him only a fraction of the money he said he needed to conduct the war. The president and Congress also traded charges about who was to blame for not simplifying the system.
