An American citizen sits at a table, eating a meal. Every item on the table and almost every item in the dining room and kitchen in the background has a tag on it indicating at what percent that item has been taxed. For instance, the tag on the salt and pepper shakers states “Tax 33 per cent,” the tag on a potato and on the knife he is using states “Tax 40 per cent,” the tag on the table cloth states “Tax 45 per cent,” the tag on a teapot on the stove in the kitchen states “Tax 45 per cent,” and an insert shows a tombstone with a tag that states “Tax 50 per cent.” Caption: Republican tariff taxes make his “freedom” a mockery.
