Description
On November 26, 1975, federal taxes remained a burden, especially amid stagflation—high inflation and slow economic growth. The Tax Reduction Act of 1975 offered some relief, but rising costs pushed many into higher tax brackets. The highest marginal income tax rate was 70%, inflation caused bracket creep, and payroll taxes continued increasing. These pressures fueled debates over tax reform, leading to policy shifts in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

I like that the face is almost bird like.  Very nice with the sign that bends as the message itself was weighing on every tax payer's mind.

Nice observation being bird-like, his hair even looks like a crest..
