Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for May 23, 2020

He’s the king. He doesn’t have to pay anybody if he doesn’t want to….unless maybe it’s tribute to the Huns. He might want to keep that up.

Are those supposed to be birds on HIS left?

“Or we could just print money. It will reduce the value of your money just like a tax, but you will still have it, only less worth — worth less — worthless if we push our printer right, deep into the night.”

Fink, the issue isn’t the raising of the taxes, it’s the not raising of the taxes on the people who actually must pay – there are some Lords who pay nothing at all and get assistance stipends from the Kingdom. Who the heck needs a tax deduction for a private galleon anyway. All it is used for is holidays.

Is Spook gonna have a roomie?

Cut out the pork, stop indulging the cronies, and tax everyone equal %. Problem solved.

you probably did, Fink; but you probably misspent the money…

cut the budget instead

Old ID Quote,“Those Who Have All The Gold, Make All The Rules”.

That’s what finks always say…never enough….

With all the government hand outs to combat this pandemic, sooner or later someone’s going to have to pay for it…. now who do you think that will be?

It’s a good thing he makes such a small target…..you know…… for rotten tomatoes! ;o}

Don’t forget the tax break for all the earls and dukes.

Huh. The King’s a Democrat. Never a tax he didn’t like, and it’s never high enough.

Hey, being king is a very taxing occupation….

I think they are m&ms

There are no pretexts to raise the taxes. There are only reasons.

Hmmm…..Doesn’t look like Drewfus Coumo!

Governor Pritzker? (Illinois)

His pet vultures?

That would be NY
