"Just one of many differences between WWII and today."

Yeah, here's some more.

In WWII, taxes were RAISED to pay for the war. On the rich, taxes were raised to 91%!

In WWII, gasoline, automobiles, tires and many other items were rationed at home so production could be diverted to the war effort.

In WWII, the government even sponsored metal drives where everyone collected copper and aluminum for the war effort.

Of course, in WWII we had a REAL leader that brought the country TOGETHER in a common purpose - perhaps the biggest difference of all.
