Summary: Print shows a 'Before' and 'After' cartoon: in the 'Before' scene, the 'Democratic Donkey' is piled high with bags of 'Dividends, Salaries, Profits, [and] Rents' that are tied on with a ribbon labeled 'Income Taxes', standing outside the 'U.S. Supreme Court' where the Supreme Court justices are offering a two-wheeled cart for the donkey to use to carry the load. In the 'After' scene, the 'Democratic Donkey' is harnessed to the cart labeled 'Supreme Court Decision on Income Tax', which is overloaded with bags of 'Dividends, Salaries, Profits' still bound with a ribbon labeled 'Income Taxes', 'Rents' which are '(Exempt)' have fallen to the ground; the way the load is positioned in the cart raises the donkey off the ground, it remarks, 'What shall I do now' - I'm worse off than ever!'.
