Can you help me? I'm trying to remember a cartoon that I saw when I was a kid - it was probably from the early 60s or late 50s. It was a one-off (not a series) and possibly a Warner Brothers cartoon. It was similar in look to "The Honeymousers" and also starred several mice. I think the plot was a foreign (Russian?) mouse was visiting his American cousin and the American was giving the Russian a civics lesson about how consumerism works, why capitalism is good and why America is awesome. I think it had a lot of scenes in a normal American city populated by people and the mice, although they wore clothes and could talk, were just mice sized. I seem to remember that the Russian mouse was excited by all that America had to offer and the cartoon may have ended with the Russian starting his own business in America. Does this sound familiar to anybody? Thanks!

I started to say Yankee Doodle Mouse, but checked first and no, that was a 1943 Oscar-winnint Tom & Jerry. I do recall such a cartoon, but apparently can't remember the name.
Capitalism is such a wonderful system. Too bad it isn't practiced in America.
The &700 billion bail-out, which pundits (who, over the years, have proven themselves not very bright) called "socialism rescuing capitalism" is, of course, the opposite of capitalism, which works by weeding out companies that make stupid decisions. This was pure socialism, with the added wrinkle of handing vast sums of poor tazpayers' money to politicians' rich cronies.
Sort of like Robbing Hood in The Wizard of Id, who was once seen taking from the wretch and giving to the peer.
Quack, Don
