question final question how did Hoover respond to the Great Depression a he raised taxes B he lowered taxes or C he gave money to citizens [Music] I think that was Ethan hey he he raised taxes ah -oh that's correct the answer is a he raised taxes Hoover tried to use the government to engineer solutions to the Great Depression he raised taxes on the American people but this just made life harder higher taxes left people even more poor it's that time again nothing like pie time aren't you happy you don't have this pie in your face yes and Brooke aren't you happy to have a pie in the face no
