00:00 [music]
00:09 There's a Yankee Doodle spirit in the heart of everyone.
00:12 It's the Yankee Doodle spirit now, but shouldering a gun for freedom and liberty.
00:19 Your freedom, your liberty, this is our fighting song.
00:26 For these are right and we will fight and never will we cease until we win our victory and everlasting peace.
00:32 So light up that new Yankee Doodle spirit and forever let it shine.
00:39 And show the world that this Yankee Doodle spirit is ours, it's yours, it's mine.
00:53 Yes, there is a new spirit in America.
00:57 That's right.
00:57 The spirit of a free people united again in a common cause to stamp tyranny from the earth.
01:04 That's right.
01:04 Our very shores have been attacked.
01:07 That is not right.
01:08 Your whole country is mobilizing for total war.
01:12 Your country needs you.
01:15 Okay, I'm with it.
01:17 Are you a patriotic American?
01:19 Yes, sir.
01:19 Eager to do your part?
01:21 Yes, sir.
01:22 Then there's something important you can do.
01:24 Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy, I'll do it.
01:27 You won't get a medal for doing it.
01:29 Oh, that's all right.
01:30 It may mean a sacrifice on your part.
01:33 I'll do it anyway.
01:34 But it will be a vital help to your country in this hour of need.
01:38 I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll do it.
01:40 Shall I tell you what it is?
01:41 Yes, what is it? Tell me.
01:45 Shall I?
01:45 Tell me what it is.
01:47 Your income tax.
01:50 Income tax?
01:52 Yes, your income tax.
01:54 It may not seem important to you, but it is important.
02:00 Yes, and it's your privilege, not just your duty,
02:05 but your privilege to help your government by paying your tax and paying it promptly.
02:11 Oh, what's the big hurry?
02:13 What's the big hurry?
02:15 Your country is at war.
02:17 Your country needs taxes for guns, taxes for ships, taxes for democracy, taxes to beat the Axis.
02:26 Oh, boy, taxes to beat the Axis.
02:29 That's the spirit.
02:31 Yes, sir.
02:32 Now, how about your income tax?
02:34 Oh, boy, what more is there?
02:36 Okay, let's go.
02:43 Why, you don't need all that stuff.
02:45 Do I?
02:46 No.
02:47 You made less than $3,000 last year.
02:49 Yes, sir.
02:50 Well, then you can use the new simplified form.
02:53 It's streamlined.
02:54 It's simple.
02:55 All you need is a tax blank, your pen right here, some ink.
03:00 Yes, sir.
03:01 And a blotter.
03:02 Take a big drink, son.
03:05 We got work to do.
03:06 First, your name, address, and occupation.
03:16 Actor?
03:16 Next, list your dependents.
03:20 Now, what was your income?
03:26 Don't guess.
03:30 It will save a lot of trouble if you get it right.
03:32 A total income is exactly $2,501.
03:36 All right, subtract your credit for dependents.
03:39 That comes to $1,701.
03:42 Now, you're single with dependents.
03:46 Then just look in column B, and you'll find it all worked out for you.
03:50 Would you sign here, please?
03:57 Now, if you really want to help, mail it in early.
04:00 Be one of the first.
04:01 Just address it to your local collector of internal revenue.
04:04 And drop it in the nearest mail.
04:09 Hey, wait!
04:14 Well, this isn't necessary, but it shows the new spirit.
04:18 The sooner you get your taxes in, the sooner they'll get to work.
04:23 For it's your taxes, my taxes, our taxes that run the factories.
04:29 American factories, working day and night.
04:38 [MUSIC PLAYING]
04:41 Factories making guns, machine guns, anti-tank guns,
04:51 long-range guns, guns, guns, all kinds of guns.
04:55 To blast the aggressors from the seas.
05:04 [MUSIC PLAYING]
05:07 Taxes for American factories, working full blast, making planes.
05:18 Bombers, dive bombers.
05:26 Flying fortresses, interceptors.
05:33 Stalk the birds of prey that fly by night.
05:36 Taxes to bury the axis.
06:00 Taxes, taxes for ships, battleships, battlecruisers, destroyers, all kinds of battle wagons.
06:09 Taxes to sink the axis.
06:25 Taxes to keep them flying, taxes to keep them rolling,
06:29 taxes to keep them coming, taxes to beat to earth the evil destroyer of freedom and peace.
06:35 This is our fight, the fight for freedom.
06:48 Freedom of speech, of worship, freedom from want and fear.
06:55 Taxes will keep democracy on the march.
