00:52 Yes, there is a new spirit in America.
00:57 Quack, quack.
00:57 The spirit of a free people.
01:00 United again in a common cause to stamp tyranny from the earth.
01:04 That's right.
01:05 Our very shores have been attacked.
01:07 That is not right.
01:09 Your whole country is mobilizing for total war.
01:13 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.
01:25 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.
01:37 I'll do it for anything.
01:40 Shall I tell you what it is?
01:42 Yes, what is it? Tell me.
01:45 Shall I?
01:46 Tell me what it is.
01:48 Your income tax.
01:50 Income tax?
01:52 Yes, your income tax.
01:54 Your income tax.
01:57 It may not seem important to you, but it is important.
02:00 It is?
02:01 Yes, and it's your privilege, not just your duty,
02:05 but your privilege to help your government
02:08 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,
02:21 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.
02:56 All you need is a tax blank, your pen right here,
02:59 some ink.
03:00 Yes, sir.
03:01 And a blotter.
03:04 Take a big drink, son.
03:05 We got work to do.
03:07 First, your name, address, and occupation.
03:12 Occupation?
03:14 Actor.
03:16 Actor?
03:18 Next, list your dependents.
03:20 Do it?
03:21 Do it?
03:22 I'll do it.
03:24 Now, what was your income?
03:26 Oh, boy, I'll guess about it.
03:29 Don't guess.
03:30 It will save a lot of trouble if you get it right.
03:33 The total income is exactly $2,501.
03:37 All right.
03:38 Subtract your credit for dependents.
03:40 That comes to $1,701.
03:43 Oh, boy.
03:43 Now, you're single with dependents.
03:45 Yes, sir.
03:46 Then just look in column B.
03:47 Okay.
03:48 And you'll find it all worked out for you.
03:50 $1,700 to $1,725.
03:54 Still $10.
03:55 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.
04:02 Just address it to your local collector of internal revenue.
04:05 Okay.
04:06 Sure, dog.
04:07 And drop it in the nearest mail--
04:09 Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy.
04:10 Hey, wait.
04:11 Well, this isn't necessary, but it shows the new spirit.
04:19 The sooner you get your taxes in,
04:21 the sooner they'll get to work.
04:24 For it's your taxes, my taxes, our taxes,
04:28 that run the factories.
04:30 [train whistle]
04:35 American factories, working day and night.
04:38 [bells ringing]
04:47 Factories making guns, machine guns, anti-tank guns,
04:51 long-range guns, guns, guns, all kinds of guns.
04:56 [gunshots]
05:01 To blast the aggressors from the seas.
05:05 [train whistle]
05:12 Taxes for American factories, working full blast,
05:17 making planes.
05:19 [bells ringing]
05:24 Bombers, dive bombers.
05:29 Flying tortoises, interceptors,
05:33 stalk the birds of prey that fly by night.
05:36 [bombs exploding]
05:43 [triumphant music]
05:51 Taxes to bury the Axis.
05:56 [train whistle]
06:00 Taxes, taxes for ships, battleships,
06:04 battlecruisers, destroyers, all kinds of battle wagons.
06:09 [train whistle]
06:15 [explosion]

06:20 Taxes to sink the Axis.
06:25 Taxes to keep them flying.
06:27 Taxes to keep them rolling.
06:29 Taxes to keep them coming.
06:31 Taxes to beat to earth the evil destroyer
06:34 of freedom and peace.
06:35 [explosion]
06:41 [triumphant music]
06:44 This is our fight, the fight for freedom.
06:49 Freedom of speech, of worship.
06:53 Freedom from want and fear.
06:57 Taxes will keep democracy on the march.
07:02 [choral singing]
07:16 [bombs exploding]
07:17 [silence]
