00:52 Yes, there is a new spirit in America.

00:56 What? What?

00:57 The spirit of a free people.

00:59 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.

01:09 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 if you'll do the thing.

01:40 Shall I tell you what it is?

01:41 Yes, what is it? Tell me.

01:44 Shall I?

01:45 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.

02:30 Yes, sir.

02:31 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,

02:59 some ink...

03:00 Yes, sir.

03:01 ...and a blotter.

03:03 Take a big drink, son.

03:05 We got work to do.

03:07 [belches]

03:09 First, your name, address, and occupation.

03:12 Occupation?

03:14 Actor.

03:16 Actor?

03:17 [laughs]

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.

03:32 A total income is exactly $2,501.

03:37 All right.

03:38 Subtract your credit for dependents.

03:39 That comes to $1,701.

03:42 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.

03:53 $2,000.

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.

04:01 Just address it to your local collector of internal revenue...

04:05 Okay.

04:06 Sure, do it.

04:07 ...and drop it in the nearest mail...

04:08 Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy.

04:09 Hey, wait!

04:14 Well, this isn't necessary, but it shows the new spirit.

04:19 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.

04:35 American factories, working day and night.

04:42 Factories making guns, machine guns, anti-tank guns, long-range guns, guns, guns, all kinds

04:55 of guns.

04:58 To blast the aggressors from the seas.

05:09 Taxes for American factories, working full blast, making planes.

05:20 Bombers, dive bombers.

05:27 Flying Fortresses.

05:30 Interceptors.

05:32 Stalk the birds of prey that fly by night.

05:51 Taxes to bury the axis.

06:00 Taxes for ships, battleships, battlecruisers, destroyers, all kinds of battle wagons.

06:20 Taxes to sink the axis.

06:25 Taxes to keep them flying.

06:32 Taxes to keep them rolling.

06:33 Taxes to keep them coming.

06:34 Taxes to beat to earth the evil destroyer of freedom and peace.

06:44 This is our fight.

06:46 The fight for freedom.

06:49 Freedom of speech.

06:50 Of worship.

06:53 Freedom from want and fear.

06:57 Taxes will keep democracy on the march.

07:02 Freedom, let freedom ring.

07:06 All men and women, sing.
