Sir, that is why the ^W'orld has had so many wars. Taxation Need not Cripple The rule to determine what is the largest possi- ble amount to tax is plain, though its application may not always be easy. We should not tax high enough to cripple industry or impede production. Everyone must accept that. The reason that we should stop at thai point is not because of any rights that an individual or corporation may have to a cer- tain income or return on investment but simply because it is wisdom on t...he part of the government to leave enough so that the processes of produc- tion may continue uninterrupted in order that new taxes for the government may be produced. This- is the iron law of necessity in war time. It is the law that is applied to me; let it also be applied to money. We. are counseled by the highest economic au- thority, we are admonished by all history, we are commanded by every consideration of justice to the American boys who are marked for slaughter, to the American homes already in the shadow of death, to declare here and now by our votes on this record that the wealth of this country will be taken as mercilessly through the power of taxation as men are taken by force of the draft.
