The author argues that aggressive corporate taxation is patriotic and essential to expand industry for war production. He defends corporations as useful, addresses fears of hardship for stockholders, and supports taxing undistributed earnings to shift profits to individual income tax. He notes unity in party and religion around winning the war and rebuts misperceptions about corporations.
