Summary

This quote suggests that during a time of grave national danger, such as a war, it is unreasonable and inappropriate for any American citizen to have a net income exceeding $25,000 after paying their taxes.

This quote reflects the belief that individuals' financial sacrifices are necessary for the greater good of collective national security and prosperity.
