Outlines
🚢 移民与创业精神
视频脚本的第一部分讲述了人类追求更好世界的历程中,船只载着充满希望的乘客前往新大陆。这些移民,包括年轻的乔纳森,一个来自海外的无技能青年,希望在新国家找到工作并根据他的能力与企业精神取得进步。随着时间的推移,乔纳森的收入增加,但他意识到自己应该得到更高的报酬。他决定辞职并开设自己的帽子生意。尽管他有储蓄,但创业初期的资金仍然紧张。幸运的是,他的朋友和邻居愿意投资他的新生意,一个有进取心的人提供了制作帽子的原材料,乔纳森很快就开始了自己的生意。他通过广告和销售技巧吸引了顾客,销售业绩良好,但他也有更大的梦想。
🎩 创业的挑战与回报
第二部分描述了乔纳森作为企业家所面临的挑战,包括支付员工工资、税收和投资者回报。他必须将部分利润再投资于业务,以开发更好的产品。随着时间的推移,自由和机会的坚实基础保护了个人的尊严和家庭,为有才能和企业精神的每个人提供了参与建设美国生活方式的机会。这个系统依赖于数百万节俭的美国人每年将储蓄投入到商业系统中,无论是工人、农民还是家庭主妇,都希望通过投资获得红利或利息。这些储蓄美元帮助购买土地、建筑、工具和设备,为不断增长的人口创造新的就业机会。
🏭 经济发展与税收的作用
第三部分强调了税收在维持和改善生活方式中的作用。税收用于改善和扩展教育系统、支付城市街道、消防和警察保护等。州税用于支付公路、教育机构和提高农场生产力的实验。联邦税用于灌溉和水利项目、国家公园、邮政服务、气象局等。税收还用于支付过去战争的巨大成本和国防计划。尽管如此,我们应该避免要求政府提供不必要的新服务,以免税收负担过重,影响我们的储蓄和投资能力。
🌎 维护自由与经济基础
最后一部分强调了维护政治和经济自由的重要性。尽管战争和其他破坏性力量可能破坏我们的自由基础,但我们应该利用宪法赋予我们的工具,修复任何裂缝。只要我们保持商业系统的基础强大,我们就能维持和改善我们祖先设想和建立的生活方式。这种生活方式为每个来到这个国家的人提供了根据他们的能力与企业精神取得进步的机会。我们应该确保年轻人有同样的机会去赢得成功和成就,并在自由的基础上继续为未来建设更好的生活。

our forefathers were constructing the
foundation of this nation by
interlocking inseparably the blocks of
our political and economic freedoms come

the way of life our forefathers
established on this Foundation of
freedoms Drew people from the Far
Corners of the Earth
and all those who set the foot on these
Shores had the opportunity to build a
better life for themselves
even young Jonathan an unskilled lad
from across the sea hope to find a job
where he could progress according to his
ability and Enterprise

skill it was about time for another

emergency

the necessary tools and equipment

friends and neighbors were willing to
invest some of their Savings in his new
business

with the passing years this strong
Foundation of freedoms protected the
Dignity of the individual and his family
gave everyone the right to worship as he
pleased
and promised anyone with ability and
Enterprise
the opportunity to participate in the
building of the American way of life as
we know it today
a way of life that depends upon millions
of Thrifty Americans who send a portion
of their savings to work in our business
system each year
[Music]
walks of life
workers
Farmers Housewives all of us send our
dollars to work in our business system
in the hope of earning dividends or
interest on our investment
[Music]
anyone who has an insurance policy a
bank deposit or a share of stock is
helping to finance our business system a
constant stream of savings dollars must
flow into big and small business each
year
these dollars help to buy the land the
buildings
the tools and equipment and create new
job opportunities for our expanding
population
the goods we produce are distributed to
main streets all over the country
[Music]
while the main street of today doesn't
look much like the main street of
Jonathan's time the principles of our
business system remain the same for
businessmen still compete with one
another for the consumer's supply of
spendable dollars
and Mrs consumer is still Mighty
critical of everything she buys
all competition
[Music]
[Applause]

Beyond a magic permafreeze so see your
dealer right away get a firm a freeze
today
ah yes dear lady Perma freezes your kind
of refrigerator high high quality at a
low low price sales dollars from
satisfied customers once again flow back
to permafreets
a successful business must have enough
sales dollars coming in to enable
management to pay the expenses of doing
business such as salaries and wages
materials and supplies
research and product development
plant maintenance and repair
in addition to all of these bills
management has to pay taxes to local
state and federal governments
any money that's left over is known as
profit
wise management plows part of it back
into the business
the remainder of the prophet is paid out
as dividends
these Dividends are sent back to
investors as a reward for risking their
Savings in the American Business System
although occasionally some of us pick a
lemon and have to take a loss
the constant investment of our savings
through good times and bad has enabled
our competitive business system to
continue to increase the production of
more and better Goods to meet the
demands of our Rising population for a
better standard of living
for example it was only a little more
than half a century ago that the average
worker had only inefficient tools to
help him turn out a product
[Music]
low production meant low wages
in 1900 many men had to work 10 hours a
day six days a week
there weren't enough money to provide
their families with the Bare Essentials
and labor was the rule in the home as
well as the factory
in many families the youngsters had to
work to add their earnings to the family
budget and forego the opportunity to get
an education
and with most families in those days the
standard of living left much to be
desired
[Music]
a half century later we had invested
enough in our business system to provide
the average worker with efficient and
expensive buildings and Machinery to
enable him to produce enough in a
40-hour week to earn twice as much as
the 1900 worker earned in a 60-hour week
this shorter Work Week gives us all more
leisure time to enjoy a standard of
living beyond the wildest dreams of
anyone who lived a half century ago the
more we earn the more our families have
to spend with the things they need and
want young people today have Leisure
Time for fun and enjoy educational
opportunities denied their fathers and
grandfathers
[Music]
and fortunately we have been able to
raise our standard of living without
sacrificing the spiritual side of life
which means so much to the American
family
foreign
system has continued to provide a better
life for our increasing population in
spite of destructive forces which have
pounded against our foundation of
freedoms with no avail
however Wars or the threat of Wars
interrupt the normal operations of our
competitive business system
and may result in government controls
which crack essential blocks in our
foundation of freedoms
in World War II
wages were controlled
many workers were frozen to their jobs
Farm prices were controlled
and profits of business were limited
raw materials were allocated between
essential and non-essential business
[Music]
on Main Street USA many of us found less
to buy because a good portion of our
productive capacity went to the war
effort
prices were fixed and the available
supply of goods was rationed
in war emergencies we allow government
to restrict certain of our freedoms but
we Americans have learned to remove
government controls as quickly as
possible
and to repair the blocks and the
foundation of our freedoms
to allow our business system to resume
its normal operations
while we invest part of our savings to
help Finance the world's most efficient
business system at the same time we pay
taxes to government to finance many
kinds of services which also contribute
to our way of life
for example our taxes must provide the
necessary funds to improve and expand
our school system
our taxes must be sufficient to pay for
city streets
help fire
and police protection and of course Aid
to the needy
[Music]
our state taxes help pay for highways
educational institutions
and among other things help to finance
important experiments to increase the
productivity of our Farms
our federal taxes pay for irrigation and
Reclamation projects
for national parks
Postal Services the weather bureau and
many other services
our taxes have to pay for the enormous
cost of past Wars and provide the funds
for a defense program which will ensure
the safety of our country
in addition all of us should be willing
to pay whatever taxes are necessary to
enable efficient government to improve
or expand any essential service
but with our present tax load we should
avoid pressuring government for any new
services that aren't absolutely
necessary
because we all know the more our
government provides the more taxes it's
forced to collect
[Music]
big business
[Music]
small businesses farmers
[Music]
foreign
Housewives and all of us have to pay our
share
[Applause]
demanding more and more from government
could create a tax burden heavy enough
to crack essential blocks in the
foundation of our business system
[Music]
therefore we shouldn't let our taxes
reach a point where they destroy our
ability to save and invest far as we
have seen our Rising standard of living
depends upon a constant flaw of savings
dollars into our business system each
year
[Music]
thank you
in the future of our country waves of
destructive forces will continue to
batter against our foundation
when any Force weakens the interlocked
blocks of our political and economic
freedoms
as good citizens we must be quick to use
the tools our constitution gives us and
repair any cracks that may appear
as long as we keep the foundation of our
business system strong
we shall be able to maintain and improve
the way of life our forefathers
conceived and established
a way of life which gave everyone who
came to this country the chance to
progress according to his ability and
Enterprise
like the Youth of yesterday the young
people of today deserve the same
opportunity to earn success and
accomplishment
and on this Foundation of freedoms
continue to build a better life for
themselves
and their fellow man
in the World of Tomorrow
[Music]
[Applause]
