The gaps in the old tax law must be closed so that the wealthy may not escape. And in addition, and I say this in all sincerity, the great middle class of this country . . . for its own preservation must be willing to subject itself to the taxes necessary to finance the additional emergency obligations incurred if they are incurred.
