“Criticism is like champagne, nothing more execrable if bad, nothing more excellent if good; if meagre, muddy, vapid and sour, both are fit only to engender colic and wind; but if rich, generous and sparkling, they communicate a genial glow to the spirits, improve the taste, and expand the heart.” IfsHeartSpiritRichWindFitTasteCriticismCommunicateExcellentGenerousChampagneSourMuddySparklingVapidColic Book:Lacon: or, Many things in few words Source: Lacon: or, Many things in few words

“What the Trump tax plan is a plan to give tiny little tax cuts to most Americans, raise taxes on perhaps one in five families and shower benefits on people who earn millions of dollars a year. And this fits with a fundamental principle the Republicans have been pursuing for a long time.
