The whole trouble with the Republicans is their fear of an increase in income tax, especially on higher incomes. They speak of it almost like a national calamity. I really believe if it come to a vote whether to go to war with England, France and Germany combined, or raise the rate on incomes of over $100,000, they would vote war.

Nothing makes a man, or a body of men, as mad as the truth. If there is no truth in it, they laugh it off.

People learn more from observation that they do from conversation.
