The Joint Committee on Taxation estimated that in 2016, the corporate income tax raised $300 billion in revenue, while what it called ‘targeted subsidies’ cost about $270 billion. In other words, Congress could eliminate the subsidies and cut the corporate rate nearly in half without any significant loss in revenue. James B. Stewart Read Quote

I believe that writer’s block is a symptom. It’s not a disease, it’s the symptom of a disease. So what I try to do is kind of do it like ‘House’; write down the symptom and write down the other symptoms. Try to work backwards to figure out what the problem is. Cassandra Clare Read Quote
Teofilo Stevenson won his first Olympic gold medal in 1972 and his last world amateur championship in 1986. He won 302 fights and once went an unbelievable 11 years without a loss. Had Cuba not boycotted the 1984 Summer Olympics, many think Stevenson would have won an unmatched four gold medals in boxing. Brin-Jonathan Butler Read Quote
