You may have heard that Donald Trum has long refused to release his tax returns, the way every other nominee for president has done for decades. You can look at 40 years of my tax returns.

The party should stand for a constantly wider diffusion of property. That is the greatest social and economic security that can come to free men. It makes free men.

The income and estate taxes create an orderly movement to diffuse swollen fortunes more effectively than all the quacks.

Esther Hicks

Take your Inner Being everywhere you go. If you take your Inner Being to the party, it's going to be a good party! If you take your Inner Being, the food that you eat will be received perfectly by the cells of your body. Every word that comes out of your mouth will be beneficial to everyone who hears them with their ears - or with their vibration. Don't go anywhere without your Inner Being. That's what "Allowing" is. Always having your Inner Being present. And then, anything else that happens is always orchestrated perfectly by Law of Attraction.

Ernest Hemingway

How would that premise stand up if he examined it? That was probably why the Communists were always cracking down on Bohemiansism.

Down with Bohemianism, the sin of Majakowski.
