Tax Cheaters

April is the cruelest month, because most Americans associate it with tax time. What is interesting is to see how even the IRS uses its website for consumer advocacy. See Suspicious e-Mails and Identity Theft as an example of this trend.

As the tax deadline approaches, I'd also recommend a look at the rhetoric of tax exempt status. The politically-oriented Family Research Council is included in the Combined Federal Campaign under "Women, Children, and Family Service Charities." During the same tax year, the IRS has threatened the exempt status of churches taking positions against the war.
