I've furnished a lot of advice and redressed a lot of wrongs, and I must say that what you've put up makes utter sense. Please uphold the good work - the more individuals know the better they'll be equipped to cope with the tax man, and that's what it's all about.

But that's not likely to happen. They will get a slap on the wrist much like various preachers have received in the past. In an election year, this topic is too hot to handle. The executive branch (in this case the IRS) can't afford to come down too heavy handedly. I do not, however, feel that this is because Rudy is a Republican and thus benefiting from preferential treatment from the Bush Administration. This would happen if the beneficiary was a Democrat as well. It will all blow over in a matter of months.

Joe Palmer (immediate past president) is a complete fool who let all of this happen right under his nose. The association's attorney, Ray Chandler is an inept buffoon with an ego that is inversely proportional to his intelligence (he ain't too bright), and the current and future leadership (two dolts named Butch Womak and Alvin Payne) are as ignorant as two apes. Jim Bowie probably had sincere intentions here, but the aforementioned culprits should have (as people in authority) had the foresight to make sure that it never got to this lowly state.

The more they attack him the stronger he gets, can't they figure that out? Who bought the support of our Senaters and where did that money come from? Romney started the Commonwealth PAC, a personnel slush fund, with a state PAC in a dozen primary states including SC. Last year one person gave $50,000 to five seperate Romney PACs. Is this a loop hole in the law to get around campaign finance laws or is it just illegal? Are not PACs non profit organizations that are only supposed to support issues and not candidates? This money is used to buy support, although it does not seem to be working according to the polls. Reference: Fortune July 9, 2007 Race for the White House, Mitt Romney, page 60 - 62.
