Tax season can be frustrating

Extremely so.

Think about if the guy's name was Mohamed or Ahmed....

Over 20 years ago a friend got me into the NY Toy Show, usually restricted to industry types. One company that specialized in model buildings for electric trains (post office, church, etc.) had a nondescript brick building with smoke stains and a light inside to imitate a blaze. The sign on the building read "Internal Revenue Service," and it was sold as "I.R.S. on Fire." When I returned the next year, it was gone - the salesman said it had sold well, but the IRS had spoken to the owner & he had decided 'voluntarily' to discontinue it. So much for the First Amendment, but who wants an audit?

They probably are hoping hard that it is 'an isolated incident'.
