Kay's Post on the Tea Party

Joe's Take on the Tea Party

While I was in hiding--[1] tax season ended. Congrats to all professional tax preparers,especially the tax bloggers.

[2] The Wandering Tax Pro (Robert Flach) resumed his blog. Welcome back.

[3] The 52nd Carnival of Taxes was published. I had a post on the House Small Business Committee challenging the IRS on increased frequency of audits.

[4] The "tea party" phenomenon occurred. While my opinion probably was closer to Joe's than Kay's (see links above), I can see where there would be suspicion that Republican leaders may have had a hand in the coordination of the parties.
