Where will I go to get free advice on how to run my prostitution ring now?  :(

In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

1) Did ACORN actually help fill out documents or returns?  If not, what is the basis for such investigation?

2) How do you procecute any entire organization (as opposed to culpable individuals) for aiding and abetting tax evasion?

None. It's all about bringing down the organization with bad PR.

1) Beats me.  I did hear a story on NPR about 'tax deniers" who regularly charged for telling people they're not legally required to pay taxes.

2)You don't.
