I wonder what the 5% of Harrison, Arkansas residents who aren't white think about that sign.

What they think and what they openly say are clearly two different things given the local KKK chapter.

Our, only assignment about the period was to be given a biography of an industrialist and write a report.

I had J. P. Morgan. I don't remember what I wrote, but I am sure it is hilarious if I can find it.

Did you write about the time when he held the world economy hostage (during the Panic of 1907) in order to acquire TC&I for US Steel? Or when the Pujo Committee found out that Morgan effectively held control of the vast majority of the market through interlocking directorates? Good times.

I could swear this already happened once in the 70s or 80s, around the time things like Prop 13 in California and other "taxpayer revolts" were happening. And it was laughed out of court and led to the dude trying to bring the suit getting audited later.

Nowadays there's actually penalties in the Internal Revenue Code against frivolous tax positions (under Sections 6702 and 6673) as well as some potential criminal penalties; they came to be in the last decade or so.

Non-profits are corporations as well, they just have an IRS letter.

That's not fully correct - some are legally (and tax-wise) trusts (and even fewer unincorporated associations).

Also the plot to every Merlin story in like the last 50 years.

They just finished :downswords: about Moses and Pharaoh being puppets for two different groups of aliens that were having a West Side Story-style gang fight.

Edit: Apparently Babylon 5 is God, based on the CGI re-enactment of the alien mothership.
