check these people who wanted to be tax exempt out. Their movement is based on scams and rackets. If you've ever listened to limbaugh one of his advertisers is a company that helps people get out of paying tax. They're knee jerk reactionaries against taxes and I wouldn't put it past then to try and cheat the system. Not to mention they all claimed affiliation with a political movement. I'd be more pissed off if they hadn't been under scrutiny.
