Money Crunch
(Fox News) - Police in the suburban Chicago town of Carpentersville say the Internal Revenue Service is seeking back taxes on $60,000 of income and unemployment benefits from a 7-year-old whose identity was stolen.
The victim's mother tried to claim the boy as a dependent on her 2007 income tax return. But she was told by the IRS she could not because his Social Security number was being used by someone else. Police say a suspect in custody used the boy's personal information to get work, buy a truck, pay bills and collect benefits.
Now the IRS is said to be holding the second-grader liable for the taxes and has sent him a notice demanding payment.

And yet, a number of Republicans have attacked Ron Paul for wanting to do away with the IRS.
What do you expect of an organization whose charter is theft?
