Does that mean 1%ers weigh the same as a duck?

Well witches and wizards never pay taxes. Mostly because they provide a necessary service to the community, secondly they heard about what happened last time one of them when knocking at the hut's door.

I just came in here to say that Robin Tunney is hot, and I would love to start a serious relationship with her.

"As the state began fiscal consolidation in the 17th century, it cracked down on local courts and enforced tax collection. More revenue was raised and fewer witches were tried."

Today there are no witch trials, and I pay a ridiculous amount of tax. I can dig.

This study was performed by the same folks who brought us the causation between the number of pirates and global temperature.

Some large corporations avoid paying taxes the legal way -- financial wizardry and loopholes. General Electric paid no corporate income tax in the United States from 2008 to 2010, despite more than $10-billion in profit, according to a recent report from American non-profit group Citizens for Tax Justice. Many in the Occupy Wall Street camp call that accounting a kind of magic.

So, General Electric has been turning members of OWS into newts? That would explain a lot of the protest-goers.
