			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;I want you to say that day that I tried to be right on the war question. I want you to be able to say that day that I did try to feed the hungry. I want you to be able to say that day that I did try in my life to clothe those who were naked. I want you to say on that day that I did try in my life to visit those who were in prison. And I want you to say that I tried to love and serve humanity.&#8221; ~MLK</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ahead of an amnesty deadline announced by the IRS, <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/11/17/offshore-bank-accounts-re_n_361136.html">over 14,700 U.S. taxpayers came forward to disclose billions in offshore bank accounts</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>A flood of people came forward in the last days before the amnesty program expired Oct. 15, IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman said. The final total far surpasses the number who disclose offshore accounts in a typical year &#8212; about 100 &#8212; and comes amid a broad U.S. crackdown on international tax evasion at Swiss bank UBS AG and other institutions.</p>
<p>&#8220;To put it simply, this is a historic milestone for the nation&#8217;s hardworking taxpayers,&#8221; Shulman said in a conference call from Washington.</p></blockquote>
<p>While this is indeed good news for honest U.S. taxpayers, I have to wonder how many seconds will pass before wingnutters blame the crimes of these 15,000 freeloading U.S. millionaires on ACORN, welfare moms, and universal healthcare? ;-)</p>
