This para from the article is particularly funny: Many of the mistaken payments, including one to a former IRS employee, were for $43,209. That's the figure Essence magazine suggested in an article on the subject in 1993 as being the updated value of 40 acres and a mule, which some freed slaves were given under an order by a Union general during the Civil War.

"We're seeing all sorts of honest taxpayers who are being duped by these slavery scam promoters." This sentence, by itself, is open for interpretation. By slavery scam promoters, are we referring to the Jesse Jacksons and Alan Sharptons of the world or the forever guilty-minded, liberal, left media (a la Mike Wallace)? <g> There's no doubt that honest taxpayers are always the group left holding the bag.
