Can't remember the interest rate the IRS charges, but it's less than the rate that deadbeats pay credit card companies. (18%?)

But you are missing the point, Mike. If you take the money you owe the IRS, and invest it in, say, YHOO, you can double, triple, quadruple, and then pay the IRS and have more to invest and double, triple, quadruple. Get with the program!<g>

MB - (...And I know I'd rather owe Best Buy and Master Card and not be able to pay than the IRS.)

The best part is that IF you owe Best Buy enough, it's like owning 51% of the stock. OTOH, the downside may be that owning 51% of the stock is no improvement over the 0.4% of a part per million of the IRS you DO own. -g-

Regards, Don
