He noted that in addition to Sen. Obama, speakers included Lynne Redgrave and Bill Moyers. He noted the Senator’s remarks did not concern politics. He did state there were some campaign tables but they were well outside the conference facilities and were on public sidewalks. This would all seem to be well outside the IRS scrutiny. As tax time does draw near for many Americans, these controversies are also reminiscent of Christ's Tax Return itself as noted by that First Century CPA Saint Matthew, in The Gospel According to Saint Matthew 17:24-27 . '... "What do you think, Simon?" he asked. "From whom do the kings of the earth collect duty and taxes - ”from their own sons or from others?" "From others," Peter answered.' Peter and Jesus had to go fishing for their tax money. Maybe this time it is the IRS which has nothing to do but fish. :-) Our pastor atttended the conference in Hartford.

‘… “What do you think, Simon?” he asked. “From whom do the kings of the earth collect duty and taxes – ”from their own sons or from others?”

“From others,” Peter answered.’
