"there are no honest employees at the IRS"

Well, the IRS has A LOT of employees. There could probabilistically be at least one honest one.

On the other hand:

"One time Alexander the Great came to Athens; he had heard about Diogenes. Diogenes was the man who walked the streets of Athens, Greece, during the day time, with a lighted lantern -- looking for an honest man.

Diogenes lived in a large tub! He never found an honest man, but in the process of looking he exposed many liars and was known as a member of the School of Cynics."

Note that the same could be true even here at FR. ;-)

Diogenes was the original OWS’er.

He was homeless, and lived on food stamps, and was active in protests.
