Original Message Well we have all been saying that Obama has been beating a dead horse.. Now we have proof. Should we just put our hands up now and give the Federal Government control of everything? Maybe they can find something for everything under the civil war horse act?

"In a little known act, the Obama administration and the IRS have tried to begin regulating tax preparers by using a law from 1884 concerning dead or lost horses during the Civil War. The government is trying to use a law that allowed the government to decide who could and who could not defend a client against the government on horses taken during the Civil War. "

"Justice Department Tax Division lawyer Gilbert Rothenberg tried explaining the government's contention that the 1884 law could be applied to tax preparers. But there are big differences in the two cases. In the 1884 law, the government used the new law to decide who was qualified to represent a complainant. Tax preparers provide a service and never represent anyone. "
