SOAKING THE RICH:

US Treasury Sets New 1-Day Tax Receipt Record Of $85.8 Billion (Benton Ives-Halperin, 9/19/06, Dow Jones Newswires)

Treasury Undersecretary for Domestic Finance Randal Quarles said Friday's numbers provided a "continuing demonstration of the strength of the U.S. economy."

"In fact, Friday's gross receipts were the largest in a single day in the nation's history - 20% higher than receipts on the same quarterly tax payment date last year," Quarles said in a statement.

Funny sort of corporateering....
