Many Happy Returns1986
Calvin Dixon:
We've only had one real weapon in the war against the taxpayer - Fear. And the level of fear is dropping out there and it's got me worried. Study history? One guy that always fascinated me was Ghengis Khan...He had a rather ingenious method for keeping his vast empire under his thumb. He'd occasionally pick out a village at random and burn it to the ground. That would frighten all the other villages into towing the line. His theory is still sound today.
Darryl Webb:
That may be a little drastic for our district, sir...
Calvin Dixon:
Granted, but we modify it. Suppose we pick a taxpayer in each of our trouble spots...and put him through the mill.
Darryl Webb:
So he tells his friends...
Calvin Dixon:
...and they tell their friends. And everyone's frightened into being honest around April 15th. Remember, Darryl, one audit touches many lives.
