Income taxes are due on April 18th this year, so this is a timely question.
According to a survey by DDB Worldwide Communications Group , 15% of Americans admitted cheating on their returns. Moreover, the tax cheats were more likely than non-cheaters to cheat in other ways: to keep the wrong change given by a cashier, to solicit a phony job reference, to lie to obtain a government benefit, even to steal money from a child.
And yet, these cheaters disproportionately believe that they are “overall better people”, who are “special and deserve to be treated that way”. So perhaps I asked the wrong question.
Perhaps I should have asked: “Are you special?”

Please consider reading this interview (http://blog.faithstreet.com/leaders-speak-a-talk-with-rev-john-merz-of-th ) with an Episcopal priest in Greenpoint, Brooklyn might interest you. The Rev. John Merz talks about the inherent spiritual energy of New York City, the challenges of leading an aging congregation in a gentrifying neighborhood, and much more. If you find the interview interesting, please share it. Blessings,
