			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to an article written by <a href="http://online.wsj.com/search/search_center.html?KEYWORDS=LAURA+SAUNDERS&amp;ARTICLESEARCHQUERY_PARSER=bylineAND">Laura Saunders</a> and published by the <a href="http://online.wsj.com/">Wall Street Journal</a>, social media tools are now being used by revenue agents in California, Minnesota, and Nebraska to gather information about delinquent tax payers.</p>
<p>Agents are browsing information published on MySpace, discussion boards, and using search engines to learn about unclaimed income, purchases, and the physical location of suspects who owe back taxes.</p>
<p>Scofflaws should beware, take head, or pay their taxes. Cue appropriate song by The Beatles:</p>
<blockquote><p>Should five per cent appear too small<br />
Be thankful I don&#8217;t take it all<br />
Cos I&#8217;m the taxman, yeah I&#8217;m the taxman</p>
<p>If you drive a car, I&#8217;ll tax the street<br />
If you try to sit, I&#8217;ll tax your seat<br />
If you get too cold I&#8217;ll tax the heat<br />
If you take a walk, I&#8217;ll tax your feet</p>
<p>Taxman!<br />
Cos I&#8217;m the taxman, yeah I&#8217;m the taxman</p></blockquote>
