The website for the Figli di San Gennaro, the non-profit that has been running the Feast of San Gennaro since 1996, claims that the organization has donated more than $1.6 million dollars to at least 72 charitable organizations in the past 15 years. "No other street fair in New York City comes close to donating the amount of money we give to charities each year," Joseph Mattone, president of the organization, says on the website Which may well be true, but in 2009 at least (the last year for which tax records are available) the feast didn't give a dime to any charities.

NYC Lets You File Taxes Free Online
According to Department of Consumer Affairs, over 2.5 million New Yorkers paid to have their taxes done in 2007.

Rangel's Taxes Keep Turning Up Mangled
Rangel claims that he just discovered the errors and that once an accounting expert performs a "thorough, independent review," he will publicly release his tax returns from the past 20 years.

Clintons' Tax Returns Sent Up by SNL
Hillary Clinton's Friday afternoon tax return disclosure about her and Bill's $109 million in income between 2000 and 2007 became fodder for last night's Saturday Night Live opening. While it's awesome to see Darrell Hammond play Bill Clinton, the Laser Cats 3 Digital Short was a little more fun.
