NPR's blogger Robert Smith tells of what the IRS could learn from Mormons and their belief in paying tithing, or 10 percent of their income, to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Smith cited a study by Gordon Dahl, an economist at the University of California, who is Mormon.
Dahl and Smith both questioned the meaning of income,
and said many people have differing opinions on what this word actually
means.
"As anyone who has ever done their taxes knows,
figuring out what counts as income is harder than it sounds. The IRS has
hundreds of pages of rules about these things, but Dahl wanted to know
how people think about money when only God is watching.
