Death, Taxes & Ikea

They say nothing is certain except death and taxes. It appears that also certain is that everytime you hit up Ikea and buy yourself a box of Ektorp, Bjursta, or Expedit -- you're diverting money away from "the man" and to a charity of sorts.

The reason Ikea can flourish in this economy, when other firms are floundering, involves not paying taxes...a tactic that I'm sure would help many (but you didn't hear that from me).
