Generally, if New York Attorney General Elliot Spitzer sues a company you can be sure it’s found a market and people are using its products. This time, at the height of tax season, he’s suing H&R Block for providing a savings program for people. The Company, according to an internal email available on Drudge, is certain the motivation is political and is just itching to fight him in court, having what they think is a good story to tell. There’s been a concerted effort recently, it seems, to introduce legal and regulatory obstacles to stop the poor from saving or getting credit.

Mr Spitzer is also a leading light in the tobacco boondoggle.
