	<description>If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen. â€” Samuel Adams</description>

The news report below investigates the claims and then goes one further, scrutinizing McCrory&#8217;s unwillingness to release his tax records. It&#8217;s all very fishy.
