Behind The "Work-At-Home" Street Spam Signs

Sabalon writes: "If you live almost anywhere in the U.S. then you have probably seen tons of the 'Make thousands working at home' signs tacked up almost everywhere. Cockeyed.com has an interesting story of one persons quest to uncover the source behind all this money just waiting to be made, the company behind it (or not behind it for legal reasons), and an oversaturated market." Spam, just another medium.

Why don't you go burn some books afterwords to complete the day?

Sure, if the books were left out in a public thoroughfare just like any other litter, I'd be perfectly glad to do that.

It's a tax break!

If you run your own business, such as drumming up business for someone else, you can claim milage, gasoline, and a 1/4th of your living space expenses as a business expense..

If your business consists of putting up ugly signage, but you get thousands of dollars back from the Fed in taxes, wouldn't you do it?

What if you really needed the money.. I mean, so badly that you would be willing to walk around at 3am, tacking paper to signs.. You'd do it.
