April 15 ?

What does April 15 th mean to you? I would bet if that question was asked of adult Americans the answer would be "It's tax day." WRONG!
Shortly after 7:00AM on the morning of April 15, 1865 Abraham Lincoln died. He was shot the previous evening and lingered through the night unconscious but alive. How many people know that? Everybody seems to remember Nov 22, 1963 when Kennedy was killed. The media brings it up every year. In the grand scheme, Kennedy was nowhere near the President that Lincoln was. Why does Lincoln's death have to be overshaddowed by the IRS? Whould it be that hard to move the tax deadline to April 30th ?
Come on congress, get off your asses and do it.
