"Everyone wants to be appreciated at work and, as tax season approached this year, it occurred to us that possibly the least appreciated workers in America might be found at the IRS,"  said Chris Benham, chief marketing officer at Webroot.  "We thought an outpouring of love from American taxpayers might be just what they need to get them through the dog days of April.   The "Get on the IRS's Good Side" campaign is a win-win for taxpayers, too – safety, security and a little tongue-in-cheek fun to go along with the pain of paying."
