+          <p>Taler is an electronic payment system that was built with the goal of supporting taxation.
+             With Taler, the receiver of any form of payment is known, and the payment information comes
+             attached with details about what the payment was made for.  Thus, governments can use this
+             data to tax buisnesses and individuals based on their income, making tax evasion and
+             black markets less viable.</p>

+          <p>Taler's payments are cryptographically secured. Thus, customers, merchants and
+             the mint can mathemtically demonstrate their lawful behavior in court in case
+             of disputes. Financial damages are strictly limited, improving economic security
+             for individuals, merchants, the mint and the state.  Most importantly, an
+             independent auditor can ensure that there is no &quot;bad mint&quot;
+             within the Taler system who might threaten the economy due to fraud.</p>

+          <p>Taler is free software implementing an open protocol standard.  Thus, Taler will
