Moustachioed men demand tax breaks

A number of moustachioed people in the US are demanding a tax break for their facial features.

The American Mustache Institute is planning to go to Washington on April Fool's Day for its "million moustache march" to campaign for a $250 (€189) tax break to cover maintenance fees for their defining features.

Aaron Perlut, president of the organisation, condemned "a long-standing pattern of discrimination against people with moustaches".

He also wants to see current US President Barack Obama sport a moustache, as nine of the 43 men who preceded him have done.
