Bingo...Had it been George Clooney or anyone else...of a much lighter shade, all would have been forgiven...A DUB, if you're watching the Larry King special, it's stated that a couple years ago a Billionaire (don't remember his name) plead guilty to tax EVASION of 54 million dollars (a felony), promised to bring his money back to the states and pay the 54 million and was given 6 months probation...

Wesley was convicted of a misdemeanor, (failure to pay taxes) 3 years, maximum penalty of 1 year for each count...3 years....
The jurors all agreed they would convict him of failure to pay taxes, not tax evasion...They all said, they never thought he would have been given this punishment....In addition, one of the jurors said "I knew Snipes was guilty before we even went to trial"...nothing happened...

Now, in all seriousness I don't know if it was because he was black, famous or both....but whatever reason, it's bullshit and this was clearly a witch hunt...

He is on Larry King right now.

At the most recent meeting of the whites, we discussed this situation and it was deemed that we couldn't have a black guy flaunting the law the way he did......so he is being made an example of. Let this be a lesson at your next black meeting.

How fucking bad is Larry King?

PIP, Larry.

[ManBearPig...]

while i'm not in favor of the current administration and them being funded, them laws is them laws.

i also think it's fucking pointless for people to go to jail for victimless crimes (yes, that includes smoking pot).

i think the standard punishment would've been better, i.e. = pay all taxes you owe plus interest, either voluntarily or through government auction and reposessions.  then have him do charity work, a la michael vick.  him sitting in a cell doesn't help anyone, and just costs money to feed him and wash his clothes.

Why the fuck would you keep your money in the states?!! when there are so many tax free and royalty free banks around the world, tons of Swiss banks, the islands (Caymans , etc.)  why do you think so much of hollywood lives outside of the states or has dual citizenship

it's complete bullshit that they  sent Snipes to jail for this tax bullshit, fuck the government and fuck taxes, all that shit is going to losers on social assistance anyways.

Yeah not like taxes do any good or do things like fund public road systems, school systems, public facilities, waste services, supporting armed services around the globe, etc, etc, etc

In the end of the day, sure taxes suck but you still gotta pay whats due.  I fully agree with what  ManBearPig... said in that they should have done other means to punish Snipes then to send him to jail.  Easily he should have 3 million of equity in something......at least you would think.

[epic_alien]

taxes dont go to pay for that shit you moron, they use tax money to spend on shit as they please, and when mr water meter man wants to get paid after all is said and done, they just make more money out of thin air.


fuck taxes, its thievery, remember when they tar and feather these motherfuckers? there was a reason for that, because its stealing, people have forgotten that, and have become little bitches, and comply with everything out of fear.

16th amendment . read it, and learn that the states needed to ratify income taxes was never met!, being taxed on your income is illegal.

the government hopes your to stupid to read it, and they are right, you are to stupid, you just want your htc phones  up your ass all day

I hear what your saying, but you still have to live in the day to day life while you work to change it.   Sure taxes suck but much greater men then Snipes have fought that battle and lost.  At the end of the day he is still accountable to what is owed.

If more people DID pay taxes we would be better off in the US. Just look at how many illegals we have in our country that use our resources but do not contribute anything, not to mention others who find ways around not paying...

Don't kid yourself..Taxes pay for  many great things we have in our country and are much better off HAVING TAXES...then not.

Just how its used is another matter of discussion...

that was a good bit.........patrice o'neil is the most under rated brilliant comic in the world



he is like a modern day philosopher. he spits such truth when he is on O & A, that the rest of them just sit back and let him riff

[epic_alien]

i think your wrong about paying them. yes i know its mandatory, and yes i pay them, but the government has not and never will manage the money successfully, why you would want this bad management to continue?

people should not pay them, and see what happens, do you really think if everyone just called the governments bluff, everyone would be sent to prison?

I say if he has the money to cover the back taxes then there would be no reason to send him to prison. I wonder if this will also happen to Nicolas Cage? He owes more than Snipes does. Maybe Snipes wouldn't have been sentenced so harshly if he had admitted that he didn't pay the taxes instead of trying to blame a business manager. Even if the Business manager didn't take care of the IRS stuff for Snipes, fact of the matter is Snipes owed this money to the IRS and should have admitted it. Things may be different for him and he wouldn't be going away for 3 years. He will be out in 12 months anyways.
