I also don't think that law abiding tax payers should have to be punished by having to pay an estimated $40,000 for each of the three years to house Snipes in prison. Instead I think that #1 he should be sentenced to three years community service at a free tax clinic for the middle class tax payers, #2 be forced to pay back all of the taxes that he owes plus interest. And #3 be forced to invest (under goverment supervision) 3 years of his projected income (based on the last ten year average) into a buisines that will help the middle class unemployed to survive long enough to pay thier own taxes!! Don't agree? Kiss my afro!!! first up I’m pretty sure that 90% of hollywood stars do not take care of filing tax returns, (or even cooking dinner for themselves) but that is no excuse.

That he won only validates my point, which is taxpayers are the only individual obligated to pay the tax which is, by the way, constitutional. Now, if you unwittingly and under perjury profess to be a taxpayer, then shut-up and pay the taxes. I don't mean to be harsh, but I stated earlier that taxes and to whom they apply are jurisdictional and it appears that the point has been missed. Again, if you are a "person" as defined by the tax codes then the obligation is readily evident. If not, and obviously Tom is an example, then you have no legal obligation to pay federal income taxes other than excise taxes. Before you rebut, research the definition of person and I believe you'll concur with my perspective.

It's both a matter of voluntary compliance and jurisdictiion. One does not have to voluntarily comply, but once compliance is granted then taxes become obligatory. Learn to read the tax codes and turn off the television or put down the video games and most men and women, notice I didn't say "individuals," would not be minions of the IRS.

Often times very little is done about the most tragic situations. For instance, tax money given for financial ball outs to companies that declare bankruptcy later, or people who are killed by drunk drivers that may not be pursued. If Mr. Snipes can earn the money to pay this debt, he should be allowed to do that. Sometimes it is amazing to see who gets reasonable treatment under the law. Anyway, most people know that there are government sources that can destroy their lives in the name of making an example of a person. It appears that in this case, the humiliation has been achieved. At this point Mr. Snipes should pay the money in installments. If the bailout money is not repaid, will anyone be put on trail and going to go to jail for that?
