Tax evasion is the same as shoplifting. Everybody else has to pay for the stuff you steal.

No, he filed a FALSE return - big difference. Just ask Al Capone.

[Prosecutors said Snipes'' case was important to send a message to would-be tax protesters not to test the government. ]

How did Wesley Snipes get more time than Michael Vick... Even when Vick tested positive for drugs prior to his sentencing... I guess not paying taxes is far more severe than animal cruelty... Go figure
