Comments on: Wesley Snipes Gets 3 Years In Prison

Film Star Will Do Time Over $2.7 Million In Unpaid Taxes

He knew what the law was and chose to defy it. At that point the IRS makes contact to settle the dispute. He wouldn''t settle so they made an example out of him. If he had been an average joe blow he might have gotten away with it, being a famous actor was to much for the IRS to pass up. I think if he had been white he would have received the same treatment, Martha Stewart did.

It does make it all a joke, doesn''t it? If people like Cheney can violate the laws, and Libby can just get a pardon for something more serious, then when people get punished severely for less, it''s just one big joke.

I didn''t know martha stewart was black.

Another celeb brotha goes to jail for the white mans entertainment....Funny how white celebs get off with a
slap on the rist and a blac man gets the maximum.
Its always nice to see racism alive and well in the great USA.

Do you think he will get sent to that cryogenic prison again like in demolition man?

[shanev137]

Meanwhile, murderers can get out in 5 years on good behavior.

He''s the Black Martha Stewart. Pisssed off the wrong people. Since he didn''t lie to protect the outing of a CIA Agent, (Treason), I don''t think he''ll be getting a pardon from Shrub. (He''s the wrong color, and his name isn''t "Scooter".)

The U.S. has so many Laws on the books at the local, state and federal level its impossible to know what they all are or if you are even breaking them, some Laws have been on the books since the birth of our nation. The most sinister thing about U.S. Laws is that some can sit dormant for many years, never enforced and suddenly someone doesn''t like you or you rub someone the wrong way and they come after you, throw the proverbial book at you! Someone doesn''t like Wesley Snipes, maybe because he has a lot of White girl friends, Blacks are usually a target big time because of this and yes I went there because its true! Especially when you consider USA Today is reporting the Government Accountability Office estimates that more than 60,000 federal contractors owe $7.7 billion in back taxes! Wal-Mart owes more than $17.7 million in back corporate income taxes! True Wesley Snipes owes $2.7 million in back taxes, but there are many in the back taxes line in front of him who owe a lot more being ignored to make a point!

HOW THE FED & IRS WAS BORN AND ITS NOT A *** THING ANY OF US OR ANYONE CAN DO ABOUT IT !!

[cpaide]

hey, what about the state taxes? bet the california franchise tax boards wants a piece of him too.

"well-intentioned, but miseducated"

what''s that mean? intended to pay no tax but miseducated on how to go about it? nobody''s that stupid. wait a minute--Woody Harrelson as a caracter witness. maybe your attorneys ARE that stupid.

you make 10''s of millions and think you can pay no tax? only oil companies can do that.

[gkc99]

Maybe Hilly can pardon if and when she becomes Prez, like Bill did for Mark Rich.

But wait!!--has Wesley made any contributions to the Clinton library?

[gkc99]

We can''t let any of them black boys get too uppity! Gummint gotta make an example.

Now a rich white boy, that would be different.

[ranger1948]

He should have known the govt always likes to make an example out of someone who is rich and famous when they **** them off enough.
