No justice….
This is what I was talking about earlier. There’s murderers roaming the streets, but if you don’t pay a fine, or tax your the enemy of the state.
Wesley Snipes gets 3 years in jail for tax evasion, yet Paris, Lohan, and other assorted “stars” do drugs, get drunk, hop in their cars, endanger peoples lives and get a slap on the wrist. Sometimes there is no justice in the justice system.

He broke the law, he should pay his debt, but where is the parity. Does not paying the government equal to risking people’s lifes?

The difference between Snipes and the names you mentioned is more than just the offense committed. The Feds, unlike local or even state prosecutors, always go for the throat. Race, sex, fame, none of it matters. You can go down the list of names from Martha Stewart to Michael Vick. If they come after you, its trouble. Even more so if you are a celebrity because they look to make an example of the person.
