Actor Wesley Snipes was indicted Tuesday on eight counts of tax fraud for failing to pay nearly $12 million in taxes and failing to file tax returns for six years.
Federal prosecutors in Tampa, Fla., said Snipes fraudulently claimed refunds in 1996 and 1997 on taxes already paid, and then failed to file returns between 1999 and 2004.
Probably looking at serious jail time if convicted...
WHAT A DOPE!
Like most godless liberals then don't learn and believe the laws are for the little people.
What will be his punishment?
At first, I thought this story was about Harry Reid!
Richard Hatch
Oh come on! He forgot just like David Dinkins did for years and will be given a pass.

Fake Documents
In 2005, Snipes was detained at Johannesburg International Airport for allegedly trying to pass through the airport with a fake South African passport. Snipes later told South African officials that he had applied for the South African papers not only for himself but for his family. During the interview, it was established that Snipes did indeed have fraudulent South African documentation in his possession. Snipes and his attorney agreed to cooperate with the South African Inspectorate of the National Immigration Branch in their investigation. Snipes was allowed to return home because he had a valid U.S. passport, but the South African authorities reduced his immigration status to undesirable as a result of the incident. To date, no explanation has been offered as to exactly why Snipes entered South Africa on forged papers.
I was thinking Willy Nelson.
For Wesley's sake, I hope he's a Democrat. Then all will be fine.
Guys, it was just a clerical error.
His staff will amend his returns and all is forgotten.
You can be a millionaire and never pay taxes:
First, go out and get a million dollars.
Then when the IRS comes to your door and says, "you haven't paid your taxes," just say two simple words in the English language:
"I Forgot!"
Wesley should take Steve Martin's advice (How to make a million dollars and not pay any tax). Just say "I forgot." EXCUUUUUUUSE MEEEEEEE!
And then say it again just for the fun of it.
Maybe he can get a speaking gig at the Democrat Convention.
Beat you by nine seconds.
Streisand’s Liberal Rants at Star-Studded Democratic Fundraiser (2002)
Barbra Streisand headlined a celebrity-packed fundraiser in Los Angeles Sunday night which raised $6 million for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. The DCCC, chaired by Congresswoman Nita Lowey, raises money for House candidates.
A September 24, 2002 DCCC press release listed “artists who are supporting the event,” most likely by sending a check, but which I did not see mentioned in any news story about the event: “Jack Nicholson, Martin Sheen, Ben Affleck, Maya Angelou, Marilyn and Alan Bergman, Billy Crystal, Robin Williams, Michael Douglas, James Gandolfini, Wesley Snipes, Julia Louis-Dreyfuss, Goldie Hawn, Sally Field, Whoopi Goldberg, Christopher Reeve, Anjelica Huston, John Travolta, Kevin Spacey, and Annette Bening.”
You had more coffee than me.
