Love that woman. Did she marry the wrong guy?
Don’t like to leave a tip for Uncle Sam either.
Rev Al owed 4.5 million at one point and was never sent to the pokey.
The guy sounds like a pip-squeak...
There’s nothing the IRS hates and readily goes after more viciously than failure to withhold/remit payroll taxes. You can launder hundreds of millions via offshore banks or whatever and that could go on for years. But a small biz out of compliance with withholding regs they will go after with guns blazing. [perhaps a different analogy would be better] Because anything they want to know/show can be readily proven. The IRS will write strenuously worded letters on almost any other topic, but withholding issues, they come and chain your doors shut and slap liens on anything they can.
It’s more or less justified, in this case. If you are withhholding taxes you are supposed to pay on someone elses behalf and you don’t remit, you’re stealing twice. It often happens innocently, but it cannot CONTINUE innocently. The IRS has zero sense of humor on this topic, and once you get into 5 figures on withholding, they will not hesistate to crush you.
My wife was doing “the books” for a guy who was not paying withholding. She discovered it and called our accountant. He said, “Pack your stuff and get out of there now, today.”
She did.
Okay, sure, punish the taxee for not paying their taxes. Taxes are stupid. Any sort of involuntary redistribution of wealth/income is stupid. But the laws are the laws.
But I think it is the responsibility of the taxors to have simple, enforceable rules. He should have to pay about the first month of unpaid taxes, after that, it is the fault of the government for not collecting the taxes. You can’t have it both ways. If you make the rules complicated and difficult to follow and enforce, that is your fault.

I’m sure Gladys had her reasons for naming her son ‘Shanga’.
Maybe it’s a take from Shing-a-Ling, a popular dance early in her career.
Some reason she didn’t put Sonny on a Midnight Train to Georgia to keep him one step ahead of The Law? ;)
And yet, the likes of Al Sharpton and the Clintons still roam free...
