I previously blogged the criminal tax case of Kent Hovind, the self-styled Dr. Dino of Creation Science Evanfelism and owner of the defunct Dinosaur Adventure Land Theme Park, Science Center, and Museum. The Eleventh Circuit yesterday affirmed the conviction and sentence of Mr. Hovind (for failing to collect and pay employment withholding taxes, obstructing tax laws, and structuring transactions to avoid financial reporting laws) and of his wife (for structuring transactions to avoid reporting laws). United States v. Hovind, No. 07-10090 (11th Cir. Dec. 30, 2008).
Those arguments have been tried over and over again, and have failed over and over again. Anyone trying them is a moron. The only way to change this is at the ballot box.
He should have changed his name to Eliot Spitzer...
See my post #4...
Since Hovid didn’t collect/pay the taxes won’t the employees still be liable?
note the associations in the title. one wonders, if the man was a shoe salesman, if this would have been worth anyone’s time to print.
Liable to fill out their form 1040’s properly, like everyone else, yes. Liable to pay FICA, SSI, etc? Maybe technically but practically I don’t think so.
Ping!
