Ain't that something? I'm not mad at him. Not at all. But if they are going after this entrepreneur, I'm sure John "Breck Girl" Edwards should be getting either a phone call or a certified letter from the I.R.S., no?

He's a leech. He profits obscenely from the system of democratic capitalism, but makes essentially no contribution to its maintenance. Meanwhile, millions of his struggling fellow citizens stagger under the burden of their tax contributions.

He's a leech and a sh*theel.

This guy may be guilty as sin, but I love the NYT attempts at class envy to smear Anderson. After all, he frequently flew in a private jet and made deals worth millions of dollars. The intimation being that he must be guilty of something.

"[P]rofits obscenely." Spoken like a dyed-in-the-wool Marxist. And since when is capitalism "democratic"?

Not to worry. He'll make a daring escape in a giant Bob's Big Boy...

"The I.R.S. holds all Americans, even the very wealthy, to the same standard,"

Tell it to a liberal. Maybe they'll believe it.

Marxist? (laughing) Not a chance. Marx was wrong even when he was writing (in the comfort and security of British libraries).

'Democratic capitalism' ought to be distinguished from 'Chinese capitalism' and 'Russian capitalism' and the like, those state-run, pretend capitalisms that aren't.

"Mr. Anderson ran the table when it came to violating the tax laws," Mark W. Everson, the Internal Revenue Service commissioner, told a news conference Monday. "Because of his dishonest dealings, Mr. Anderson's lavish lifestyle was subsidized by honest, hard-working Americans."

That is a bald-faced lie.

So the guy worked, and made a gew bucks. But he didn't voluntarily give any of it to the government, so throw him in a hole. Hell, we got plenty of pregnant teenagers who will be better taxpayers with their EIC.

Not to mention immigrants who end up in the emergecy wards getting stabbed by the shitload.

So he hid something. I remember a few amendments, not to mention something called the Miranda decision, that's supposed to protect your right to be a peaceable, hard working fellow, and not have your privacy and property invaded.


The 28th amendment doesn't say "All Persons get to argue in a court of law how tight their chains are"

If there's one area of government that I absolutely loathe, it's the tax code and its draconian enforcer-agency, the IRS.

Failing to pay income taxes is the worst possible crime to the New York Times.

I can't believe people are disobeying the 22,000 pages of regulations of the Internal Revenue Code. I am shocked...shocked, I tell you.

I demand they throw the book at all those who wantonly and willfully disobey federal immigration, um,(sorry), tax laws.

You mentioned "contributions" in your post as if this was some charitable organization that we donate to of our own free will. The IRS is a terrorist organization that over the years has managed to use Americans innate honesty to convince them that they "owe" part of their labor to a corrupt government.

I just got an e-mail from him. It says:

I NEED YOUR HELP TO MOVE 450 MILLION USD OUT OF THE COUNTRY. I JUST NEED YOUR BANK ACCOUNT NUMBER AND A SMALL DEPOSIT OF 10,000 USD FOR LEGAL ASSISTANCE. YOU WILL RECEIVE A THIRD OF THE MONEY UPON SUCCESSFUL TRANSFER INTO YOUR ACCOUNT.

I should be getting my 150 mil any time now.
