A DEFIANT Paul Hogan had a typically plain-spoken and blunt message for the Australian Taxation Office yesterday: "Come and get me, you miserable bastards."
As the ATO enlisted the help of the Internal Revenue Service in the US to pursue the actor for allegedly undisclosed tax liabilities, a bemused Hogan insisted he had paid more than enough tax - a figure he estimated to be in excess of $100million - in Australia.

More power to him. All governments, including the US, take way to much money in taxes. If I never pay another cent in taxes it will be to damn much.

Is the IRS really allowed to act on behalf of foreign governments? Don't know, but they share a common bond and sympathize with each other's causes.

This is why America has been so successful the past 50 years, lower taxes means more jobs and more foreign investments. If Obama wins we will just become another 2nd rate nation like Canada or England.

Would be nice if we ALL could stand up and do the same thing wouldn’t it? We DO pay too much in taxes and it needs to be changed.

If I recall, the real Crocodile Dundee died in a hail of gunfire when he took a stand for his property rights over the Australian government’s demands.

and they will soon or later, one way or another. Never mess with, and especially never taunt, the tax man.

According to Wikipedia; Rodney William Ansell was the inspiration for Paul Hogan's character in the 1986 movie Crocodile Dundee.
He was killed on August 4, 1999 in a shootout with police, just south of Darwin. Ansell was fired upon after killing Sgt. Glen Huitson who had come to confiscate Ansell's gun collection, and, since search warrants are no longer required to enter someone's home in Australia, Ansell attempted to defend himself.
