During her trial, Hill claimed she is still forced to live under the pernicious economic hierarchy imposed by the slave trade.

Wow! liberals never cease to amaze me.

Income Taxes are slavery.

I was just going to say that. Taxes represent a degree of servitude to the state.

If liberals settled up with the tax man, maybe there wouldn’t be a deficit. The Government might be in the black for a change. Is that racist?

How many people in this country would sign up for her kind of slavery?

I blame sunspots and accordions. And fish breath.

During her trial, Hill was ordered by the judge in Newark, New Jersey to undergo counselling because of her conspiracy theories - including that artists are being oppressed by a plot involving the military and media.

Why does she think that the conspiracy is only targeted at artists?

Wait.

Three months in jail for not paying $500,000 in federal income taxes?? You mean I can stop paying my taxes and then win three months of rent-free living with 3 squares a day?

How STUPID of me for paying my taxes!

Well I highly doubt she is sober. She was best friends with dead crackhead Whitney Houston and quite a few times Hill has seemed to be under the influence of that stuff. To be quite honest, I think that whole extended family of hers is on it, even Whitneys aunt Dionne Warwick. Dionne is $10 million bucks in debt. How the hell you get into $10 million in debt? The woman has had umpteen hit songs.

I’ve taken a new tact when Lefties bring up slavery, as if its a current issue.

I ask them how the historical practice of slavery has prevented slavs from achieving anything, or why Muslims shouldn’t be paying reparations to Europe for having taken so many slaves during their wars of conquest.

It isn’t long before they are arguing against historical claims.

This individual, an obvious LIB moonbat, probably was effected by “climate change” or, worse yet, globull-warming. It is obvious that she has an ozone hole in her cranium.

I find it annoying that the takers don't have to spend 1/3 of their daytime hours working "for the public good".

(They instead spend their time working against the public good.)

It’s important to note that she’d already paid almost $1M in back taxes. They apparently gave her an ultimatum to pay up the rest in a short time, and she couldn’t come up with the remainder.

“Hill pleaded guilty to charges of tax evasion last year. Her lawyers said she had paid more than $970,000 of an outstanding tax bill which amounted to more than $2m.”

Translation...she was charged with a felony, tax evasion. The government was able to prove beyond doubt she owed over 2 million. That does NOT include things they could not prove beyond doubt, the actual criminal evasion may have been more. Whoop de do, she paid about half of that...where is the rest??? 3 months in jail, WOW.

Funny, my guess is she’s been a BIG Obama supporter who shares Obama’s vision for a big, all-powerful government.
