I've always been afraid to not pay my taxes. Now that all the folks in charge have not been paying theirs, what the heck.

The government controls everyone through laws and fear. What happens when that doesn't work anymore??

Maybe, we should start reporting these obviously illegal tax evasions by rats to the IRS and to the following site.

http://www.rewardtax.com/

Former IRS Attorneys for Tax Whistleblower Rewards
Tax Whistleblower Reward Program
The United States of America Will Pay Huge Rewards to Anyone Who Exposes the Under reporting of Tax

THE PROBLEM: Billions of Dollars in Unpaid Taxes
In the United States of America, a small percentage of taxpayers (i.e., individuals, businesses, trusts, and estates) underreport and fail to pay up to $400 billion in taxes every year, according to a study released by the Internal Revenue Service. This small group is comprised of an elitist group of wealthy Americans and businesses who neglect or refuse to pay their fair share of tax and who undermine the stability of the country to satisfy their own personal greed. This missing revenue causes unnecessary increases in annual deficits, national debt, and national interest payments. In the end, this missing revenue must be made up by honest Americans through higher taxes.

Each year, the United States is forced to spend over $11 billion to finance IRS enforcement efforts aimed at catching individuals and corporations who underreport and fail to pay tax. However, the schemes, devices, and shelters used by these individuals and corporations to avoid the payment of tax have become so sophisticated that efforts by the IRS to detect them have failed. As a result, the annual amount of unreported and unpaid tax has steadily grown each year. Confronted with the devastating effect of the ongoing and systematic underreporting of tax by individuals and corporations, the United States is taking a new approach to enforcement efforts aimed at detecting the underreporting and nonpayment of tax.

THE SOLUTION: The American People
In recently enacted legislation (December 2006), Congress turned to the American people to expose taxpayers (i.e., individuals, businesses, estates, and trusts) who underreport and fail to pay tax. The United States has announced that it will reward any person who provides information that leads to the identification of $2 million or more of unreported tax, including interest and penalties. This new legislation guarantees that any person who provides information under this “Tax Whistleblower Reward Program” will receive a minimum of 15%, and a maximum of 30%, of the amount that the IRS actually collects. The new law, which provides a potential “windfall” to honest Americans who expose those who underreport and fail to pay tax, is known as the IRS Whistleblower Reward Program.

If you have information regarding a taxpayer (i.e., an individual, business, estate, or trust) that under reported or failed to pay tax, you will be rewarded by the United States for providing such information. Contact us NOW to start the process of identifying tax avoidance and obtaining your reward! Your confidentiality is guaranteed!

It means he performed (what passed for) comedy in 17 states and therefore owes taxes to the states in which he worked.

The only laugh Franken ever got was when he said he was running for the Senate. If he's ever seated, God help the Republic.

I'm still not convinced that Leona Helmsley wasn't a Dimocrat.

She fit the bill to a tee!

What the hell has happened to the common sense in our country in real time??

Franken then admitted that he owed more than $50,000 in back taxes to 17 states.

Oops!

That's all.../s

Frankenstein's CPA is familiar with doing taxes for entertainers who have gigs in a number of states. Big Al is pinning this on the accountant and it remains to be seen if the numbers man will take the blame in return for keeping Franken's business when he takes a seat in the Senate.

I believe Franken didn't tell the CPA to keep his mouth shut. I'll bet the CPA's attorney told him to keep his mouth shut.

IMO, the accountant will flip at some time and implicate the porn "comedian".

But nothing will happen to the cheat. The Senate ethics committee is dominated by other Dem cheats, ostriches and thugs.

It’s never a Democrat’s fault. As for the 17 states/657 states/500 million unemployed...it’s just the new way of dividing up congressional districts.
