Movie Stars Can't Save Wesley Snipes From Prison

Back to blog

too bad that,

i have to take the side of law. i believe in law as well as rules. however, i do object to the maximum sentence applied. i say, Wesley Snipes should pay the taxes and go back to work; i like his movies.

Hi. You've achieved success in your field when you don't know whether what you're doing is work or play.

I am from Croatia and learning to write in English, give true I wrote the following sentence: "Compare airfares with sidestep, the traveler search engine, and check out special flight offers for the best deals on airfare."

Thanks for the help :D, Tanesia.

Wesley snipes.

Wesley snipes was trying to avoid taxes thats a fact, if ordinary people actively try to avoid taxes they go to gaol so I think he deserves to be punished but will he serve hard time or soft time?, some years back here in the UK we had a famous and very rich jockey called Lester Piggot who was sentenced to I think the same three years for the same offence I think he only served about eighteen months but the time he served was soft time, he was given spacious accommodation with proper furniture a telephone all mod cons and he didn't have to eat prison food, that was brought in from outside or he could cook his own, real jusice it seems does not apply to the rich the famous or the priviliged here in the UK, we will have to wait and see what happens in the US.

Snipes is doing what every American should be doing

No American Citizen is required to pay income tax. The tax code says compliance is voluntary.

The US Constitution defines how the government is allowed to govern us, the people of this nation. The federal income tax is NOT ALLOWED by the constitution. The ability of the IRS to enforce it is a violation of the 16th amendment.

Requiring citizens to file a 1040 (your tax return) is a violation of the 5th amendment, which states, "No person [...] shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself". Thus, requiring US citizens to file a 1040 is a violation of their 5th amendment right!!!

Wake up you idiots! Wesley is trying to show you how to stand up for yourselves against government authoritarian oppression! NONE of the money reaped from the income tax is used to pay for transportation systems, military, or education! NONE OF IT!!!

Stop being so f@$%*g stupid! LEARN YOUR RIGHTS, OR THE GOVERNMENT WILL TAKE THEM AWAY FROM YOU, AS HITLER DID TO THE JEWS. YOU DON'T THINK IT CAN HAPPEN HERE? IF SO, THEN YOU ARE A MORON. It is already happening. The bankers are controlling the media to make them avoid the civil liberties aspect of this case, and instead claim that Snipe's arguments are "weird". This is not journalism.

take the red pill:
