Movie Stars Can't Save Wesley Snipes From Prison

Snipes

Everyone working adult in this country knows that you have to pay an income tax. Snipes is about to pay the price of only believing whatever he wants to hear, and not taking the responsibility to check up on his accountant. He is responsible for his decisions and problems. Pay up like a man.

The crime doesn't deserve this type of sentence

Wesley did not harm another human being, and I think the sentence is unjustified. Paris Hilton was driving on a suspended license, and was drunk and could have killed human beings, and look at the light sentence she received.

Wesley could do a huge amount of good for our community OUT of prison. No one, whether celebrity or not should receive this type of sentence for this type of crime, but especially not a person who can be a role model to others, even to the point to admit he made huge incorrect decisions about his finances.

A wise judge can give a sentence that will teach Wesley his responsibility for his own life, and use him to teach and improve the lives of other people.

People are so shallow and believe everything that they read. You dont think that his tyax person might have gotten over on him, and set him up?

Things like this happen. He could have thought that he was paying taxes, and had been fooled for 3 years!

Snipes sniped

Generally speaking, there is widely accepted authority by the IRS over taxpayers. I have done some research that indicates that the IRS may actually not have all the legal authority commonly accepted. I would prefer to think of Snipes as a person of integrity and honesty, who has made a sacrifice based on his principles and profund viewpoints.

Hopefully, Snipes' plight will shed additional media attention on whether the IRS really has done the legally true thing; and I anticipate that in time Snipes will be exonerated.

Logically, if an organization such as the IRS really had the authority it purports to have, than why would this same organization have to so frequently resort to fear and intimidation, in order to carry out its mission?

LMAO

This is so funny! Of all people to defend Wes of no jail time, the judges get me the most!! Because he's famous, or a friend, jail time isnt needed??? HA I think putting his law breaking butt in jail might make others think twice about how serious it is! and if he cant get away with it, then who can! He broke the law, and it wsnt an accident! He got what he deserved!

So they are going to give him 3 years in prison for not filing tax returns that hurts no one but himself in the long run??? However, they give the drunk boater who killed an off duty police officer and his family, then flead the scene only 3.5 years??? WTF???
