Re: "...I'm all for minimizing paying taxes wherever possible, but skipping out completely so he can buy another Ferrari is not heroic.
You apparently miss the point.
Show everyone here the law requiring Snipes or anyone else to pay Federal Income Tax to the IRS.
You can not do so, because none exists.
And that is the point.
Now that you are aware of this, I should also tell you that Marxism is the ideology which believes that those with wealth are inherently selfish and antisocial criminals who must be taxed until their assets are as low as those with the least.
Perhaps you should rethink your position.
It could be the case that your contempt for a rich, overpaid Hollywood schwartze who gets white women is temporarily taking precedence over the socio-political and economic system mandated by our Founding Fathers in the Constitution.
p.s.--And believe it or not, the work of Hollywood film actors is extremely difficult, extremely demanding, unstable, unhappy, and usually non-glamorous.

MassuhDGoodName?
?, you have been scammed! How could you honestly believe that there are no laws to compel people to pay taxes?
This is just so stupid that I have to explain this to you. but, just for fun, here are the laws:
Title 26 of the United States Code is the most important statutory provision with regard to income taxes is section one of the tax code, 26 U.S.C. § 1. This is the section that actually imposes the income tax. It’s very simply written.
26 U.S.C. § 1 There is hereby imposed on the taxable income of every individual . . . who is not a married individual a tax determined in accordance with:
[G]ross income means all income from whatever source derived, including (but not limited to) the following items:
(1) Compensation for services, including fees, commissions, fringe benefits, and similar items;
(2) Gross income derived from business;
(3) Gains derived from dealings in property;
(4) Interest;
(5) Rents;
(6) Royalties;
(7) Dividends;
. . .
Section 6151 of the code, 26 U.S.C. § 6151, says:
[W]hen a return of tax is required under this title or regulations, the person required to make such return shall, without assessment or notice and demand from the Secretary, pay such tax to the internal revenue officer with whom the return is filed, and shall pay such tax at the time and place fixed for filing the return (determined without regard to any extension of time for filing the return).
Theres much more, but its boring legal speak.
Geeh MassuhDGoodName, I better re-think my position, since you told me that I'm only against him not paying taxes because he is an overpaid Hollywood schwartze who gets white women. Youre right... thanks for showing me the truth!!!!
