- whoreable, on 04/18/2008, -0/+4On a side note Trucker hats are lame.
- 808kick, on 04/18/2008, -0/+3who?
- jstack, on 04/18/2008, -1/+4You have to be pretty thick to take that literally.
- Derter, on 04/18/2008, -0/+26. Wesley Snipes. There wasn't a list of this kind on front page days ago?
- joltjake, on 04/18/2008, -0/+2Yeah, only the IRS could catch the most notorious mobster of all time.
- Muncher, on 04/18/2008, -0/+2I know that. Like I said, it was a false accusation.
- BulletsforRingo, on 04/18/2008, -0/+1I'll read the article but I'll be damned if I digg another MrBabyMan submission again.
- jwolcott, on 04/18/2008, -0/+1No Crocodile Dundee?
- Nothlit, on 04/18/2008, -0/+1Tax Day Week?
Is that anything like Earth Hour Day? - plainOldFool, on 04/18/2008, -1/+2Cereally. I was expecting him to be #1 and yet no where to be found. I guess after the Blade Trilogy it's kind of easy to forget he even existed.
- shutter54, on 04/18/2008, -0/+1Article buried for inaccuracy. Title reads "Dudes", but they include Hatch.
- Anomaly100, on 05/16/2008, -0/+1Yeah, I was wondering about Al Capone and of course, Wesley Snipes. They should have topped the list, but, I have to admit that I love seeing the pathetic GGW guy get a little of what he dishes out. He must have thought that the IRS would never think of his oh so clever hiding places for money/sarcasm. What a genius.
- ep53, on 04/18/2008, -0/+1You logged out?
- noclss2000, on 04/18/2008, -0/+1al capone should have been at the top of the list, not some douche from ggw that keeps sending DVDs after you cancel ;)
Al Capone pretty much had the country around his finger, and there was nothing the cops could do about it, until he made a boo boo with his taxes. - ptron, on 04/18/2008, -0/+1Glad to see the rich pay their fair share, 2.5mil in back taxes on 15.5mil, Marc Antony. What's that, 16%.
- mlvassallo, on 04/18/2008, -1/+2Mk. 12:13-17/Mt. 22:15-22/Lk. 20:20-26: "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's." Jesus' reply when asked about unfair taxation.
- inactive, on 04/18/2008, -1/+2Are you leaving comment on digg to a community of people who just read it and do nothing about it? Why?
1. The government has us by the balls and there is nothing we are going to be able to do about it. Thus thee united states of theeis america fkd us on thine taxes - shutter54, on 04/18/2008, -0/+1Likely in about 3 minutes. I think he passed gas and people here need to Digg it.
- emalen, on 04/18/2008, -0/+1List is stupid, only good bit: "he was fined 450 pounds in 2006 for getting his filings in late. With the current dollar to pound exchange rate, that’s almost 100 billion American dollars, I think…"
- Clumber, on 04/18/2008, -0/+1blah blah blah... yeah yeah, and the contrails from jets are controlling the weather, JFK & Elvis together are in charge of the Stonecutters who are in charge of all the Pez candies in the world, thus uber-controlling the price of tea in China....
I know. There, there. Some things, you know, they just suck. Taxes are one of them. *shrug* - Clumber, on 04/18/2008, -0/+1Can we answer "both" ??
- inactive, on 04/18/2008, -0/+0Am I just a pervert? Or does that sound really really dirty?
- globalthreat, on 04/18/2008, -5/+5Willie Nelson is the man!
- shutter54, on 04/18/2008, -2/+2Your post exceeds the 4 sentence limit on getting to a point. Can you paraphrase what the heck you are trying to say?
- besound, on 04/18/2008, -0/+0Pete Rose....Leona Helmsley...Darryl Strawberry...
- abhinavkumar, on 04/18/2008, -2/+2How could you bury that comment, it made me laugh so hard when i read it. Business Expenses indeed.
- i1chocolat, on 04/19/2008, -0/+0The list didn't include al-Capone, though, which is a shame.
Because Marc Anthony is nothing compared to al-Capone.
Making crappy music is worth to be in the list ?
Owh c'mon! - awesometastic1, on 04/18/2008, -2/+2steve jobs is currently defending himself for tax fraud. he has the famous $1 salary but Apple gives him gifts all the time, so he only gets taxed at 15% instead of 35% and still gets paid well. The specific tax fraud he is currently involved in is that one of the "gifts" apple gave him was 20 million dollars worth of stock options, however they gave it to him at $4 under the going rate which is very illegal.
- gkiltz, on 04/18/2008, -0/+0In all five cases, it came down to making a poor choice of accountants!
- chaos7, on 04/18/2008, -1/+1richard hatch got over 4 years in prison. usa "justice" system is idiotic.
- eatattheafter, on 04/18/2008, -5/+5Haha, 50 grand in trucker hats and KY jelly.
- logicet, on 04/18/2008, -6/+6Are you a foreign citizen earning wages in the United States?
Are you a Corporation?
If you answered no to these questions:
Did you pay a direct tax on your wages? Why?
Constitutional Issues of Taxation
http://www.originalintent.org/edu/consttax.php
At that link you will learn:
1. The US Constitution grants the federal government the authority to lay only two classes of taxation - direct and indirect.
2. Direct and indirect taxes are subject to Constitutional regulations concerning their mode of operation.
3. Direct taxes are subject to apportionment - even after the 16th Amendment.
4. Indirect taxes are subject to the rule of uniformity.
5. No direct tax on private earnings exists in this country - the disagreement of the federal courts notwithstanding.
6. The federal judicial circuits are split as to whether the 16th Amendment merely confirmed the government's excise taxing power concerning shareholder profits from corporate investment, or whether the Amendment created a new "special" form of direct tax that does not require apportionment.
7. In the Brushaber case, the US Supreme Court stated that any tax act under the authority of the 16th Amendment must properly be considered an excise, and is thus not subject to apportionment.
8. The definition of income used in the Corporate Tax Act of 1909 must be used in the income tax acts of Congress (passed under the authority of the 16th Amendment).
9. The definition of income used in the Corporate Tax Act of 1909 is the same definition that must be used when interpreting the 16th Amendment.
10. The 16th Amendment only pertains to "income" in the form of dividends, patronage dividends, and interest from corporate investment.
11. The 16th Amendment tax is upon the privilege (to shareholders) of operating a business as an artificial entity.
12. The 16th Amendment tax is not upon "income"; the income is only the yardstick used to determine the value of the privilege, and hence the amount of tax to be paid.
13. If you have no 16th Amendment income, you have no liability for a tax imposed under the authority of the 16th Amendment.
14. Other legitimate types of federal and state taxation do exist beyond the tax imposed under the authority of the 16th Amendment. They are all excise taxes.
15. Capital investment funds, even when invested in a corporation, are not subject to taxation except by a direct tax subject to apportionment.
16. A tax on your private earnings still needs to be apportioned to be constitutional.
17. If you wish to conduct only your private affairs, do not trespass into areas that give rise to the presumption of federal or state authority for taxation and/or regulatory authority.
18. In most statutes, "business" means the activities of a legislatively created entity such as a corporation, partnership, statutory trust, etc., and does not embrace the your private affairs, which includes your livelihood.
19. Giving out a SSN or TIN (when lawfully required) creates a powerful presumption of federal and state taxing authority over your earnings.
20. Signing any federal or state tax forms (including a Form W-4, creates a powerful presumption of federal and state taxing authority over your earnings.
21. The Gross Income argument is legally accurate, but is not intended to take the place, and does not take the place, of a constitutional argument.
22. If you choose to engage in an excise taxable activity, you must pay the tax.
23. If you choose to engage in an excise taxable activity, you are expected (by the government as well as your fellow citizens) to practice voluntary compliance.
24. An indirect tax can be effectively converted into a direct tax by improper enforcement by the Executive Branch. In that event, the US Supreme Court has said that it is its duty to declare the former excise tax to be a direct tax absent apportionment, and thus unconstitutional. - Muncher, on 04/18/2008, -2/+2What about Jesus? (see Luke 23:2)
OK, so it was a false accusation, but still. - coadyj, on 04/18/2008, -1/+0Gordon Ramsey "he was fined 450 pounds" thats $1000 not a billion
