Can't help but think of the IRS when I see this.


Snipes did prison time for tax evasion.

Don't know the details, but it involved this movie.

Yea he was a producer and basically made it.

I was heavily surprised he didnt shine them and was even more surprised he served it both by the courts and him.

I forsure thought he would've fleed it.

I think despite his powers and intel he should've ducked them and just made lived elsewhere and made movies elsewhere. Instead he rotted away for 3 years. 3 years of a mega movie stars career and I cant help and think this had a lot to do with because he was a black man and because he was smart enough not to be influenced by the status quo.

Bill Cosby made it and paid his taxes....oh wait, bad example.

Will Smith seems to pay his taxes.

paying taxes is lame.

His reasoning behind it was that he didn't choose this government nor does he really have a say and they spend his money however they want.

Some people pay few taxes others have a pyramid of ways to squeeze every last cent and pay the fewest possible.
Trump is a master of actually stealing it so much he is actually below zero by a ton but they still continue to pay him while he continues to rip off and screw everyone.
