George Bush destroyed Snipes' career because he was a tax protester


Snipes was convicted of three MISDEMEANOR counts of not filing a tax return and in 2008 got the maximum sentence of 3 years. Whoever heard of a guy doing 3 years for a misdemeanor.?

Exactly!

Then the banks can purposely screw you and get caught and NOTHING happens to the executives that did illegal things, nothing. sigh.

Bush did not ruin his career. The government doesn't care what you do, as long as you pay your taxes. Tax evasion is a crime. Just ask AL Capone.

The board notes your feeble attempt to change the subject. Now answer the question. Who else was convicted of a misdemeanor and got 3 years.?

Bush didn't make the tax laws. The president doesn't enforce the tax laws. Snipes was actually acquitted of trying to defraud the IRS of millions of dollars in refunds. Snipes didn't even report to prison until December of 2010 which means Obama never stepped in either.

The irony of how un-American it is for an American to prosper in America then try to claim they are not American to get out of paying taxes as an American is amazing.

I don't know who has served time for 3 misdemeanor tax evasion charges. I don't really care. Fact is, he fell for a line of crap saying the Govt. didn't have the authority to collect taxes. He also filed fraudulent returns. If he would have paid what he owed, he would not have been sent to jail. He tried hiding his money in a scam church account. He is the reason he went to jail, not President Bush.

Why are you blaming George Bush? you imbecile? The IRS is an agency that out lasts and outlives all Presidents. And the President doesn't tell the IRS what to do, unless YOU believe that Barack Obama himself ordered the IRS to target Conservative groups and deny them Tax Exempt status purely because of their political leanings or destroy subpoenaed emails and hard drives AFTER Congress demands that they are turned over, or the fact that NONE of their executives from Lerner to Koskinen have been punished or even reprimanded.

Ever notice that idiots blame a Republican president, every time a government agency does something they disagree with, but if a Democrat (cough Obama) is in office, they are given a pass. How much to bet that it jumps from blaming Bush, directly to blaming Trump, bypassing Obama completely.
