I hear you bro.
I worked two full time jobs for a year and 4 months and I ended up owing taxes. I quit working the other job as soon as I filed and realized I owed $3000. It broke my heart.

They should do a sequel where he lands back in jail for back taxes and meets up with Michael Jai White and Van Damme and they have to fight the whole prison yard on some Enter The Dragon type sh*t.

Dang... that's an awesome that you guys do that. I have seen couple like this walking around the mall and they have a group of disabled people with them. That's messed up that you don't get to invest in an IRA. hell, for taking care of people you'd think they would fund your IRA for you.
We should start a non-profit organization warning people against working too much....

Talk about putting your wallet on the line. Two kids in sports is a dangerous game of jeopardy if your not insured.

I always said i wanted to invest in toilet paper .... I dont think we would start using our hands ...... lol ... Also what about opening a grocery store where it is just a hallway u walk through and b4 u walk through u get a badge and in the hallway is buttons with the items above the buttons so if u want 2 bags of onions u would click the button twice and the sensor would pick up the number of ur badge and so forth and so on and when u get to the end of the hallway u would pay and ur grocerys would be already for you just to walk out ..... its the future !!

OCALA, Florida (Reuters) - A "very sorry" Wesley Snipes, star of the "Blade" movies, was sentenced to three years in prison on Thursday for willfully failing to file U.S. income tax returns for 1999 through 2001.
Snipes was convicted in February on three misdemeanor counts. U.S. District Judge William Terrell Hodges handed down the maximum sentence and said he felt it was important to create a general deterrent against tax defiance.
"I am very sorry for my mistakes and errors," Snipes told the judge. "This will never happen again."
He read a prepared statement, describing himself as an "idealist, naive, passionate, truth-seeking, spiritual-seeking artist" who epitomized the expression "mo' money, mo' problems."
His lawyers tried to give the court three envelopes with checks totaling $5 million, but the judge and prosecutor said they could not accept the payments. An Internal Revenue Service agent collected the money during a recess.
The judge said prison officials would notify Snipes when to begin serving his sentence. Snipes said he would appeal the verdict but prosecutors vowed to oppose any request to allow him to remain free on bond while the appeal is pending.
Prosecutors said Snipes had earned more than $38 million since 1999 but still had not filed tax returns for the years 1999 through 2007 or paid any taxes prior to Thursday.
They accused Snipes of presenting himself as a victim and called the checks a "grandstanding move" that would turn out to be only a fraction of what he owes the IRS.
They said the notoriety of the case presented a "singular opportunity" to deter tax crimes nationwide.
Snipes was acquitted on two felony charges of filing false claims and fraud in seeking millions of dollars of refunds in other tax years.
The judge did not fine him but the IRS still could levy penalties and interest charges in addition to the taxes owed.
Snipes brought character references from actors Denzel Washington and Woody Harrelson. His lawyer, Linda Moreno, said Snipes had led "an otherwise exemplary life" and had hired reputable tax professionals to help him resolve his tax liability and make amends.
She said Snipes owed less than $400,000 in taxes for the three years related to the convictions and should not be jailed.
Moreno cited the cases of former Washington mayor Marion Barry and singer/actor Marc Anthony, who avoided prison after failing to file tax returns, and singer Willie Nelson, who remained free despite owing $17 million in back taxes.
Co-defendant Eddie Ray Kahn, a longtime tax protester who coached clients of his American Rights Litigators on how to beat the tax system, was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Co-Defendant Douglas Rosile, whom prosecutors called a "defrocked certified public accountant," was sentenced to 4-1/2 years for his part in the scheme. Both were convicted of conspiracy and tax fraud.
Prosecutors said Kahn and Rosile were "incorrigible tax offenders" whose anti-tax schemes caused "enormous damage to the administration of our tax system." They said at least nine other Kahn customers had been convicted of criminal tax violations and two had been indicted.
