There are two things in life that you do not mess with…GOD and the IRS. Woooooooow!

Wesley Snipes probably is not going to do a day in prison, them bastards want they money and he paid them at the sentencing, Snipes’ lawyers will appeal and he’ll get off with probation, he not finna do years for some misdemeanor bullshit…….at the end of the day it’s all about money, they got it so they are straight……….What surprise me is all the big time media attention it’s getting….I’m pretty sure Donald Trump have done a lot worse…..

What an idiot. Everyone else out here has to pay them, what the hell makes him so special. Damn right they should have given him the max. That’s alot of money right there. Our economy has gone to hell, we can use that money

whatever the IRS handbook says

if my AMERICAN GANGSTER/GREAT DEBATORS/INSIDE MA/ MAN OF FIRE/ DEJAVUE/TRAINING DAY ACADEMY AWARD WNNING Denzel Washington can pay his taxes…

then ur DISAPPEARING ACTS/ BLADE/ NEW JACK CITY ass sure can.

kmt, ur not that great.

errrrrrrrr… i don’t wish prison on anyone, but ur an idiot..

my sister lives in Queens with her 5 year old son, living in one bedroom apartment, working in Bronx BBQ and she fucking pays her taxes so you can too, idiot.

no sympathy over here!

Ya’ll need to shut your ignorant asses up with that white/black bull crap. Your dumb ass is required to pay taxes as well, you should be mad at him not paying them. People like ya’ll is what keeps racism going.

What reason does he have to not pay his taxes??

Smh, he should’ve know the IRS is no joke when they sent Ronald Isley old ass to jail

Here is a summary of why Snipes was wrong:
http://resipsablog.com

I don’t feel sorry for Snipes…this is the same bruh that called all black women golddiggers and then turned around and bought his asian girlfriend a restaurant…like her ass would have been sucky sucky if he hadn’t.
He better learn how to sleep standing up and never drop the soap.

I bet a Black Wife would have remind him to pay the tax!

AHAHAHAHHAHAHHAA @ 84

“I bet a Black Wife would have remind him to pay the tax!”

DAM SKIPPY!

People kill me with this “IRS Handbook” nonsense, lmao. This system doesn’t have to explicitly tell it’s citizens what it wants from them in their own codified law because the judicial system is in cahoots with the legislators. You’re a buffoon if you think that the white man is not going to get his money if he wants to get his money from you. The Sean Bell cops were acquitted.

Damn, the Judicial System moves damn swift, I tell ya!!
Do I think he should have paid his taxes? Yes, don’t try to con the gov’t bc they will come back for their dues, and the “justice” that comes along with it! Not getting off subject, but that’s what I told my people about receive that “Katrina Money” (FEMA funds) the wrong way. Do I think many of us deserved it? Yes, but many of us (generalizing, here) didn’t. Those of you that didn’t lose a godd#@n thing! No water, wind damage, nothing was wrong with ya shit, that’s cold. And yet you collected. Took the money like a dirty dog and made it bad for those of us who lost not only material things, but FAMILY. But anyways, damn near 3 years, and people still jivin’

But, Wesley couldn’t afford an accountant? what’s really good? They know how to catch the out-of-work black actors, huh? Cause I know Matthew Mac, Rob DeNeiro, and all them prob owe some shit to and they just haven’t been caught. But, three years is a bit much. But for 10 years or so of non-payment, come on. I guess ya gotta pay the Pied Piper some day.

Hey, speaking of Tax Evasion, does anyone have an update on Ronald Isley?

why does every time i try and do a poll, it tells me that i have already answered??? wtf….

Damn Wesley!!!! You are my dude too! The judicial system aint playing at all no more with celebrities. I’m sorry to hear that Wesley, keep ya head up and i hope lessoned learned. You see they got Ronald Isley, Red Foxx on their taxes, you can mess with Uncle Sam.

PHILLYJAWN is right! Nowhere does it state that we HAVE to pay taxes, its UNCONSTITIONAL…Its obvious that the majority of these people don’t know shit when it comes to issues like this so thats why they keep fucking you! Maybe you guys should look up Sherry Peel Jackson, a black former IRS agent who failed to file her taxes because it was unconstitutional was sentenced to prison on some bullshit! I doubt Wesley is being an idiot, hes trying to buck the system..Maybe the uneducated should log off concreteloop and read up on your rights and fight back as well!

I agree Philly Jawn! The gov’t fleece’s the American people with the evasive tax law, and Wesley should have known better. Also, no one has ever won against the gov’t regarding not paying taxes.

That’s some real BS. How much time did Martha do for inside trading? Paris & Nicole? ANd this just in today, cops shot an innocent man 50 times, but all were acquitted on all charges, ad fround not guilty, but Wesley does three yrs for not paying taxes….some real BS I tell you…

Damn it’s messed up that kick ass Sidney “Syd” Deane aka Nino Brown aka Romello Skugs aka Detective Harlan Regins is gonna be playing the role of Noxeema Jackson for 3 straight years!! I know he was wrong for that, but damn he don’t deserve all of that!! They should have made Wes pay the $5 mill & given him probation. I wonder what’s gonna happen to his new movie “GallowWalker”?

It is some bs…T.I, a convicted felon, gets 1 year community service…WESLEY SNIPES get3 years for 3 counts of tax evasion..doesnt seem right!

Even if you don’t like Wesley Snipe, 3 years in jail for not filing taxes is extreme. The people who were doing his taxes misled him. Put this is context, people get more time for taxes than child abuse. Silly

# 75 PHILLYJAWN SAID:

“there’s no law that says income tax is mandatory, not even in the constitution.”

You are ABOLOUTLY correct! I URGE all of those who do not believe to do your research; please read the constitution and you will surprise. I discovered this years ago. Unfortunately many people are not aware of it.

Most people who are brought up on the same charges are eventually dropped. Maybe these are more to the charges than they are telling the public. I suggest Snipes get a better lawyer.

Typo correction: ABSOLUTELY (sorry)

DAMN SNIPES!!

You people don’t do any type of corroboration when it comes to stories you hear. Straight KNEE JERKin fo life!

Taxes are essentially bullshit and the entire process needs to be overhauled. You pay taxes on everything you buy. And THEN they require you to pay them more at the end of the year. Remember Taxation without representation? This is the same thing those plymouth rock fukkers LEFT ENGLAND FOR!!!!!!!

If more people would say no to this tax, the system would be forced to change.

The Government ALWAYS makes EXAMPLES of black males. Keeps us in line. Blacks are 10-15% of the population, an even smaller percentage in Hollywood, yet make up quite a bit of the entertainment world’s criminal proceedings news. When the last time a prominent white actor has been brought up on anything more than disorderly person’s charges?

[...] News: Wesley Snipes Gets 3 Years [...]

@Jscene that was truly a very ignorant comment. why do you spew some much hate for him like that. he have dated black women. i.e. halle berry. in fact he is the one accused of making go half deaf in one ear. real talk. black women always want to get all hurt when a man dates someone who isn’t black, but when y’all do it, it’s like: ” You go girl! these brothas don’t know how to act anyway!” wesley should’ve paid his taxes. he put himself this situation and now he half to face the consequences. I feel so sorry for his wife and children.

The thing that bugs me is why is someone like Willie Nelson allowed to get away with the same thing. He paid back 16 Million by selling his own music…Not shocked. This is not about Wesley and his dating life. It’s about that he gets three years for something like this when others like Nelson get away with it.

Bottom line. If we have to pay, he has to pay. It’s just that simple.

his wife is asian so what’s so up with all the white lovin comments? Y’ALL ARE A BUNCH OF BIGOTS!

Wesley got caught up with one of those tax protesters. There are enough to legally minimize the amount of tax one pays, without trying to keep it all. He busted Halle’s eardrum anyway, so I have no sympathy for him.

WHATEVER ANYONE SAYS… EVERYDAY PEOPLE PAY TAXES, DENZEL WASHINGTON, FORREST WHITAKER ALL PAY THEIR TAXES, SO UNFORTUNATELY MR SNIPES, PAY UR SHIT TOO…

U KNOW WHAT TOO? IT WAS SOME BULLSHIT, CORRECT ME IF I’M WRONG, LIKE HE OWED $20,000 AND HE DIDN’T PAY?

KMT

DON’T DROP THE SOAP!

WOW he shoulda snitched on someone like T.I. !!!!@!!!!

The judge says federal time is clear…meanwhile T.I. got caught with machine guns/silencers and is a convicted felon with various violent priors but got off with only a year! LOL unbelievable. If that isn’t the biggest snitch, than I don’t know what!

And Wesley shoulda claimed his Moorish sovereignty and gotten out of this mess. sov

WESTLY, damn dog you know that happens when a nigga decieves the MAN, you either get since to prison or well sent to prison!! ALL I CAN SAY IS WATCH YA ASS HOLE…damn west…prepare for stiches….sorry for the vulgarness kids!!!

WILLIE NELSON owed the IRS 16 million in unpaid taxes. However, he was never indicted or served one day in prison. He eventually settled with the IRS by paying his back taxes. Kinda makes you wonder why the IRS couldn’t offer the same deal to Wesley Snipes. “Good ole boys” looking out for “good ole boys!”

I agree we love to make EXCUSES!!

Does the IRS go after white people??????

oh i forgot to add his children are adorable!!!!!!

3 years is extreme! Any jail time for this non-violent crime is ridic

I THINK THREE YEARS IS A LITTLE EXCESSIVE. WHATS UP WITH
RONALD ISLEY? HIS ASS DIDN’T DO THE TIME FOR HIS TAX ISSUES
AND WHILE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE UNJUST SYSTEM IN AMERICA
WHEN IS R-KELLY GOING TO DO THE TIME FOR HIS DAMN CRIME? I’M SICK
OF THIS SHIT!!!

Ramses,

X to the actly.

If he had been married to an american sistah who understands what the black man CAN and CANNOT get away with, this NEVER would have happened.

Not only do black men of wealth hurt their communities by taking strange bedfellows outside the race, but as evidenced they also end up with spouses who have not lived the black life, the american life, and set themselves up for children who don’t look like them, and hurt themselves in the process.

That’s why I have SO MUCH respect for the men of rap who marry their own women and father BLACK children. They are the real heroes in the community.

florida prisons are the worst, nastiest, most hiv ridden prisons in the country. he’s screwed. when he gets out that asian chick will be gone bye bye with his money.

that fool let that asian woman advise him not to pay taxes. he knows better.

@andy don’t take this personal but that had to be the dumbest thing i ever heard.(I kinda won’t blame you if get mad but it’s the truth). Him marrying a sistah or a asian woman wouldn’t have matter because Wesley does what Wesley want to do and no woman is going to tell him how to do anything, You see what happened to Halle, deaf in one ear. If the community is hurting because he married and have children with an asian woman than that’s really sad and pathetic. Why are they so caught up in he’s doing when they need to be worrying about themselves. He ain’t hurting me because this fool ain’t putting money in my pocket, neither was he putting any money in Uncle Sam’s pocket that why he is to prison now. LOLOLOL!!!
I applaud a black man(also any man of any race) who is not only claiming but also taking care of his kids wheter they are mix or not: physical, mentally, finicially,(ETC). When i think about it, he didn’t date out side his race, we are all part of the human race. WE (meaning all the”RACES”) put emphasis on color.

A couple of things. The IRS wants its money. They’ll let you set up a payment plan. They can garnish your wages. You can hire an attorney for you who might be able to settle for less money than you actually owed. The Feds don’t really want to put you in jail, because then THEY HAVE TO PAY FOR YOU. Someone brought up Willie Nelson. Okay, he paid. Wes has obviously flat out refused to pay the government back taxes.

And please stop all this comparing one crime to the other. Unless its tax evasion to tax evasion, comparisons are just misleading. Seriously. Maybe people should be starting grass roots organizations to look at the sentencing guidelines instead of making ridiculous connections between unrelated crimes and cases.

Attorneys aren’t not prosecuting murderers and child molesters because a tax evader is in court. FYI: Lawyers who try tax cases are NOT the ones who work murders. because of the complexity of our tax code, tax attorneys are a class all by themselves.

Wesley could have petitioned for downward departure from the sentencing guidelines had he cooperated with the feds. He didn’t. He got the max. Stop crying. He wasn’t thinking about his family when he did this dumb mess.

Like #65 said there are lots of ways to keep your money ie. charitable donations or starting a foundation that will lower your taxable income. While I think Bill and Melinda Gates may be really concerned about AIDS in Africa, I think they also might have set up their foundation to get rid of some money. Money that they would otherwise have to pay taxes on. I think the work involved would be worth avoiding being made an example in court.

And I understand all this moorish stuff. I get it. You can refuse to pay taxes. But the government can choose to put your ass in jail. Simple as that.

A sistah would have made sure he got his taxes taken care of.

That’s what he get!!!! and FYI it was DAVID JUSTICE who beat the hell out of Halle not Wesley.

Isnt that something…people are shooting up the place, cops are killing innocent people, people are selling drugs in large amounts..and the majority of them get off, or dont even see a trial…BUT YOU EFF WITH THE GOVERNMENT, DONT PAY UR TAXES N ISH, AND YOU GET THREE YEARS. lol

Goes to show you where your governments priorities lie.

@123 You are absolutely wrong! She said so herself that it was a famous actor who beat the crap out of her but she said that she’ll never reveal his name (Wesley Snipes who is by the way a second degree black belt in Martial Arts).Don’t know where you getting your facts from sweetie.

If I have to pay taxes, everyone should pay taxes!

I think it is extremely sad. Why is that some Black celebs perceive that they suddenly become transparent and exist in a colourless world. Wesley Snipes did not deserve to be sentenced to three years - surely it would have been enough to make him pay the fine and do community service. But what amazes me is that they never seem to get themselves decent legal representation (except for OJ) - when one thinks about all the corporate crime taking place in Wall Street you never hear of these types of sentences. You would think he had been a manager at Enron!

I must say it was interesting to see that when difficult times hit Snipes he seemed cloaked in “Blackness” he found a Black preacher and all the Black friends he could muster (remember at NAACP Michael Jackson). Despite his love of the Asian woman I never see the wife’s family (extended ones too) showing their support - the only colour I see is usually Black. But that’s his problem. Just think back over the last few years to the types of Black people in the public eye who are arrested at the drop of a hat - when their white counterpart is cautioned, imprisioned when whites are given community service etc…Naomi Campbell, Diana Ross, Snoop Dawg etc.

I think it is very sad and I wonder if the likes of those Puff Daddy, ignorant rappers and worthless celebs look upon the judicial system and realise that they might think they have hit the mega heights but the White man sitting at the bar probably sees an enslaved African on the auction block.

It was wrong…you guys should watch the movie ZIETGEIST!!!! Then you will know the truth…
