The Mounties get their man as usual

Action movie star and big-time tax fraud Wesley Snipes started the longest and hardest three years of his life today. He is starting a sentence at a minimum-security federal prison in Lewis Run, Pennsylvania for not filing income tax returns (the camp has 300 other inmates, and features (among other things) double-feature movie showings during the weekends, but nothing rated higher than PG-13, which pretty much rules out Snipes' action-heavy repertoire). This is some good work on the IRS's part because what some Hollywood stars don't realise is that they still have to pay taxes, and this will be a good opportunity for Snipes to have a long, hard think about the importance of paying taxes. Taxes are what pays for schools, the military, hospitals, roads, the courts, the police, and unemployment benefits (also known as "the dole"), and if you don't pay your tax, then you're stealing from everyone that these taxes are used to pay - in fact, the only exception is money raised for a charitable cause and if the Government charge taxes on donations, then they're the ones stealing - they're stealing from the people that the donations are being used to benefit and no law they can pass ever makes said theft, or any theft for that matter, OK.
