I remember many, many years ago first hearing about this "Did you know that you don't have to pay income taxes if you just do ..." thing, way before "being completely disconnected from reality" was an acceptable political position.

"Huh," I thought, "I should look into that, see what that's about."

Fifteen minutes later: "Oh, it's just looney bullshit."

It just amazes me that Wesley Snipes even tried to use this to avoid paying taxes.

He should be rich enough to hire an accountant who knows how to avoid paying taxes the proper way :/

He did from memory. It amazing how many celebrities fall for "snake oil" salesmen. Being rich doesn't make you smart.

He should have been rich enough to buy some INT+ potions in the cash shop :/

But then he'd have to pay the accountant

Hire another accountant to find a way to get out of paying the first accountant.

It's accountants all the way down!

Really? I thought it was just ‘whoops got caught fudging the dollar amounts’. That’s much worse.

It dates back a long time, and for some reason has ties to both white supremacy and Moorish black people. I guess any loony fringe groups will pick up stuff like this.
