Above the Law (or at least the tax code)

Recommended Posts

This is cute: Wesley Snipes' "creative" tax return from 2001. He employed a tax-frauding hotshot named Douglas Rosile, who's being prosecuted for it right now. (Freedom of information is a beautiful thing, ne?)

That way if you've got a million dollars worth of stuff you'll have to give all the money you make away so you don't go over the 1 mill cap. Imagine if all the mney in the world kept circulating instead of collecting in teh pockets of the super-rich...
