Speaking of taxes, Wesley Snipes was acquitted of the most serious of charges that he was facing, but convicted on three misdemeanor charges for failing to file a tax return. It seems as if around the same time as meeting his Co-D Eddie Ray Khan, Wesley thought it was against his basic human rights to pay taxes and just chilled on cutting checks to Uncle Sam. His co-defendants on the other hand were convicted.
Snipes still has to pay like $12 million in back taxes, that's a small thing compared to that 16 long he was facing if convicted. If you think of it, it was kinda Revolutionary of Wesley to take a stand against taxes, this was his form of protest. Not quite sure I would've lied about my income when its basically public knowledge when a actor signs on to a film. He got $10 million for the 'Blade" sequels and claimed he made something like $40,000, like that Nigga works in the office next to mine.
Anyway, he beat the system (somewhat) and now we can get a few more direct-to-DVD films out of him. Well, I'm off to call my Uncle to see if I can file some taxes for the first time in three years, wonder if Uncle Sam will come after me?
