Thumbs down Politicians,celebrities,and elite in general seem...

to be able to get by with anything that would land us in jail.
Wesley Snipes has not payed taxes for years,owes milliones,but has been acquited of income tax fraud and is being charged only with the misdemeaner of failure to file income tax forms.
Don't ya just love it?

Seemingly another perk for them but I would not the world to know about my tax business or anything else really.. maybe a small trade-off.

Why not!! If Ted Kennedy and OJ get away with murder, why shouldn't Snipes get away with tax evation. What upsets me too is that they hung Willey Nelson out to dry for the same thing and not Wesley.

Heck, just look at the things Clinton did while President. If any of us had lied under oath we would still be doing time for perjury.Not to mention some of the other things he did that were both indictable and impeachable.

Windwalker, I'm with you on that statement, but I'm trying not to get carried away. Some folks just seem to be able to do anything at all, and get away with it. Ted Kennedy comes to mind, driving off a bridge while drunk, drowning the secretary he was having an affair with. Then call in 12 hours later, and say it was an accident! If it had a been me, I'd still be in jail.

Thumbs down

Speaking of that,did you ever hear of a celebraty do time for possession?
Nope,they bust them a few times and when the media cries about how hard they have it they go off to some fancy dude ranch or swanky club to "dry out."
Then the stories,books etc. come out about how hard their life was and how fame and fortune drove them to the breaking point!

Not really. you can walk into any court in the country and hear bigger lies than Clinton told, before the first potty break. My wife's ex used to drag us into court every year or two, and it was almost breathtaking to sit and listen to some of the whoppers people told, and stuck with even after being shot down by documents in black and white.

Celebs are to the modern era what nobility was back in ye olden times. Privileged, envied by the 'lower classes' and can expect special treatment in any situation because people are told to adore them.

It's the golden rule, "He who has the gold makes the rules."

And people winder why I'm cynical about the notion that the judicial system has any value anymore.

Oh, here's another depressing one:

Talking

The biggest difference between Kennedy and Clinton is that Monica is still alive.
