Putting someone in jail for not filing taxes? WTF? What else do they put you in jail for in America? Spitting on the street? Maybe I'm an old softie here, but I would have expected the sentence to be taxes paid with interest and fines, not three years in the slam. A curiously harsh sentence for -- let's face it -- a fairly minor offence. Let’s step back from the whole celebrity thing for a second.

It's no wonder Snipes has been in Asia making movies to avoid Tax. Trouble is, I like the actor!

XD Nah I think everybody should be treated the same way. But I'm not from the US, so I don't know if it's normal to sentence someone to three years for that kind of crime... and I think Snipes should not be treated more harsh, just because all the other celebs weren't. “I was born ready, motherfucker!” XD
