How else are we going to continue to run the world, invade nations and impose democracy on the unwilling? Obviously someone has to pay for it.

Why would the government make it illegal, when they are making so much money off of it in taxes?

Richard is right. The money that you take out of each employee's check is supposed to be pd(usually quarterly) to the correct place (ex fed tax is sent to the IRS)

Actually the most likely thing is that the people took the ticket to a lawyer and a CPA. Most people with winning tickets do this. There is a LOT that needs to be done legally to secure the money, etc.

If you typically get a large refund from IRS because you have too much tax withheld from your paycheck, consider NOT lending the government your money interest free and use it yourself.

because most of them (if not all) are corrupt. they'd rather keep thier money somewhere else and most often under someone else's name to avoid detection by thier political enemies or rivals.

Because governments are evil and they all think they own everything. They'll say stuff like that they provide the street lights and bin collections so they have the "right" to take loads of money off you.

Rubadpi is absolutely right. My husband does not pay taxes. I told IRS and they don't care. I told the police, and they don't care. He hides 50, 60, $70,000 CASH in the house, his car, his office. \n\nBelieve me, keep it all in cash and no one will ever even ASK you to pay tax.

Everyone is responsible for their own return no matter who filled it out! If you know someone is cheating on their taxes it really becomes a morel issue more than a legal issue.

You have got that right. They IRS sent my 76 year old mother letters and threatened to take  everything she had because of something that the company that had her mutal funds didn`t do, if she did not pay the back taxes. It wasn`t her fault, as she thought they had taken out the taxes before they gave her the money to repair her garage. They had always kept the taxes out and this time they didn`t. She became very ill with high blood pressure before it was straightened out, and she now has anxiety attacks along with the high blood pressure.\n\nDid you know if they have now gone to private bill collecting agencies who will harrass you on the phone and send you threatening letters to collect? We were watching a program on TV about it last month, and the reporter was saying they were going to be doing this.

It is not NEARLY so simple as it appears to the outside world ---\nYour every move becomes a target for micro analysis\nyou have to deal with almost everything--thru someone else--\nYou can't even throw your trash out without having it torn into by lunatics looking for some small piece of you--or something they can analyze into some twisted story about you for print--When you DO go out into public places -- you are acosted by people (most, well meaning) that want all kinds of things from you---an autograph--a keepsake something -- a cell phone call to their friend or relative-- a reference----you name it (literally)----You become the paymaster for a HOST of personnel ---mostly dealing with SECURITY and MANAGEMENT---and all these people have to be cared for by someone else---the Christmas list alone would stagger you !!!\n\nAdd to all of this---the fact that in most cases --as a celebrity--you are so locked into contracts of management by the time you are a celebrity that very little of your time is actually your time anyway---you're actually at the whim of the schedule and bookings---you're usually in places that you do not know what the  hell is going on in---so someone is having to guide you around like some kind of invalid---and it goes on and on and on ----\nSure the pay is great----but then you're in a brand new tax bracket and the government is all over your stuff---so you have accountants (and who's going to watch over THEM to see that they don't give you another Willy Nelson workout ??)  \nSo--best be thinking this one through very thoroughly before you judge it all from the Letterman show or the tabloids---you would simply NOT believe the absolute craziness involved until you were eye to eye with the monster !!!

They find loopholes in the law or hide the $$$ in assets given to distant family members. They stash that stuff all over the place!\n\nIf it's a higher profile case that affects alot of people, some of the people get away with a lesser charge when they plea bargain to indict higher-ups!\n\nIn IA, 3 Cietec high-ups charged overpaying friend/family members employed there! I think it was like a million or two $$$ of state money!

Why does everybody think its better to hit the person who has more harder for the same thing? You committed the crime you suffer the punishment, whatever it is. It's the same mentality as these people who claim that rich people get off light on crimes. I think its all a matter of resenting those who have money and a desire to take it away from them. Go out and earn it yourself if you want to be rich.\n\nWhy should the penalty for speeding be a monetary fine? Why shouldn't it be something more appropriate like picking up litter along the highway? Seems a lot more sensible to me. The reason its money is so the government has another excuse to reach into your pocket. Why are you so eager to take money from one group to give to the government?

Can you believe the IRS has created a culture that believes they're getting free and extra money, so you can't wait to file a tax return when in reality it's your money to begin with that they've taken from you in error and are repaying without interest since you've given the government an interest-free loan.\n\nIf they didn't have withholding, there would be rioting in the streets each April when people realized what they were paying in taxes.\n\nOkay. . my rant's over.

The bank is required to report to the IRS all checks deposited for more that $10,000. There's no way that you can hide an inheritance from the IRS unless your relative kept the money in cash and you collected the money directly from your relative's mattress after he or she died. When a person dies, the IRS is right there on the spot to make sure they get their share. They usually seal all safe-deposit boxes within hours, and require banks to have an agent present when it is opened. Also, if you are spending a lot of money that you didn't earn, the IRS might well notice it and audit you. This is how they catch the drug and organized crime lords. The casinos and so on are required to report large winnings to the IRS.
