not really. the reason you get a tax return is because the gov took too much money from your wages. some prefer to see their money up front and not let u.s. hold it intrest free. also some swift people take the taxes and place them in interest bearing accounts and pay u.s. out of the intrest earned. there is a number of ways to play the tax game. just make sure your tax person knows the rules or you could become a slave of the irs. placed on a payment plan that has you paying them for the rest of your life.

Exactly, there are numerous ways to lessen your tax bill and pay this in methods to is advantageous to the payer. If regular Americans are upholding their end and paying American dues, without the resources of celebrities, then I see no reason to offer pittance to someone who may have squandered all their earnings

In the states, it goes a little somethin' like this ...

It's assumed you know you must pay your share of taxes. Particularly if the amount is large enough to make the IRS rub their palms, salivate, and drool.

If you forget to pay, a couple of kind letters are sent to you as a friendly reminder that you owe and must pay your taxes.

If you neglect the letters, a courtesy call will be made to find out if and when you will be paying up.

If you duck the letters and calls, IRS agents are unleashed to your premises.

If you duck the letters, calls, and IRS agents, a bounty will be put on your head and a task force of jack boot agents who've been scoping out your every move will be packin' some serious heat, hunt you down 'til you're caught, handcuffed, and brought to justice before a judge who will determine how long you should spend behind bars as an example to other potential tax evaders.

Bottom line? Avoid all the drama and pay your taxes.

hey wait a second mind bat, you must be an agent or been involved with the agency. come to think of it, mind bat must be your call sign. LOL good post and true, very true.

And there is no law that commands the US Government to pay for roads, pay for transportation, pay for military, pay for social security, pay for medical care, pay for education, pay for housing, pay for energy, pay for infrastructure, pay for prisons, pay for broadcast airwaves, pay for internet and wireless infrastructure.

Paying our taxes ensure we remain a civilized society.

*sigh* Why even bother, I'm on a forum that only knows two words, Pacquaio and Mayweather

wow man this is a very good post. there is no law to my knowledge that says gov must provide community infrastucture. good post.

I mean those things are only a fraction of the things the US government pays for..I just don't understand why taxes are so demonized in the United States, when EVERYONE in America benefits from the tax dollars our government collects.

It's unfortunate to say the least. Roy "seemed" to be one of the more intelligent fighters... I have to say it's surprising he's faced with this situation. Fortunately there are some fighters who are secure financially. Sugar Ray Leonard,. Ali, Lennox Lewis, George Foreman. It's a sad situation for Roy because his body is spent and with this news being released the press is going to mock him every step of the way. Hopefully, he's not facing a situation as bad as Holyfield.

hey dont count foreman. he made 137million in one year selling those grills. thats why he quit HBO. and that was just 1 year. he continues to make dough off those grills. i wish i was one of his kids LOL

It is a good thing he lives in Florida though or they could take his house, if he sells his residence they will take that money in a heart beat though.

I kind of want to cry a little. Lets start a petition for Roy to come out with another CD, Id rather pay to hear him rap than watch him fight.

[ILLuminato]

Roy, the mofo must have amde millions yet ****ed his bank up too. No wonder

Boxers really are dumb.

I would be surprised if pac doesn't go broke the way he has 15 men and buys people things

Pacquiao lives in the Philippines, much lower tax
