IRS To Actor: Don't You Snipes At Us!

Who says useless, tyrannical, bullying, and extremist bureaucracy can't be funny?

Well, actually, I suspect the actor (hmm.. he's more of a start than an actor, I think, since the later requires talent while the former involves only a camera, a publicist, and a size Triple-X ego), Wesley Snipes, is not too found of this bureaucracy.

Technically speaking, according to the feds from the U.S. Treasury Department, Snipes is wanted (but only extremely dangerous if his ego sits on you) on a number of possibly felonious charges, including skipping out on more than $12 million in taxes along with a failure to file a tax return for six or more years.

However, I'm pretty damned sure that corporations like Enron and Halliburton have skipped out on far more than $12 milion even in a given year and IRS agents weren't threatening the likes of Fastow and Ken Lay.
