Re: I'm curious!
Buz,
​
There's quite a number of US citizens who use the system's laws to evade. Likely if he weren't legal he'd have been busted long ago. I don't know how they do it, but hey, if it's legal, I guess the system's to blame.
​
Tax avoidance is legal & consists of legitimate ways of reducing your tax burden, such as tax free savings, tax deductables etc. Tax evasion is illegal non-payment where payment is required, & most western countries come down hard.
​
Maybe the system needs to be a better example of what's fair and just. Like the system expells you from your own home if you don't pay your tax/rent (some homes are taxed as much as home rent) on it so for all practical purposes the system claims to own your home (confiscation by the system).
​
If you rent then it's not your home anyway, is it? They confiscate your home to pay taxes that you should have paid anyway. NOt that a level of leniency shouldn't be displayed in some cases where the option is living on the street, but otherwise, tough. It's all there in black & white.
​
Likely if he weren't legal he'd have been busted long ago.
​
Following that logic we can say most people are innocent, if they were guilty they would have been busted a long time ago. The IRS has just taken its time to build a case.
​
Hovind's dishonesty extends to all areas of his life. Have no sympathy.

Re: Hovind busted
Hi Archer,
​
And the judge was Miles Davis, which is kind of nice in itself.
​
There is a God.
​
Why is Mr Davis appropriate? Sorry for my ignorance, an Anglo question.

PaulK,
​
What's Hovind looking at if found guilty? Tax fraud here in the UK is almost a mandatory prison sentence.

Buz,
​
Why are you even defending this guy? He's broken the law, & that merits a punishment. Your precious society that is so beat upon by the government wouldn't function without taxation.

Wouldn't the sentences be served concurrently rather than consecutively? eg. Three sentences of 5, 8, & 10 years mean you serve 10 years total.
