I love how she's clapping her big trap now about how her ancestors were slaves, as if that somehow excused her for being a tax cheat. Then she complains about the music industry for being so horrible to her, but I notice she never returned the mountains of cash she made there. No sympathy for that woman. Most of us work a lot harder for a fraction of the money - oh, and by the way, we still pay our taxes.

Love how the racist tea partiers are in knots over this one.
Should I race bait? Or tax hate?

Lauryn has to be on my top 3 list of all-time most beautiful female names.

She is historically accurate that her people were enslaved. And now in 2013 how much have things changed? Whether you're a Martha Stewart or Lauryn Hill, you run afoul of DC and you are going to be tossed into the dungeon.

I can't see what race has to do with this anyway.

but I can see that some people might want to let her off because she is supposedly 'cool', but that is just silly

The American injustice system strikes again!!!!!

The DOJ can spend all of their time, assets and energy going after people like Hill, Martha Stewart and Conrad Black while the biggest crimminals in the history of the world continue to collect their billions or tens of billions, trashing the economy and wrecking havoc on the entire world's economy. It makes me puke to tell you the truth.

She was in the movie "Sister Act 2" with Whoopicushion Goldberg. She did not do that for free and she gets money from music sales.
