Wall Street could get away with this, but a harmless singer gets jail time for not paying a small amount in taxes?

Lauryn Hill gets 3 months for failing to pay taxes

Yeah, "harmless singer", you must be a very naive sheltered little girl. A lot of harmless working class folks are locked up for not paying a "small amount" in taxes. This is life. Just because she is "harmless"(because she is not a murderer or something, does that mean we should be "appreciative"? that is , you are not supposed to be harmful, now we are rewarding that?). She deserved more time. She has the money and pretty sure she is a socialist preacher who tells people who don't have the money to give it to people who don't work for a living. I can tell you never really lived life on your own.

Worried about a wealthy singer who got a 3 month federal bid for cheating on her taxes which would have contributed to social programs for poor minorities you say she cares about, you need to your priorities in check, way too much time on your hands.

Getting compensation in the form of stock options and only paying a 15% capital gains tax isn't illegal.
