While using the tax laws, within the law I have no problem with. It's the people who intentionally look for ways to illegally avoid paying taxs that irritates me. I know a few people who have for 30 plus years ....basically cheated on taxs, admit it, and say to bad for the suckers who don't cheat and They really believe if you don't get caught it's OK. They have been able to get away with it so long, they now live a very nice life style while others in their equivalent income levels who were honest with their taxs and paid them - (for example) - remain worried about the bills next month. How is that different than say..welfare fraud ? OR ???

If you listen to people here you would believe that taxes are theft, and they're just trying to avoid getting robbed.....

Read some of the replies. They have no problem with breaking the laws and being citizens, you'd think they would feel that way about illegals too? I mean hey its OK for them....

I've never cheated on my taxes. Its obvious we need to up the penalties.

Well, under those circumstances it's not tax evasion.

if you know for sure that these people cheated on their taxes, turn them into the IRS.

No.

No one ever claimed that Mitt cheated on his taxes. He did employ very good accountants, who know the rules like the backs of their hands, who planned his financial matters to minimize his taxes.

That is both perfectly legal, and completely proper.
