| Actually, you can let your taxes ride for 3 years if you wish to. That's perfectly legal. So you didnt break the law unless it was one month after the three year max.
I understand the difference between civil and criminal actions. That said, what Wesley Snipes did was no worse than what Schultz did. They both avoided taxes with knowledge of what they were doing. You seem to not understand the nature of the crime that both of these guys committed is exactly the same, yet the punishment is different. Furthermore, your logic does not work with other crimes. Can I get out of a speeding ticket by claiming I did not know the speed limit? No. Citizens are responsible for knowing the laws of the land. The government is responsible for making information on those laws available to the public. Schultz found a technicality and that is the only reason he is a free man.. because the courts could not disprove his interpretation of the printed law beyond a reasonable doubt.
