Snipes Begs Judge to Bone Out

Wesley Snipes wants to leave the country -- he just needs the government's OK.
Read the docs
Snipes is out on appeal after he was convicted of tax fraud back in April. Now he wants to travel to London and Bangkok to work on two films. Problem is, he needs his passport back from The Man before he can travel. So yesterday he filed paperwork asking for permission from his daddy (aka the judge) to go.

Snipes says he needs the work so he can get the money "to satisfy his civil tax liabilities." Too little, too late.

16. Scalie ~ STFU! Go ahead, you be the "big guy" on campus and don't pay your taxes! I'll pass! I enjoy my life and my freedom and I know that there are two things in my life that I HAVE to do.............die and pay taxes. Neither of which I really WANT to do but, I HAVE to and I don't give a flyin flip it is written or not. So, go ahead be my guest!

17. You people that are saying you don't have to pay taxes...how about you stop paying them then? I like not being sued by the government, personally.

Wesley didn't pay and look what happened to him. So please, with all of your Federal Tax wisdom, stop paying.

As for me, I'm going to enjoy my freedom by paying.

Sorry Snipes. Can't see any judge agreeing to that. But it was worth a try, right?

To # 15.….Dallas, you are quite wrong. The only thing that one must do, is to die. Paying taxes is optional. While
death is a unequivocal certainty. ARTOFWAR.
