![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
Method Man was arrested in NY for allegedly failing to pay four years of income taxes -- but when we spotted the rapper in L.A. yesterday, dude told us "everything will be resolved. Trust me, it's a misunderstanding."
The "misunderstanding" at hand -- the $32,999 he reportedly didn't pay Uncle Sam.
If convicted, he could face four years behind bars.

Get a better accountant, like ACCOUNTANT KOOKY, but don't let Simone near your money.

If Congressman Charles Rangel doesn't have to pay interest or penalties and isn't getting arrested, why is Method Man? so much for equal protection under the law.

As a Black man, I have to ask: WHY WON'T RICH BLACK PEOPLE PAY THEIR DAMN TAXES?!?!?!?!? I HAVE TO PAY MINE, and I MAKE NOTHING!~! as a college graduate, I WISH I made what a Method Man, Charlie Rangle, Wesley Snipes, Sinbad and singer Dionne Warwick made in a month! PLUS the fact that these individuals SHOULD KNOW BY NOW that the "MAN" is going to make an extra-added example out of them because they are BLACK.....
Mel Gibson got a DUI in Mailbu, and cussed the police officers OUT, and it was expunged.....I got a DUI in February 2009, didn't cuss anyone, and mine will remain on my record forever....
PAY YOUR TAXES FOOLS!~!
I guess having lots of $$$ doesn't make you any smarter.....
IDIOTS!

Hey Kevin,
The example made out of Charles Rangel is that he is above the law.
It isn't a black/white thing. It is a politician vs anybody else thing.

I wasn't speaking of the Congressman specifically...he's in the mix...
My point is that it seems that wealthy African Americans seem to shy away from paying taxes..A LOT!~!
I don't know why this is? Not that White Americans don't do the same thing, but we seem to do it a lot more frequently....
And it's MOST DEFINITELY a "Black/White thing"....
There is a double standard in this country...as much as the average American doesn't want to believe it....some will admit to it, most still want to perpetrate that it doesn't exist....you live as an African American person for ONE day, and you will gain some VAST awareness of what the Average African American goes thru in this country.
it would be very enlightening.
