COME ON AMERICA. Let's get serious. The I.R.S waited over 3 YEARS to tell this man that he owes 4 cents, therefore his penalty is over $200. Can you all believe this? lol.[/center]

this has nothing to do wih being broke, taxes are the law in the US. it doesnt matter if you owe $1,000,000 or $.01. noone is immune to this. ask Al Capone

Damn IRS

^^AGREED!

@Agatha its an inside joke the "broke thing". And either way chasing someone one down for 4 pennies is rediculous regardless of law, especially when they are not notified (or if so), and having to pay 200 US dollars in fines. Its rediculous.

taking 4 cents from an American is like taking a full days earnings from a Nigerian.

and yes we are broke, because we police the world and allow our companies to outsource jobs to developing nations.

You police the world on the claim that you are suporting Democracy but in reality the more nations you can get to copy your systems the easier it is for you to penetrate their markets, set up shop and exploit the hell out of em.(read latin American history)

Outsourcing was inevitable in a free market type style economy. labour goes to where it is the cheapest and most efficient.

you need to tellyour governmetn tos top building new bomb that explode 2 secs earlier than the previous bomb they have. maybe they can cut millions of dollars of expenses and give ya'll a tax break.

you do realise in the US there is a legal way to not pay any taxes though it is rather extream - only met one couple who ever chose to do it. you can turn in your social security card. once you do you can never reapply so it is permanent and disqualifies you and any of your dependants (children or parents under your care) from receiving any government benefits (welfare, wic, social security, medicare, grants, fema aid, government scholarships, instate discounts at state or county run universities, etc) and prohibits you from working a government or civil job or for a company with government contracts - makes it hard to find employment in general. also makes it very difficult to get bank accounts, loans, utilities and such but if you really hate the tax codes in the US and don't want to move to a country who is more lenient then this is your only other option

Doesn't sound that bad at all. Only that the rules make it extremely difficult to pull off. Not impossible but quite diffcult

Big ups to you! That is SOOOOO true. They did the same thing to Jamaica. They gave guns to the youth to kill, terrorize and threaten other communities who supported rival political parties, forcing the other political parties to arm themselves with AK-47's and then war! After they successfully got an ex-C.I.A. member aka Edward Seaga (aka C.I.A.ga lol) to be our prime minister, by way of him farmers were taxed so harshly that they ended up losing land, therefore could not provide goods and thus American PRODUCE was imported while our fresh food and natural resources were exported. So jobs and food were knocked out of our hands and replaced with guns and cheap housing scemes.

The I.R.S is the biggest bully of them all. I would have thrown the pennies at them. (And probably gotten taxed for that too angry).
