Action movie star Wesley Snipes was found NOT GUILTY of any Felony charges in his tax evasion trial. He was convicted of 3 lesser charges, and potentially could face jail time, but not nearly as much as he deserves.
This is just one more case of a celebrity getting to do as they please, and not being held to account for it. The sickening part is that this was done by a jury this time, and not just one idiot with some power.
We have a serious problem in our Celebrity obsessed culture. You have to look at what happened here. Snipes refused to pay MILLIONS of dollars in taxes that he rightfully owed under the current tax code, not because he was trying to lead some sort of protest against the crazy tax code in the country, which, admittedly, needs an overhaul, but simply because he didn't want to pay his taxes. The taxes that he failed to pay is more money than most of us will make in our lifetimes, and yet if you or I failed to pay our taxes, we would not recieve such lax treatment, and we would get far more than a symbolic slap on the wrist.
How can we demand fairness from our Government when we are unable to dispense fairness when we are ones doling out the "justice''???

One regular guy proclaiming that the uncompromising Gospel Of Jesus Christ is the only relevant thing that the Church has to offer the culture.
1 Peter 2:9
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
"Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." C. S. Lewis
"Some wish to live within the sound of Church or Chapel bell; I want to run a Rescue Shop within a yard of hell." - C.T. Studd
2 Timothy 2:15
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Jude 2-3
Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
