Wesley Snipes to Endorse Ron Paul?

(Updated at 7:30 p.m.) OCALA - After being indicted in 2006, actor Wesley Snipes sent a document to the Internal Revenue Service declaring he was a "nonresident alien" of the United States, refuting his Social Security number and warning that continued prosecution could lead to professional consequences for federal employees.

Among other things, the letter claimed the IRS deceives people to "terrorize, enslave, rape or pillage" taxpayers.

IRS Frivolous Return Program senior technical advisor Shauna Henline read excerpts of the document into the record during Snipes' tax evasion trial Thursday at prosecutors' direction.

In the 600-page declaration  :o signed by Snipes and sent Dec. 4, 2006, Snipes said he had "no ill intent or malice" and didn't want to evade any lawful requirement to pay taxes. But he went on to say the government had "no lawful authority to impose any kind of criminal sanctions."

Snipes was indicted in a sealed indictment in April 2006. The indictment wasn't made public until October of that year.

Snipes declared he had no taxable U.S. income, making the IRS Form 1040 "absolutely the wrong form for me to file." He also claimed taxes withheld were "stolen funds."

He chastised the IRS and prosecutors, saying their position toward him was "simply false, fraudulent and misrepresenting."

The document also warned the government's "illegal collection action" would result in "significant personal liability" for those involved.

"Warning - pursuit of such a high profile target will open the door for your increased collateral risk," Snipes wrote. "I certainly don't believe this is in your best interest and can be avoided."

Snipes lawyer Robert Barnes said the actor didn't intend to threaten anyone.

Wesley's gonna be one broke mofo when this is over.  Hollywood may have fooled the world with their slander of 'McCarthyism", but they don't stand a chance against IRS-ism.

Shouldn't he be supporting Huckabee? The supporter of the Fairtax?

Ahhhh, he must not want to pay taxes at all. You know, like Paul. After he's elected, the government, and all operational costs, will be ran by f'n fairy dust.  :whatever:

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

I live in Ocala, it is a media circus around this guy...one of the local reporters asked him if he was going to testify at his trial (oh, by the way, you do know we are a bunch of white sheet KKK racist in this town, Snipes said so...so it must be true...)...his answer had something to do with throwing the chicken bones...so it doesn't surprise me he is a Ron Paul supporter, most of the whaco's out there are.

i dont know about ya'll.. but that seems like a threatening note at the end of his letter.

it sounds like, "if anyone comes close to my house, i WILL shoot you"
