Hi Rachel.

If I remember correctly, Mr. Snipes made no secret of his income; he just was under the impression that he wasn't required to pay taxes on it.

Again, if my memory serves me correctly, Mr. Street at first denied reveiving "consulting fees", then, disagreed with the Feds on the amounts he received, and now is under the impression that he doesn't have to pay taxes on the income.

Do I think he is trying to get over ?

Yep.

In 1971, U.S. currency was no longer backed by silver, our coins were no longer silver,and silver was $4.00 per ounce and a house cost $40,000.
In effect, a house STILL cost 10,000 silver dollars.

In 1977 or 78, the U.S. Supreme Court heard the case and ruled that since the man accepted U.S. currency as payment from his employer for his labor, he was required to pay taxes on it.


The Court didn't address whether our currency was worthless or not.

I always thought that was interesting.
