Tax cheats are criminals

An April 10 news item reported: “In Dallas, there are more than 1,000 wealthy people who owe a whole lot of money the IRS says it isn’t even trying to collect. Budget reductions have forced the revenue collection staff to train its firepower on cheats who owe over a million dollars or more.”

Citizens, these people are criminal cheats. They are not merely taking advantage of loopholes bestowed upon them legally by Congress.

Our tax system was set up to be voluntary because, supposedly, we contract the representatives to perform to our needs and we the people pay for those services.

I repeat, those who cheat on their income taxes are criminals. We have borrowed and borrowed to run the federal government and we now owe the Japanese and the Chinese more than $1 trillion each.

We must deal with the un-American tax cheats if this country is to survive.
