More American Than Apple Pie

Agreed, seventeen states is a lot of states to neglect to pay income tax in. He must have been using Wesley Snipes's accountant. But I would draw a distinction between not paying taxes and not paying parking tickets - not paying taxes in seventeen states is a white-collar offense that only a wealthy investor or Hollywood celebrity (in other words, a snooty member of the socio-economic elite) can accomplish, whereas VIRTUALLY EVERYONE I KNOW blows off the occasional parking ticket. There's nothing the least bit elitist about it, unless you're racking them up under cover of diplomatic immunity or something like that...
