Difference is, they have the money. It's pretty common for average Americans to owe more in taxes than they can possibly pay. $2.7 million is nothing to someone like Juan Pablo Montoya whereas a few thousand dollars - that's an entire year of food for some people. And it's lower-income people that just had their taxes raised, earlier this year, for the second time in three years.
Not to mention - someone with money can get themselves out of IRS messes. Someone who doesn't have a lot of money has no recourse and most likely got themselves in a mess with the IRS because they aren't wealthy.
I have no sympathy for rich people who don't pay taxes - especially when they're the ones screaming about "only rich people pay taxes".
Now this is something we can 100% agree on Andy.
