What's up with that "top notch" lawyer nonsense? This isn't an editorial, Ronnie. Just report the news.

Could it be, That U Can't Handel the Truth DIMWIT???

No, all his rooms are filled with those high-priced hookers with attitudes who call themselves employees of TMT.

Hmmm, I always Thought the TMT Cats were into Dudes!!!

It's sad that you can hate somebody you don't even know so much that it irritates you to see their names used in a positive manner.

Read and move on; stop acting like *****es.

This guy is going to jail

For the past 4-5 years the US has been going after every wealthy citizen, or foreigner who does business in the US for whatever they can dredge up. Generally the multi-million dollar guys. They are desperate for cash. Very often a decent accountant, trying to save his client accounting fees will advise him that although he owes nothing, to just compromise with them for a much smaller sum. Then he gives his contact there a call, and sends in an amended return to make things all legal and documented. They do it in Canada, I know....... and I'd bet everywhere else. They are blackmailers and gougers who can cause an enormous amount of trouble and expense even if nothing is owed. They "compromise'...a polite kind of blackmail.

That is the way the IRS treats every citizen except the 1% and the corporations that vest it. Its not just illogical that the IRS leaves such a bad taste in everyone's mouth. We know that a flat sales tax and present property taxes would do fine....

It's in the BIR document, which is published online and his political rivals made sure it was available to the public. It states "Mr.Pacquiao's documents showed banking accounts and assets in the U.S. totaling $41.8 million dollars". Regarding the only banking protected by the government..take a look at greece and other places..the government let people lose al their money when the banks went bankrupt. Here the government invested billions upon billions to keep them afloat.



I'm the idiot..ok. Yet which one of us repeatedly mispelled the world. A few ways over centuries..do you know how long government sanctioned "LIENS" have existed..clearly you don't. There were no liens, if you owed you were taken to court and your property "SEIZED" and "Transferred" to whomever you owed, even if it exceeded the value of your debt. My wife has a graduate degree in Real Estate from NYU and calls your "spelled over centuries" flat out bullshhhhh but nice try bucko. Go read the BIR report its entirety and get back to us....

Mispelling a borrowed word is a poor excuse to rant, so you are the idiot. Do you know how long the concept of a liene has existed legally? Leine is first of all a borrowed word, coming initially from Latin and then from Normandy into the English legal system....meaning, as said, it has probably been spelled many ways....Why don't you pick up Meinken's book on the English language jakazz, it will explain among other things why it is so ignorant to pick at spelling of words that have been used for centuries.

Your on about government sanctioned leine's eh? I was not referring specifically to an IRS Liene I was referring to a Leine in general. The IRS did not invent leines bub....and don't throw your wife's education around unless you know the education level of the other people involved.....hint you made an azz of yourself with that one. I also doubt there is a graduate degree in REal Estate but whatever.....

Bottom line, borrowed words can be spelled any way we want to, again read the man who researched the English language and was respected as virtually the only man to do so regarding the development of English in this country.
I spell the way I do as a dyslexic because I like to type a fast as I think and until someone can show me that Meinken was wrong about "spelling" I will continue to do so!

The so called 1% pays the vast majority of taxes

http://money.cnn.com/2013/03/12/news...my/rich-taxes/

This article shows that the 10% pay the vast majority of taxes....but the 1% of the 10% of the riches pay the most in taxes.

That's good news for Pacman. Now if only he could get this lawyer to help him release his head from Bob Arum's azz! Probably not, since Bob
probably hired the lawyer for him.

Well I guess all the H&R Block interns are going to have to find something else to crow about. I said it before if he really owed that much money they wouldn't give him a Visa,political or otherwise. When the IRS disputes one write off they'll dispute all the writeoffs for the entire year of earnings. If this dude owes more than 3 to 5 million it would surprising. He had $41 million in fluid assets (Money in banks in the U.S., Properties (Globally), and bonds. The IRS isn't privied to his investments in the Philipines either (Hence all the swiss and Dakota's accounts that billionaires have...Read up on the Dakota legacy wills laws), so all in all this cat ain't broke despite the quick assumptions and reports.

u kidding me hell ya they would they can seize his winnings of course they will let him come here no doubt about it.

It's because he's the worst article writer I've read on here...and that's saying a lot. It's absolute garbage and he's more of a fanboy than a journalist...which since it's pretty openly admitted I guess is fine, though don't expect anyone to take him seriously.

He got you reading - mission accomplished.
