Did he commit a crime? What is the income tax anyways but forced coercive charity. I know this is South Korea but did you know that by the United States constitution the income tax is illegal because it is not apportioned? The amendment was not even ratified. Think about it, he wasn't violent, he didn't steal from anyone, why should he go to jail? These tax laws are ridiculous, that tax doesn't even pay for roads or hospitals, it pays for interest on national and domestic debt. I cannot believe people think it is a crime not to pay taxes and actually think it deserves jail time.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[jroc]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 16th 2008 3:51PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ex-Samsung boss fined $109 million for tax evasion, collar too white for jail]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/ex-samsung-boss-fined-109-million-for-tax-evasion-collar-too-w/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/ex-samsung-boss-fined-109-million-for-tax-evasion-collar-too-w/</guid><description><![CDATA[so sawee.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chuckles McGee]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 16th 2008 7:14PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ex-Samsung boss fined $109 million for tax evasion, collar too white for jail]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/ex-samsung-boss-fined-109-million-for-tax-evasion-collar-too-w/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/ex-samsung-boss-fined-109-million-for-tax-evasion-collar-too-w/</guid><description><![CDATA[ok as much as I love engadget wat do u guys have against him??
