Death and Taxes... and Kent Hovind

Posted by Johnny

Apparently, Dr. Dino (Hovind) forgot about the old addage, "The only two certainties in life are death and taxes." He has been arrested for 17 years of tax evasion, totalling more than $450,000. He paid his employees in cash as "missionaries" to avoid taxes, and now it's coming up to bite him in the ass.

Here's my favourite part of the article:

Kent Hovind, who often calls himself "Dr. Dino," has been sparring with the IRS for at least 17 years on his claims that he is employed by God, receives no income, has no expenses and owns no property.

What a fucking idiot. Sure, the US Government is a hotbed of rampant religion, but the good old IRS doesn't recognize God as a legitimate employer. They also don't respond well to threats, which he has made many times, according to the article.

Not only are they making 58 charges against him, they took away his passport and guns so that he couldn't escape the country.

Justice is served, and my day just got that much better.
