It’s Snarky Friday! (Volume III)
This week, S.F. brings you the adventures of a semi-celeb who was very, very, naughty.
Did he kill someone? No.
Did he burn down an entire village? Nope.
Did he bootleg music over the Internet? Unknown.
Did he outwit, outplay, and outlast? Not this time.
Funny how that works, isn’t it? The IRS may be a lot of things, but lenient towards tax cheats apparently isn’t one of them. Especially when you’re also popped for stealing from a charity. Slick move there, Hatch. Real slick.
I didn’t really care for Hatch the first time I saw Survivor – I was still in that mode of seeing “the good guy” win. But he conned his way through that show, and walked away with a cool million, a ton of endorsement deals, and a reputation as one of America’s sneakiest people.
Right up front, can I remind the world that it’s STUPID to think the Feds are going to let you get away with not paying your fair share to the U.S. Kitty? They’ve got very little to lose by prosecuting you for tax evasion – you know the rules, you know you have to share with the government.
I pay my taxes every year, and although I don’t always enjoy doing so, I do it. Why? Because living in Camp Cupcake next to Martha Stewart and Richard Hatch isn’t my idea of a perfect holiday getaway. I prefer Disney World, thankyou. (More rides, less jail bars.)
It’s one of the two rules of life. You’ve gotta pay The Man. What’s there to argue about?
But I think the biggest blunder Hatch made though was thinking he could get away with it. Oh, sure – he may have convinced 15 other yuckleheads on Borneo that he was all that, but the Tax Man don’t play dat, homey. On April 28, he’ll be sentenced to upwards to 13 years in prison for his greed.
Was it worth it? Somehow, I seriously doubt it.
So this week, we salute Richard “I lost more than my pants!” Hatch – Nudist Survivor, Pinstriped Felon.
Idiot.
