Seems that our dear Mr. Prince of Blackwater fame might be guilty of tax evasion. He's been trotting out the old "all my employees are independent contractors" scam. Now, I may be naive here, but one would think working security details involves your BOSS scheduling your hours? OUCH...that right there shoots a big hole in the Prince of Darkness's ruse.Now, it would seem to make sense, that the Federal Government should SUSPEND all Federal Contracts let out to Blackwater until this little alleged TAX EVASION SCHEME is resolved, and our government is assured there has been no CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR on the part of our Mr. Prince. Surely, if it is true that our dear Mr. Prince and his beloved Blackwater have evaded his/their legal obligation to pay over $30 million in taxes, there could be some PRISON TIME? Add in the April-September unpaid taxes and the figure jumps to over $50 MILLION dollars! Wondering what that amount becomes with interest, fines and penalties? There was a case in Michigan of tax evasion, and the people that perpetrated that crime each got 24 months in Federal Prison...can you imagine the PRINCE in a smart orange prison jump suit? PRICELESS
Can see the crumbling empire now. After all, why would the State Department want to do business with tax evaders, thugs of the worst kind. Even worse, imagine the risks involved at the Pentagon in giving Blackwater access to TOP SECRET security information...surely the United States military cannot afford such risks? If Blackwater is guilty of cheating on their taxes, what other laws are they willing to break in accomplishing their own goals? Are they above committing murder? Would they be a bit trigger happy if someone got in the way of their goal? Best not be to quick in assumptions here...after all, Halliburton is still getting rich, so maybe laws don't apply to people in Mr. Prince's position.
The PLOT THICKENS.
