This phrase was in the comments section, and it's too funny not to share, irrespective of politics.
I have zero sympathy for folks who wilfully don't pay their taxes. Once I went through a period of being way behind on filing returns, but I always made sure they had their money.
The only situation I can think of that conjures even a little sympathy is if the tax bill arises from a transaction where the money to pay it never was in my possession, like inheriting a valuable stake in a private company, or a valuable patent portfolio that is not yet performing, or any other valuable-but-difficult-to-monetize possession. They you have to come up with money or sell something, which might not be easy to do. But I doubt this is typically the situation or the situation in the referenced case.

To be fair, it's incredible that either of those two nutjobs even earns an income, so I could why they wouldn't feel the need to pay taxes.
