Some of the tax liens go as far back as 1998. I don't get it. Halsey Minor is the founder of CNET and a real jerk if there ever was one.
How do these billionaires get away with this while little people are hounded to death? The total amount the top 250 tax dodgers in CA owe the state is $131,480,282.33.

I owed a small amount I couldn't pay one year and California State made my life total hell.

1. Little people get hounded for small amounts because we

can't afford to pay a good tax lawyers the thousands of dollars needed to make the IRS think twice, thrice, four times about making a stink.

2. Seeing those astronomical figures and the impunity with which

people like Minor parade their maids, nannies, cars, furs, pained my soul.

I wonder how much the top 250 tax dodgers in all states combined owe the IRS.
