Closing the Tax Gap: Encouraging Voluntary Compliance Through Mass-Media Publication of High-Profile Tax Issues ELIZABETH BRANHAM* INTRODUCTION Taxes and tax policies affect every American, young and old, rich and poor. Because of their pervasive effect, it is only natural that in a world increasingly consumed by celebrity obsession, important issues arising from celebrity tax evasion, whether criminal or not, are brought to the fore. Recently, this has been true of well-known individuals such as Wesley Snipes, Joe Francis, and Richard Hatch.' However, the publication of high-profile tax prosecutions is not a new phenomenon. In the 1920S the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) prosecuted Al Capone; in the197os Vice President Spiro Agnew faced tax evasion charges; and in the i98os Leona Helmsley was forced to spend time in jail for tax evasion! The difference between modem tax evaders and those of the late 9oos is that in the last two decades, the rise of the Internet and celebrity gossip magazines has made celebrities both more visible and more obvious embodiments of social values and norms.

  • 10 Notorious Tax Cheats: Queen of Mean Leona Helmsley Proved Little People Can Put You in Jail
    Robert W. Wood THE TAX LAWYER TAXES 4/17/2015 10 Notorious Tax Cheats: Queen Of Mean Leona Helmsley Proved Little People Can Put You In Jail Leona Helmsely died in 2007 at age 87, and some people may not know of her past prominence. In her heyday, she was as big as Donald Trump or Kim Kardashian. And she was colorful too. A billionaire, she was convicted of tax fraud that started with small and obvious acts of evasion. She had a harsh persona too, earning her the nickname the “Queen of Mean.” During her tax evasion trial, a former employee testified that Helmsley said: “We don’t pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes.” By “we”, she meant not only herself but her husband, New York tycoon Harry Helmsley. ‘Only little people pay taxes’ became America’s version of ‘let them eat cake.’ Leona married Harry Helmsley in 1972. It was her fourth marriage, and Harry left his wife of nearly 30 years to marry Leona. Harry Helmsley was already very rich, and the two became richer still, with a vast portfolio of real estate and other assets. Leona was lavish in some ways, miserly in others. She chiseled on her taxes, once making a sales clerk rewrite a bill for earrings to save $4 in sales tax. Hotelier Leona Helmsley is surrounded by her attorneys Jeffrey Taub, left, and Steven Eckhaus, right, outside State Supreme Court, in this file photo of Tuesday, Jan. 28, 2003, in New York. Helmsley, who was reviled as the “queen of mean,” and went to prison as a tax cheat, died in Greenwich, Ct., on Aug.
