Interestingly, fame and power are very, very different.
If you are a movie star, maybe someone like Wesley Snipes, and you don't pay your taxes, you go to prison for three years.
If you are Representative in the house, maybe like Charlie Rangel, and you don't pay taxes for 17 years, your colleagues give you a slap on the wrist, you're allowed to keep your job, and maybe even build a library as a shrine to yourself.
If there was any justice and equality, both of these men would share a cell in the same prison.
