To the editor:

Since when is defrauding the IRS a misdemeanor and no longer a federal crime?

Previously, anyone committing tax evasion was sentenced to severe federal consequences as Al Capone, top gangster, learned. The feds couldn’t nail him for his many major crimes, but did nail him financially for his tax evasion, going to Alcatraz Prison. Why, then, does Hunter Biden get a “slap on the wrist?” He made several million dollars in two years and paid no taxes to the IRS. If the rest of us citizens committed this crime, we would be in prison for a long time.

We seem to have a “new justice system” now which is split to accommodate two groups. If one is rich and corrupt, you basically “walk” with maybe a fine, if that. If yo are an “average Joe” taxpayer who has committed the same crime, you go to prison for a long time, not a few months or years.

Under U.S. democracy, there was equal justice for all which is no longer true under the two-tiered Biden Socialist justice and tax systems.
