Wow, how severe. That will teach them a lesson. Hope the slap on the wrist didn't hurt.

Who cares, it's their money and I don't blame them one bit for trying to keep a little extra for themselves instead of coughing everything up to the gov't. This day in age where so much abuse of "the system" goes on, so many illegal aliens get to take part of our country, people who mooch off the backs of hard working citizens, the Bogan's wanted a bit more for their long hours, took a shot at keeping a little extra for themselves and got caught. It's the American way. It's been going on in history since taxes were created, people always try and keep what they feel is rightfully theirs.

Six months in prison is not so much fun at 77 years old. And it is a very small business, the amount they were not reporting was not that much. The more cash you take, the more jail time, the bigger the fines. Plus they have to pay back everything they owe with interest.

The Bogans are just ahead of their time. Our kids and grandkids will look at them as pioneers. They are going to be paying for our debt. They will have to learn how to survive in an underground economy. No one will be able to afford the massive taxes government will demand.

Yeah people have to pay taxes. But it sucks that one must go to jail cause they wanted to keep some extra of there own money that they earned themselves.

I really hate America. Land of the Slaves to government

I don't blame them. The bigger government gets, the poorer small business owners and workers will be. But don't worry, there will still be plenty of money for EBT and welfare.

And in Washington DC, Congressman Charlie Rangel is saying: " Geez, rookies........."

Should put the knuckleheads in Washington in jail

let me see ,keep as much as you can,pay as little tax as you can,can any one spell GREECE

Everyone and I mean everyone who receives cash as income whether it be a business or waiters, waitresses etc do the same exact thing... I mean who's kidding who? The poor old guy shouldn't have to do jail time but they should have to pay what they owe in taxes... Why should all of us who are paid by check or direct deposit have to pay everything we owe and those who receive cash are mostly ignored unless they do something to be investigated?

These comments are a symptom of what's wrong with our voluntary tax system. If EVERYONE paid what they were suppose to, the country wouldn't be in the fiscal mess it is. The 2012 tax gap (difference between what is collected and what should have been collected) is 400 billion dollars. Why are the Bogans any better than me or any of the other folks out there that work hard, commute long distances, and make sacrifices to have a roof over our heads and food on the table and pay ALL our taxes through W2 withholding. Since when is it admirable to try and break the law and get over on your neighbors? You don't like how your elected officials are spending the money, vote them out. Pay your taxes or go to jail. Set the example for your kids. Have some integrity. Guarantee all you tax cheats are the first ones in line for unemployment, FEMA Aid, medicare, etc.... It's the "get over" culture that is killing us.

No good deed goes unpunished it just took the government 79 years to reach out to the Bogan Family. In 1934 Captain Bogan's Father rescued 67 people from the Moro Castle.
Help was on the way, it just wasn't from the US Coast Guard.
Mission Accomplished.

BTW: This is an annual Rite of passage for the IRS: just before April 15 they make an example out of a Captain Bogan, Wesley Snipes, or a Redd Foxx.
I'm not a CPA, but, Pay your taxes or else....

Very true, it is the "get over culture that is killing us. The tax cheats belong right up there with the food stamp, unemployment, and other "entitlement" abusers. I don't care if you agree with the amount you are taxed or not, it is the law, and cheating on your taxes is illegal and immoral. I believe in karma, and cheaters are always punished or miserable in the end.

Yea But All the Illeagals in front of the Acme in Manasquan,the muster zone in Lakewood and all that hang out in Freehold down the road from the courthouse are untouchable. How much in taxes do they pay ? They want free education,medical and for us to learn Spanish.

There is heck a lot more surrounding companies and families who is cheating a lot more than the Bogan's family business. He should rat them all out.

Canon
