how much did these people pay in interest and penalties?

Zero.

No interest. No penalties. Only the unpaid taxes.

Is it true that anyone not paying their fair share of taxes this year, will automatically receive a democrat voter registration card with their stimulus check?

Johnny Carson.........."I didn't know that."

Wasn't it "I did not know that."?

I guess your username explains why you did not hear it clearly...

You have to love the equal treatment.

You, or I would have owed 2-3 x’s the taxable amount from penalties & interest.

I quit watching The Tonight Show...when Carson left.

He was a classic.......

And you are correct....it's "I did not know that"

Here’s how the peasants are treated:

http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSTRE53D01M20090414?feedType=RSS&feedName=topNews&rpc=22&sp=true
An elderly woman in Austin, Texas, who asked not to be named, said her $3,000 debt to the IRS grew to around $60,000 in taxes and penalties over 16 years despite the fact that she paid off the initial debt within six months.

The 61-year-old is disabled and suffers from multiple health problems. The IRS now takes $133 each month from her Social Security disability check.

The practice is part of the agency’s Federal Payment Levy Program, which allows up to 15 percent of any federal payments a delinquent taxpayer receives to go directly to the IRS until their overdue taxes are paid in full.

Kind of like the CCR song...”There’s a bathroom on the right”. (Bad Moon on the rise)

I just got that...

And the famous "Bonanny Woman." I'm not sure what a "Bonanny Woman" is, but I am reasonably sure that I don't want one...
