With today being April 15, the hated Tax Day, it is something to think about. And in case you are wondering what Earl would do, he would at least try.
My Name is Earl, Season 1 Episode 17 "Didn't Pay Taxes"
Earl got away with not paying his taxes for years but now that he is working with karma, he wants to pay his back taxes. It isn't until Randy finds an uncashed paycheck that Earl realizes he had been cheating the government out of this taxes. So he adds it to his list.
When Earl tries to pay his back taxes, no one wants to take his money. After the IRS office turns him away, he puts the money into the suggestion box. But they just mail it back to Earl.
Earl is more determined than ever. He tries to fix a pothole but a police office stops him because potholes have to be filled by an "authorized government worker." Then he joins a prison work team, but ends up in solitary confinement.
Now Earl is just desperate. He decides to break the law in a effort to get fined so he can pay the government. But he just ends up trapped in the water tower. When he finally gets rescued, he gets fined the $500 that he has been trying to pay the government and therefore can cross "Didn't pay taxes" off his list.
For those of you with Netflix, you can watch the whole episode on instant view. Or tbs.com has longer clips.
