Lauryn Hill gets 3 months for failing to pay taxes

What did she say?

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Grammy-winning singer Lauryn Hill stood in federal court Monday and compared her experience in the music business to the slavery her ancestors endured before a judge sentenced her to three months in prison for failing to pay about $1 million in taxes over the past decade.

"I am a child of former slaves who had a system imposed on them," Hill said before U.S. Magistrate Madeline Cox Arleo. "I had an economic system imposed on me."

Did she really equate her "problems" with "slavery"????

:shock:
 
I don't know who Lauryn Hill is and after reading this I really don't care :)
 
Oh, how terrible it must be to be a multimillionaire musician.
 
This is akin to when Adrian Peterson said of the NFL, "It's like modern-day slavery."

Brainwashing is scary.
 
If slavery earns me a couple million in royalties every year....sign me up! What a douchebag.
 
If there's justice in the world she won't sell another record !!

Poor spoiled brat.
 
She heard a Democrat say that only rich white people have to pay taxes, and she believed them.
 
What country did her parents live in that they are former slaves? Or did they give birth to her when they were 100 years old?
