What additional burden do you think the bill puts on small businesses?
- csomar 6y ago> The act also makes “deliberate false statements or willful evasion of its requirements” a federal crime, punishable by up to three years in jail.
- zepto 6y agoThe relevant words being ‘deliberate’ and ‘willful’, meaning the prosecution will have to prove your intent beyond reasonable doubt. If there is no crime to point to beyond misfiling, there will be no case for willful intent.
- generalizations 6y agoAs someone else pointed out, those words seem ripe for exploitation by prosecutors looking for a plea-bargain.
- zepto 6y agoAs I have replied elsewhere, that’s only a problem if they have something else on you. Legitimate businesses don’t have to stress about a clerical error landing them in jail.
- generalizations 6y agoBetter to have a well written law on the side of the civilian than a badly written one that can be enforced on the whim of a bureaucrat. At least, that's the way I see it.
- zepto 6y agoThat doesn’t seem to be related to this topic in any obvious way.
- TheCoelacanth 6y agoThat seems pretty similar to every government form that I've ever filled out.
