Champion swimmer Michael Phelps has landed himself in hot water again – this time the Golden Boy is facing the wrath of the Tax Man. A tax lien filed last year has revealed that Phelps, 24, owes the State of California $23,289.16 for returns filed in 2005 and 2006.
It looks like Phelps is going through a rough patch.
Last February, a snap of the Charm City native smoking marijuana through a pipe was leaked to the British press. The athlete later apologized and was slapped with a 30-day suspension. In August, Phelps was fined $40 for carrying an invalid driving license after a motorist plowed into his Escalade in Downtown Baltimore.
The stigma attached to marijuana scares many people who use medical marijuana. The main problem inhibiting legalization is that people who smoke a glass pipe are discriminated against and are not considered serious or mature. The public needs to make its choices known and make sure our voices are heard. With the economy in shambles trouble and democrats in office it is the best chance to change the laws. Send a letter, send an email make a phone call, one hand written Letter is considered to be the voice of thousands of people who did not take the time.
