Is the clown not paying his taxes?

Venezuela's tax agency SENIAT said this weekend it had closed 80 McDonald's fast-food restaurants for three days as part of a wider crackdown on tax evasion.

The restaurants were shut after the tax authority found problems related to their "purchase and sales" activities, SENIAT said in a notice posted on its Web site, without giving further details.

SENIAT has shut down the local offices of hundreds of domestic and foreign companies over the last year as part of its "Zero Evasion" campaign against widespread tax fraud in the South American country.

For all my redneck friends - maybe you wouldn't have to bitch so much about your high taxes if the U.S. would crack down on corporate tax evasion.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
