Same thing that made the other 99% of people who settle with the IRS "Special". He was actually willing to settle.
I've said for a long time that background checks are useless.
I recently applied for my Illinois FOID card. You know, where you Ammosexuals complain IL has such "tough" gun laws.
I spent $11.00 and filled out a form with 13 questions, and sent them a picture of myself.
That's it.
Now, if they had done a real background check,maybe made him piss in a cup, or talked to his associates, like oh, any job would make you do before hiring you, they'd have found out he had a problem.
So you have no problem paying an equivalent of a poll tax to exercise your Constitutional rights, got it.
