You: "A hedge fund just settled for underreporting $2 billion. No criminal charges. Paid over ten years, interest-free."
IRS: "Different circumstances."
You: "What's different? We both owed money we didn't pay on time."

You: "Then why does equal treatment cost different amounts depending on who you are?"
IRS: "Payment's due the 15th."
