Help those in need. Settle the taxes later.
What do you think? I heard on NPR that many people, especially in the fishing industry, are having trouble making claims because they were operating on a cash basis, not paying taxes, and therefore can't prove their income. There's talk of an amnesty for these tax evaders, so they can be helped in this time of crisis.
I have mixed feelings about this. Poll will follow.

I'm confused. If they have no proof they were injured by the spill how are they going to be compensated? Do we just stick it to BP and say they must compensate anyone who says they were injured?I think they are entitled to compensation from BP, but amnesty for tax evasion shouldn't be granted. Just because they have committed a crime doesn't mean they shouldn't get compensation when they themselves are a victim of a crime. That's like saying the police shouldn't prosecute people who murder thieves.

They don't need amnesty from the IRS. If they can't prove their claims (for any reason, honest or otherwise), then they shouldn't be entitled to compensation from BP. That's just how our legal system operates; the burden of proof is on the plaintiff. If they can prove their claims, then they should be entitled to compensation from BP and the IRS should audit them.

As far as a thief being murdered, there are times it shouldn't be prosecuted. If someone breaks into my home to steal from me, I have every right to shoot him dead.

Yes, because ideally, this should be between BP and the people harmed. The government is involved, but the damage portion is not really a government issue even though it has been politicized.
