Money – The Rev. Al Sharpton has emerged over the past decade as perhaps the nation's most prominent civil rights leader, but government records obtained by The Associated Press indicate that Sharpton and his business entities owe nearly $1.5 million in overdue taxes and associated penalties.
How on EARTH does one end up owing the IRS 1.5 million dollars -- if I get a couple of thousand behind, their crawling up my butt like a proctologist!
Also -- think about how much money one has to make to end up owing that much in taxes...probably a bit more than you'd think for one who is supposedly championing the plight of the poverty stricken...
yet, isn't Sharpton one of the ones bitching that we should soak the rich more, but apparently agrees with the conservatives that his tax bite is way too high....

"Over the past year, Sharpton's lawyers and the staff of his nonprofit group, the National Action Network, have been negotiating with the federal government over the size of his debt, which they dispute. The group has also been trying to pay off tens of thousands of dollars it owes for failing to properly maintain workers compensation and unemployment insurance."
Al Sharpton irritates me, he just seems so shady. He is a detriment to the cause.
Great to see ya Susan!
Yeah where you've been Querida? I missed you.
Anyway, back to the story, Ed Koch? One of the worst mayor's of New York? Former nemesis? Now a solid, staunch, & steady, supporter of this two-bit, tax-evading,
disingenuous,
race-baiting,capricious charlatan? I would've thought you'd get wiser with age, not more dumber.
It's incredible that the national press would give "Sharptongue" any kind of attention despite the fiasco of the Tawana Brawley case that turned out to be a total farce. But I guess ignorance hasn't stopped with Ed Koch. It's spread all over the media. As long as this bird continues to bring controversy with his brand of fallacious doggerel, it's fodder for the reporters who wouldn't know the facts from fiction if it slapped them upside the head.... Disgusting!
He went to Duke after the famous lacrosse team allegations and did the Tawana number all over again down there. This loudmouth bigoted creep makes my skin crawl. He is to the civil rights movement what Coulter is to the Republicans.
"Yeah where you've been Querida? I missed you."
I missed you too, Bubeleh!
Hi Tang, good to see you too!
Back from the dead! Where you been girl? Sharpton is one of the most intelligent guys I've seen. He's no idiot. If he owes it, then let him pay it. Now if he's been pocketing the money and using it for his own personal gain then that's scandalous.
Hi jovial, glad you stopped by the thread!
First Al Franken, now Al Sharpton. Why can't these boneheads pay their taxes and cover their workers with mandated workers compensation and unemployment insurance?
Al Sharpton: Poverty pimp! Champion of his expanding waist line!
Thanks for posting it, Susan, and welcome to the vast right wing conspiracy to get Al (kidding about the latter part).
I think he's disgraceful too, can this conspiracy have a left wing? LOL
HelllllOOO SUSAN!!!
Hi Shad, lol!
