postheadericon A model for society – Sharpton owes overdue taxes

You have to love it when someone who maintains a “holier than thou” attitude and portrays themselves as a pillar of society is found to be anything but that.  Not generally reported by the mainstream media, it has recently been reported that the Reverand Al Sharpton owes a little bit of overdue taxes.

Sharpton’s own debts include $365,558 owed in New York City income tax and $931,397 in unpaid federal income tax, according to a lien filed by the Internal Revenue Service last spring. His for-profit company, Rev. Al Communications, owes the state another $175,962 in delinquent taxes.

In December, Sharpton revealed that as many as 10 of his associates had received grand jury subpoenas. A person familiar with the investigation told the AP that the FBI and IRS are probing whether Sharpton or his organization committed tax crimes or violations related to his 2004 presidential campaign, during which he was forced to return public matching funds for breaking fundraising rules.

And this man believes that he should speak for those that have been wronged when he doesn’t even have his own house in order?  He has a history of tax problem going back almost 20 years!  Click here to read the story
