Haven't we learned yet????

You don't fuck with the tax man!

The Rev. Al Sharpton and his business entities owe the gov $1.5 million in back taxes.

Wonder if there's any more room in Wesley Snipes' jail???

    Sharpton's latest adventures are just a taste of things to come. If Hussein is elected, on the day after—Sharptons, Wrights, Jacksons, Meeks's, and Farakhans will come burrowing out of the woodwork and slithering up from the sewers everywhere. We'll be up to our chins in Flav-O-Flav's, Fitty Cents, Lil Kims, & Foxy Browns. They have already declared their motto…"Now It's Our Turn"…!!! It will be a dark and sorrowful day. And a painful and dismal 4 years.

    Re: Rachel
    Churches are tax exempt here in the United States but individuals are not (don't quote me on that though). On top of it i'm not really sure often he "works" in Baptist churches. Add that to all the side work he does with talk show hosting and the such that's probably why he has to pay taxes.

    Big corporations give him money. Presidential candidates seek his endorsement. He has influential friends in Congress and the governor's mansion. The Rev. Al Sharpton has emerged over the past decade as perhaps the nation's most prominent civil rights leader, a status that was demonstrated again this week when he led protests against police brutality that briefly shut down six of Manhattan's major bridges and tunnels.
    But he still carries baggage from his early days as a fire-breathing agitator: 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.
    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.

    Debt, consistency, class, noble, sophistication—are all abstract ideas. It has not yet been proven that the simian mind can even approach thinking in the abstract. Believe me I know. I've been told I'm a freak for status symbols & couture labels, but I don't understand in the least what the first half of this sentence means.

    That moron should stop judging other people all the time when he can't even pay his damn taxes…how does he even have all kinds of money anyway. I have always wondered what exactly it was that made him famous. What does he do to earn money…can someone please tell me. This may be a dumb question but I really have no idea. The only thing that I have ever seen him do is bitch about other people because of something they have done. Yes, I do agree about equal rights and all that…but what else does this guy do?

    Re: daisy – "Those damn whites want me to pay taxes?"

    Us "damn whites" want you to pay taxes? Honey, I'm fucking porcelain white and I myself don't want to fucking pay taxes. By paying taxes my husband pays his own salary (he's in the Military). Taxes should be for the rich assholes (of ALL races) who have money to spare. Not the rest of us who work our asses off to hardly get by (again, of ALL races).

    You are clearly uneducated. Gathering all the "blacks" in Harlem and shutting down the city so you don't have to pay Taxes is asinine. Go back to school and read a little more about economics.

    This was a long time coming …. it's called karma. I will say I admire the way he stands up for those that don't have a voice of their own. But he is one loud mouth asshole and I'm sure he had this coming! With him it's not about rights , it's ALWAYS about race. And that sucks. Just because you're black doesn't mean you can use your color card to get out of jail, bend rules and break laws. AND I'm not even talking about the Sean Bell case- because that in itself was not justified. Even I would take up that cause and defend that family. But Sharpton is arrogant and annoying. Maybe this humiliation will keep him behind closed doors for awhile and out of the media.

    Re: Rachel – Rachel churches are tax exempt here also but people are not. First, he bought his "Reverend" title from the back of a box of cereal. What he really is, is a snake oil salesman. Him and Jessie Jackson, who is also a "Reverend" go around to all the corporations and make demands, like money! If they don't get what they want they organize protests. Then they start calling the companies racist and they twist their arms until they get whatever it is they are after, and normally it is money. They shake down companies and get away with it because of our PC media. A few years back Jackson did this to the Honda Corp. He said there wasn't enough blacks in their management and started protesting all their plants and offices. So they "donated" a Billion Dollars, yes BILLION, to his rainbow coalition and the protests stopped. They do this all the time to hundreds of other companies and the media just looks the other way. They basically go around shaking down companies for cash and if they don't get it they start calling them racists.

    Once as a young child (with the same weird hotcomb comb-back), Al Sharpton was introduced to the already adult Louis Farrakhan. Always possessing a healthy sense of humor, Farrakhan told the young Alfred to pull his finger, which he did. And it was at that instant, on that date that Louis Farrakhan farted and shat out the infant that would later run for president as Barack Hussein Obama.

From organizing a clusterfuck to running a country, people like you and Rev Alfred (and there are multitudes like you) are just the liabilities that will ruin even what good intentions Hussein may have.
