Rev. Al Sharpton owes millions in taxes


Posted: Nov 18, 2014

An investigation by The New York Times found that Rev. Al Sharpton owes more than $4.5 million in current state and federal taxes.

The figure includes taxes from Sharpton's personal income as well as from his for-profit company, Raw Talent and Revals Communications. Sharpton apparently owes more than $3 million in personal federal tax liens and $777,657 in state tax liens. Raw Talent and Revals Communications, meanwhile, owe another $717,329 in state and federal tax liens.

Sharpton's non-profit company, the National Action Network, has apparently underpaid the government federal taxes as well. The National Action Network's tax liability increased from $900,000 in 2003 to almost $1.9 million in 2006.

 

 

Guess the Reverend is too busy trying to stir up racial tensions in Missouri and anywhere else he "believes" he is needed.  Maybe his friends, Obama, Holder, and Jackson, will bail  him out?

Ask Steven Pagones about Sharpton and his record of responsibility - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
Sharpton never paid the $65,000 that he was ordered to pay Steven Pagones for damages suffered when Sharpton and others made defamatory statements about Pagones during the Tawana Brawley debacle. In 2001, OTHER people paid the $65K on Sharpton's behalf. The things Sharpton has done and the way he conducts himself make me sick.

Another example of cronies - me

...like Sharpton who glorify themselves and what they do - when they are just common scum. Why isn't he in jail or being prosecuted? Why isn't there a lien against his house? Why isn't the IRS going after him, they go after others for much less...

Apparently they have - sm

Did you note in the OP that he owes fed, etc., taxes? I would think they would know that because the IRS is investigating.

Why is this on the gab board?

umm...there ARE liens against him - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
"Records reviewed by The New York Times show more than $4.5 million in current state and federal tax liens against him and his for-profit businesses."

All you have to do is click on the New York Times link in the OP's article. There, it discloses his myriad financial problems, the issues over which he has been forced to testify, and the fact that he has both white and black friends, including, but not limited to, Mayor de Blasio of NYC, and Andrew Cuomo, the Governor of New York.

why did you bring race into this? - sm

Why do you say: "the Reverend is too busy trying to stir up racial tensions...?" What does that have to do with tax evasion? And why do you go on to mention his black friends, Obama, Holder, and Jackson. Certainly, the man has a number of white friends. Can you make your bias any clearer?

It would be just as easy - and more factual - to say "the Reverend is too busy not paying his taxes."

Sure Sharpton has white friends - I think the term would be "token." - Ugly Truth

Sharpton is racist against white people. He is the first to play the race card. He is a media whore and he DOES stir up racial tensons. If you sneeze on an African-American, you can bet Al Sharpton will show up, media in tow, crying racism!

Calling him "reverend" is obscene!

Not the OP, but probably because it is especially - irritating that Al often

[ In Reply To ..]
seems to be sticking his nose into issues as an "advocate" for the black community and creates racial tension in situations where it may not even have existed originally. It irritates me because I don't believe he is sincere, but involves himself in order to keep a high profile. No doubt that the high profile was instrumental in getting him his cable show, for which he probably earns a nice chunk of change. Everyone knows controversial figures make for good TV, right? It is in Al's financial interest to remain controversial. What better way to remain controversial than to stir up the race issue, even when it's not there? Now with all that, in my opinion, ill-gotten gain, why isn't he paying his taxes? I don't think he's a sincere advocate for anyone other than himself, and I think he has done more harm than good as far as race relations go.
