Greta Asks: Why Is Sharpton Getting a Pass on Taxes from Obama's IRS?
NewsBusters.org ^ | December 23, 2014 | Tim Graham

The New York Times investigated the finances of MSNBC host Al Sharpton and his National Action network and found “$4.5 million in current state and federal tax liens against him and his for-profit businesses...Mr. Sharpton has regularly sidestepped the sorts of obligations most people see as inevitable, like taxes, rent and other bills,” and yet Sharpton “traveled first class and collected a sizable salary.”

Fox News host Greta Van Susteren took to her Facebook page to wonder why Rev. Al Sharpton’s TV paycheck isn’t getting garnished to pay his tax debts?

I have read article after article that Reverend Al Sharpton owes lots and lots of back taxes -- that means he owes you. And, to the extent he is not paying his taxes, you are picking up the tab.

The IRS and state revenue divisions need to be garnishing his wages (like it does to others who owe taxes.) Reverend Sharpton gets paid a hefty salary at MS/NBC and the IRS and state revenue divisions can find MS/NBC...it is just not that hard. (Try googling its address!)

And until he gets current in his debt to the taxpayer, he should not have "most favored nation" status with President Obama and the White House.

my understanding is that in large cases such as his automatic revocation of passport is the immediate sanction. don’t know how much he travels out of the country but this should no longer be an option for him.

heavy, you are thinking about a lawful society but not necessarily in a banana republic.
Apparently you forgot for a minute that Al Sharpton is a close personal friend of Obama and his personal emissary to the African-American community.

He will eventually be garnished.

The IRS has a process.

They are actually not out to bury people under their debt.

They want to give people the opportunity to square the debt and have several ways to accomplish this.

Paperwork shuffling.

Deferral

Offer in Comprise.

He will pay the debt and the penalties. No one get out of it.

Has Obama EVER had any close personal friends who weren't lawbreakers?

Why, doncha understand, the groups affiliated with Al Sharpton are really tax-exempt non-profits, and therefore, no taxes at all are due on the transactions. Al himself is a tax-exempt non-profit corporation, and therefore, none of the liabilities fall upon him.

Anybody that slick, must have been dipped in well-digested sewage and also exude skin secretions that would shed off Teflon. Even the “nonstick” coating can’t stick on this one.

rhetorical Gretta. Answer; because he's another black criminal, hates whitey, has connections to the same mob bosses that obozo has, hates America and the IRS knows better than to go after him. Calling Timothy Geithner, Lois Lerner, Eric Holder, Berry Sotero, Bill and Hilary Clinton.....................!!

“They want to give people the opportunity to square the debt and have several ways to accomplish this.”

And all the time they are piling on penalties and interest.

He got a pass from 0bama because obama and sharpton both hate this country and are profiting from their jobs.

Went through a 3-year long mess with the IRS over $65,000 that I disputed.

So, how does this moron get to skate??

Sharpton is getting a pass because he is part of the communists empire of King Obama. At the end of this two years King Obama will be dictator and Americans will have surrendered the Country. No willingness to take the communists on and all of Washington including most of the GOP are welcoming it.

It looks like this has been going on for awhile. Here is a story from 2010:
