Al Sharpton, Joy-Ann Reid Remain Huge New York Tax Delinquents

MSNBC national correspondent Joy-Ann Reid has yet to pay off her still open nearly $5,000 tax warrant that attracted a good bit of attention last year. Ditto for the nearly $600,000 for two tax warrants that New York lists for MSNBC host Rev. Al Sharpton.

Here is the backstory.

National Review contributor Jillian Kay Melchior created a stir on April 22, 2015 that Reid and then afternoon host Touré Neblett were in the hock with the Empire State for thousands of dollars. Melchior was apparently following up on a well-circulated report that then-host Melissa Harris Perry was just slapped with a $70,000 federal tax lien.

Some of the comments are priceless:

Willie Nelson gets almost $16 million in assets seized for back-taxes. Al Sharpton gets invited to the White House. There goes that white-privilege thing again.

No wait...

And:

Calling Al Sharpton a reverend is like calling Jeffrey Dahmer a chef. Liberals are hypocrites and morally bankrupt.

LOL

Reid has called taxes on the wealthy “a basic fairness argument,” also arguing for ‘smart spending and smart tax increases’ to create economic growth.”

Fairness to whom? Why should the unproductive be supported by the productive? Also, please explain "smart tax increases". The Constitution provides for two types of gov't activity to be funded by taxation: 1) Protection and policing of property rights (e.g., a standing military and a legal system), and 2) provision of social overhead capital (e.g., providing those goods that are deemed necessary by society but not provided by private markets). Please tell me where using tax dollars to buy cell phones for deadbeats comes in, other than to buy votes to keep your sorry ass in a job. Time to clear both parties out of office.

Both enjoy immunity due to their protective pigmentation. bammy’s way of giving them a little “reparation”.

LBJ’s “War on Poverty” has spawned all sort of new human “rights.”

I enjoyed that story.

The IRS needs to levy some assets. Or, Sharpton is immune to the laws because of the color of his skin.

So criminal black tax cheats aren’t held to account? How racist.

That’s why Al became an FBI Stoolie.

Before that, he was just stool.

NYS chased my parents down after they were living in VA for five years and threatened them over a $1,100 discrepancy. How is it that Rev Al can walk around with this leaning over his head?
