This isn’t new news. The ‘Rev’ has owed the IRS huge sums of money for years. Here’s a story from — cough – NBC News’ website in 2008 detailing the $1.5 million owed by Sharpton personally and his “business entities” at the time. At the end of 2011 (by which point Sharpton had been hired as a host on NBC’s cable “news” network) Sharpton’s unpaid tab had swelled to nearly $3 million. Three more years have since elapsed, so it’s time for an update (via the New York Post):
The Rev. Al Sharpton, along with his nonprofit National Action Network and two for-profit firms, have $4.7 million in outstanding debt and liens, according to federal and state tax records, the New York Post reported on Sunday. Among the debts include $806,875 that Sharpton owes the state, along with $2.6 million in federal liens against him for unpaid personal income taxes, the Post stated. Recent filings showed the National Action Network owed $813,576 to the federal government at the end of 2012, and his company Rev-Al Communications owes $447,826 to the state, while the Bo-Spanky Consulting firm has $18.21 in outstanding debt, according to the Post.
Sharpton — a prominent hoax perpetrator, race riot fomenter, and alleged drug trade-enabler-turned-FBI informant — insists the actual sum he owes is “significantly less” than public records indicate, and that the debts are “being paid down.” The MSNBC host is, naturally, an ardent advocate for raising taxes on “the rich.” Here he is holding forth on wealthy people’s duty to “sacrifice,” and (deliciously) attacking Mitt Romney for, er, not paying enough in taxes:

Anyone surprised?
Laws are only for the peasants, not the ruling class.
Some have enemys at the IRS...... Some have FRIENDS at the IRS..
The IRS are populated by Al’s homies..
But then again, if the Republicrats should take the White Hut and both houses of Congress and make a move to prosecute the Rev POS they will be called “racist”.
So in reality, the no good son of a bitch is home free regardless who is in power.
Was that racist?
Sorry, but that just seems to be the way it is, nowadays.
(And I refuse to refer to that charlatan as a "Reverend". If he's a man of God, then I'm the Pope.)
He’s still alive?
Last picture I saw of him he looked like he was on deaths door and had one foot inside.
‘Not very economically patriotic’: Robert Redford sues to avoid paying taxes
Nope. Not at all.
Another liberal NOT paying taxes. Will he be charged?
This will never, ever be paid. Unless Sharpton turns into a white man.
i will smile the day the worms begin feasting on him.
RE: He’s still alive?
I guess you haven’t been at least turning to MSNBC lately...
Good on you...
And as long as Holder is AG.
It surprised me to find out that they are still on the air with a viewing public of three people with two of them on the edge.
Wesley snipes must be really pissed off.
