Sharpton could help pay for Bernie's 'free stuff

If Bernie Sanders were serious about making the rich pay their fair share in taxes, he'd start with Al Sharpton.

No sooner did Sanders demolish fellow Democrat Hillary Clinton in Tuesday's New Hampshire primary, than he flew to New York to have breakfast Wednesday morning with notorious tax deadbeat Al Sharpton at Sylvia's in Harlem.

Sharpton, it is estimated, owes the government some $4.5 million in unpaid taxes, according to The New York Times.

Guess who's not going to let him pay his back taxes.

Does that $4.5 million include interest and penalties?

Now we know where Sharpton’s 4.5 mill went. I must say it looks like money well spent.

I think Sharpton is claiming as a minister he doesn’t have to pay taxes.

If it were not for double standards, the Left would not have any standards.
