--snip-- Obscured in his ascent, however, has been his troubling financial past, which continues to shadow his present.

Mr. Sharpton has regularly sidestepped the sorts of obligations most people see as inevitable, like taxes, rent and other bills. 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.

[Tennessean4Bush]

Wow. The NY Times calling him out. Hmmm.

[Fzob]

Sounds like Sharptoon should be in prison for tax evasion.

[60Gunner]

Al Sharpton is the ultimate entitlement whore.

[SkyDancer]

Another racist media attacking a black leader /sarc

Expecting a black guy to pay taxes is the epitome of racism

[ClearCase_guy]

Preach it!

Expecting a black guy to pay taxes is the epitome of racism

According to Holder's policies and beliefs, expecting a black person to be held accountable for anything illegal is the epitome of racism.

[Maceman]

Well, he may be a deadbeat, but at least he’s a total liar.

[Ditto]

Wow. The NY Times calling him out. Hmmm.

Think there will be a 'Rent a Mob' outside The Times building tomorrow demanding a retraction... and payment? ;~))

Shouldn't the good Reverend render on to Caesar what is Caesar's.

Revrunt Al has just finished his new Best Seller...which will elucidate his opnions relative to Sin and Crime...

[eartrumpet]

Sounds like Sharptoon should be in prison for tax evasion.

Can he get work release so he can attend the upcoming race riots in Ferguson?

[VRWC For Truth]

Snitch Sharptoon, raciss tool.

[golux]

Geez. You'd have thought Charlie Rangel, ie. Charles B. Rangel the money launderer, Charlie Rangel the tax evader, the subject of six issues (so far) before the House Ethics Committee having to do with hiding and laundering money - - that Charlie Rangel, the one whose name never comes up on the internet when money laundering and tax evasion are searched at the same time... Yeah! You'd have thought that Charlie Rangel, the money launderer, might have given him some advice on BERMUDA! Yeah, Bermuda! Where all the offshore banking happens! Surely someone might be willing to investigate the matter seeing as how ole Charles Rangel has been flying into Bermuda with cash once a month or so for a coupla decades and everybody knows his name there. I mean... Surely someone might be interested in interviewing a Bermuda banker about Charlie Rangel... given all the hearings and public interest and such... Surely...

[Fester Chugabrew]

Don’t worry, Al. Lois Lerner has some friends who’ll take care of that for you.

[dandiegirl]

I read about people going to JAIL for not paying child support and these democrat politicans get away with these crimes daily. He should be in jail this is ridiculous.

[Poison Pill]

Wesley Snipes went to prison for it.

[SkyDancer]

Didn’t Reid accuse Romney of not paying taxes for ten years? And didn’t Wesley Snipes land in prison? So how does Sharpie get a break? Oh, right. Racism.
