Robert Redford is suing New York state related to the sale of Sundance Channel. The actor-director sued the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance in Albany County Supreme Court on July 30 claiming that he's being overtaxed on money his company made when it sold off a stake in the channel in 2005.

Tea bagger.

[driftdiver]

oh thats funny

[blueunicorn6]

My my my.....likes to spend other people’s tax money for his purposes.

[Veggie Todd]

I see his point. He’s a resident of Utah. How can New York tax him?

[minnesota_bound]

Pay your “fair share”!

[TexasCajun]

What about all the starving children in New York, mostly Black,you tell us you care so much about? ...you must be racist!

Don't you have enough money already? ...how much is enough?

It's only fair you pay New York, you cheap one percenter!

The most dangerous place in the world is between a liberal and THEIR money.

They are fine with spending everyone else’s though.

[Hoodat]

Sounds like someone doesn’t want to pay his fair share.

ROBERT REDFORD This is perfect. Why didn’t we think of it sooner? This town still has some charm left, not the mess we turned Park City into.

PHYLLIS Forgive me for being observant, but, won’t we just end up doing the same thing to this town?

ROBERT REDFORD Yes. And the town after, and the town after that. Like termites, we will move this film festival from town to town until we have used it up. And then move on, until every quiet mountain town is like Los Angeles.

PHYLLIS Why? Why would we do such a thing?

ROBERT REDFORD Because we have to live in L.A. And if we can’t live in quiet, simple, peaceful mountain towns, then nobody will! Waitwaitwait. Zoom in to a close-up of my face when I do that. Ready? Then NOBODY will! That’s it.

Rush is a citizen of Florida. His program is broadcast in NY. Why is he audited each and every year by NY? Because they can. Methinks Mr. Red fern is gonna pay.

[V_TWIN]

“He’s a resident of Utah. How can New York tax him?”

Ive heard Rush talk about this, IIRC Rush says NY taxes him every time he enters the state or some such. Just like during the superbowl, NJ taxed the players on what they made for the game because the got paid in their state............NY/NJ = greedy bastardz

[RckyRaCoCo]

Women and minorities hurt most...also throwing granny off the cliff and starving “the children”...just another old d@mned neanderthal leather-faced racist white guy.

[morphing libertarian]

Where is sundance hq

[Uncle Miltie]

Shut up and pay Big Brother. You support his confiscation of everyone else’s wealth. Enjoy it yourself. Or repudiate your former leftism.

[1Old Pro]

1 percenter :(

[A message]

How unpatriotic. And here I thought Redford was a good little progressive government stooge.

[newnhdad]

leatherface is complaining about paying taxes while he demonizes people that don’t want to pay high taxes...

this is my shocked face>

[Busko]

Correct, he is just another piece of hollywood crap.

[ArcadeQuarters]

Stingy rich liberals.
