Good thing he's got friends in high places. Just imagine how he'd be treated if he wasn't
above the law.
The Rev. Al Sharpton, who has vowed to clean up his fiscal house, has a new tax lien to pay.
Sharpton owes $359,973 to the IRS for 2009 personal income tax, according to documents on file with the city.
Public records show he owes a total of $3.7 million in city, state and federal taxes, including penalties, dating to 2002. But Sharpton's spokeswoman, Rachel Noerdlinger, said that he had paid back "well over seven figures" as part of agreements with the state and IRS and that the liens remained on the books as "a matter of bureaucracy."
Sharpton made $250,000 as head of the nonprofit National Action Network in 2009, a year that ended with the group owing $1.1 million in taxes and having just $36,397 cash on hand.
Imagine if some outspoken conservative owed the IRS $3.7 million and refused to pay it. You suppose they'd be walking around freely?

I'd be thrilled to owe $3M in back taxes; that would mean that I have in my possession at least $3M to play with. Who knew there was so much money in calling people "racist"?
Those are slave taxes
Look for this story to disappear down the rabbit hole. Doesn't support the narrative.
It is too bad we have gotten so used to all these double standards. It is not remarkable that Sharpton can get away with these huge tax liens. Nor is it remarkable, Jess Jackson can get away with extortion and payoffs. Black Congressman can get away with lying about being spit on and called names. But, heck, Sarah Palin can be accused of inciting a shooter even though the shooter is politically inactive and shizophrenic.
That is just the way things work lately. Our principles are now quite flexilbe and allow for taking into account the beliefs of our actual target and the victim. It has taken years for us to have achieved such advances in our thinking.
Why is this man not in jail? I’m sure Wesley Snipes is wondering the same thing…
Robby, jail is for the little people. The rules are different for the politically powerful, like Sharpton, Rangel, and the unions who support Obama.
Ahem... Clarence Thomas is a conservative tax cheat who has been walking freely.
Two f vcking n iggers.
Blacks are really, really contemptible.
