Searched and didn't see a thread on it.

(CNN) -- Civil rights leader and MSNBC host Al Sharpton and his for-profit business owe more than $4.5 million in current state and federal taxes, according to a New York Times report out Tuesday.
His tax liabilities come despite making a hefty salary, and he and his nonprofit advocacy organization, National Action Network, have been missing payments to hotels, landlords and travel agencies, the report says.
Sharpton has been a regular face in New York and Washington political circles. The report points out that President Barack Obama has raised money for Sharpton's group, and that Sharpton attended the recent announcement that Loretta Lynch would be the White House's pick to be the next Attorney General.
Sharpton's former aide Rachel Noerdlinger is also adviser to the wife of New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, Chirlane McCray.
Sharpton has said he's paying back the money, thanks in part to help from more donations to his organization. He said he also lent money to the group, and didn't take a salary at times.
"You can say I'm not a great administrator," he told the paper. "You can't say that I'm not committed."
Sharpton is expected to speak to the media later Wednesday in New York in regards to the pending grand jury decision in Ferguson, Missouri, regarding police officer Darren Wilson.

Hasn't Sharpton supposedly been advising Obama on immigration as well as on the Ferguson matter?

I don't think he ever paid up in the Tawana Brawley defamation lawsuit.

That's the least of the accusations that could be leveled at this man but it seems to be the one he's allowing without a retort of racism.

I am certain the money is in the same place as the fricks he gives.

he's been in tax trouble for over a decade, nothing ever comes of it...he still hasn't paid a penny of the defamation judgment against him
you think the Obama irs is going to even waste one second on Sharpton?

its pretty easy for the wealthy to accumulate debts and not have to pay them, i.e. its cheaper to pay the lawyer than to pay the debts.

Hasn't Sharpton been riding Obama's coattails to squeeze money out of every possible person, organization, and company he can

So how or why don't they garnish his wages like the deadbeat dad that doesn't pay his child support?

lawyers.
Seriously.
Its unacceptable that anyone could rack up that much debt to the gov't and not be at least garnished. But the reality is, its pretty common.
I would be fine with jailing those who rack up huge debts on taxes and don't pay.

Except for the part about it being illegal for almost 200 years. It still happens though so you do have hope

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that fat/emaciated liberal piece of shite say certain people weren't "paying their fair share," I would have $4.5M.
Piece of liberal, democrat shite.

Sharpton is and always has been a fraud and a shyster.

Which are the perfect credentials for someone to be a trusted advisor to Baraaq Hussein Obama.
