Rev. Al Sharpton owes millions in taxes


An investigation by The New York Times found that Rev. Al Sharpton owes more than $4.5 million in current state and federal taxes.

The figure includes taxes from Sharpton's personal income as well as from his for-profit company, Raw Talent and Revals Communications. Sharpton apparently owes more than $3 million in personal federal tax liens and $777,657 in state tax liens. Raw Talent and Revals Communications, meanwhile, owe another $717,329 in state and federal tax liens.
Sharpton's non-profit company, the National Action Network, has apparently underpaid the government federal taxes as well. The National Action Network's tax liability increased from $900,000 in 2003 to almost $1.9 million in 2006.

Poor old Rev Al, dedicates his life to the underclass while only keeping enough to maintain bare subsistence and those honky IRS people want him to pay taxes like a white man.

He's a racist and a cheat! Like there's a difference

GOP Rep. Grimm Indicted on Federal Tax Fraud Charges


Michael Grimm, a Republican U.S. congressman from New York, was indicted on fraud charges in connection with a Manhattan fast-food restaurant he owns, according to court documents unsealed on Monday. He faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
The charges follow a federal probe of Grimm's fundraising that has been going on for more than two years and Brooklyn U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch told reporters a "larger investigation" is still continuing.


Grimm, a former Marine who subsequently worked as an FBI agent, was elected in 2010 with a wave of conservative "Tea Party" Republicans advocating low taxes and government spending.

In January, he generated headlines when he threatened to throw a television reporter off a balcony after an interview in the U.S. Capitol on the night of President Barack Obama's State of the Union address. The incident was caught on camera.

Prosecutors said Grimm and his restaurant, Healthalicious, under-reported wages paid to workers, many of whom did not have legal status in the United States. They said many of the wages were paid in cash.

Grimm and the restaurant also concealed from federal and New York state authorities more than $1 million in gross receipts, prosecutors said.

The 20-count indictment says Grimm oversaw the restaurant's day-to-day operations between 2007 and 2010, just after he left the FBI. It also charges Grimm with lying under oath in January 2013 about his role in the restaurant.

Grimm, who represents a district that covers Staten Island and southern Brooklyn, is free on a $400,000 bond.

He appeared briefly in federal court on Monday dressed in a dark gray suit and striped blue tie. He stood with his hands folded in front of him as he responded to a judge's questions.

"As a former FBI agent, Representative Grimm should understand the motto: fidelity, bravery, and integrity. Yet he broke our credo at nearly every turn," said George Venizelos, who runs the FBI's New York office.

"Representative Grimm lived by a new motto: fraud, perjury, and obstruction," Venizelos said.

Grimm's attorney William McGinley declined to comment on Monday. On Friday, he condemned the expected charges as a "politically driven vendetta" against the congressman.

One of Grimm's fundraisers, Diana Durand, was arrested in January on charges that she illegally funneled more than $10,000 to his campaign. On Friday, a grand jury indicted Durand on charges that she made campaign contributions that exceeded federal caps in 2010.

Urgent: Should Obamacare Be Repealed? Vote Here Now!

JFlorio Loc: Seminole Florida

I will be all for Grimm going to jail if found guilty. At least he's being investigated and doesn't have Obama covering for him. Ill leave you now so you can go back to listening to your Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton tapes.

I guess he thought Race-Baiting was an untaxed profession.

JFlorio, it's ok for Sharpton to cheat on taxes bring false charges against 4 innocent white men,(Tawana Brawley), and get tax exempt status on some of his holdings,(claiming he's a rev.), but the liberals will never mention this. How about tax whiz Tim Geitner, Obama keeps a known tax fraud as the head of every American paying taxes. I'm just waiting for the Twilight Zone music to start any minute now. Sharpton, Jackson and the rest of these gutter snipes are the lowest form of carbon based units ever. I agree with you 100%.

Hartbreaker

Because he knows where the bodies are buried. Too many politicians owe him too much.

Dave Loc: Upstate New York

Do they visit Obama in the White House? Are they calling for the government to raise taxes? Are they calling for the taxpayers to give more to welfare, food stamps, section 8 and all the other entitlements? Is there no limit to your ability to be duped?

johnson90

Is that really true? Looks just like him! I liked him much better as Buckwheat...lol

Trooper745 Loc: Carolina

That's the best defense of the tax cheat Sarpton that you can come up with? The white republican you mention, Grimm, who owes well under a million dollars in taxes, is under indictment, and if convicted, will be fined and almost certainly jailed. The black democrat Sharpton owes well over $6 million, and there is no one even talking of indicting the shyster preacher.

It's a new program:

"Affirmative Action Sentencing Guidelines"

This program is supported by everyone that thinks that blacks are inferior to whites and should therefore be held to a lower standard.

** I guess since I benefitted from AA and was a top of the class type, being that I am still inferior according to your logic, how should I view those who always scored lower and acheived less? I await your response. By the way, Colin Powell supports AA and was even booed when he stated as much at the republican national convention.....would you say as a four-star general and Chairman of the Joint Cheifs of Staff, that he was/is also inferior for supporting AA? Again, I await your response**
