Al Sharpton, Tax Protester?
Sharpton sticks it to the (tax) man:
Sharpton himself, his business entities and his nonprofit civil-advocacy group owe millions in back taxes, documents show....
As of 2006, the most recent year that financial documents for [Sharpton's National Action Newtwork] are publicly available, it owed $1.9 million in payroll taxes and penalties....
Personally, Sharpton owes $931,397 in federal taxes and $365,558 in New York City taxes, according to an IRS lien.
