kindred - it is all very, very sad and evil.
He’s in jail for mail fraud, tax fraud and various other crimes.stinkerpot65 isn't sure what is true:
Should’nt Al Sharpton and many of the left wing politicians be in jail for the very exact same crime? Of course they should, but they are democrats who walk and now the system is collapsing and it is all very, very sad and evil.
Looking at his Wikipedia, sound like he was living off cash from his business without reporting it as income, all the while owing back taxes and not paying them.kiryandil is sure, though!
Sounds like he is a bit of a kook, but the IRS and Federal prosecutors are completely corrupt.
Hard to know ...
Yes, because we should believe EVERYTHING that the lying felonious, incompetent, malicious scum in the IRS tell us.kiryandil knows what it means when tax fraud gets you in jail:
Look up "anarcho-tyranny" and "Managerial State" on Wikipedia.Busko - blacks and women don't need to pay taxes:
You'll begin to understand what's going on.
His crime seems to be that he is a white man that didn’t pay his taxes. Why is Sharpton and Jackson and the Clintons still walking around free?freedom6178 - there can be no law while liberals walk free:
Kent Hovind is in jail while Obama and Hillary walk around giving us the finger everyday.Zionist Conspirator is oppressed even by his fellow Freepers:
There are plenty of FReepers who would like all creationists treated in a similar manner.GraceG warns of creeping Mayanism:
He should have changed his name to Sanchez and told his students that the great serpent Kuklakhan created the world by throwing it up or whatever the mayan creation myth is, then he would be applauded for teaching diverse cultural stuff...Right-wing Librarian doesn't seem to believe in criminal laws:
Which parts of the Constitution did Kent Hovind violate?Right-wing Librarian has a really simple worldview:
This was Free Republic the last time I checked, not Free Government. The Constitution was supposedly designed to keep the government off the backs of the people. I keep this concept in mind whenever there is a dispute between the government and the people.Right-wing Librarian sees no morality to taxes:
I am not politically connected, so I pay my taxes, early and often. But I do have profound respect for the Founding Fathers (the scumbags of their day in the eyes of the Loyalists) who rebelled against the most powerful government on earth and their lawfully-implemented taxes.
Why isn't Al Sharpton in jail? he owes 4.5 million in taxes..if any of us owed a 1/10 of that we would be in the big house.
ReplyDeleteYou may want to read this:

Also, maybe he is working on paying whatever he owes? Hovind purposely tried to withhold taxes from the IRS and had to be dragged into court.
I bet Al was purposely trying to withold taxes as well..and he is paying down his tax bill per snopes..so what/ If a regular joe owed that kind of money he/she would be in jail..the IRS though wont go after Al because he is black.
DeleteAnd I bet Hovind hid a lot less money than the HNIC AL
Willie Nelson, famous country singer, owed 16 million in back taxes. Did he go to "the big house"?
DeleteI'm no big Sharpton fan, but in this the umbrage seems rather conveniently focussed.
DeleteA well connected individual underpaying taxes? Oh my stars and garters!
"I bet Al was purposely trying to withold taxes"
DeleteYour suspicions are meaningless.
I'll bet you are a serial rapist. Lets discuss that.
@anon1, Baseless speculation on your part. If someone makes an effort to pay taxes, why would the IRS throw them in prison? Besides, even if the IRS is keeping him out of prison for something they would have sent someone else to prison for, it would have more to do with his being famous than with the color of his skin.
DeleteCelebrities, white and black who went to prison owing a lot less than AL. Face it Al get's pass because of who he is..many institutions are afraid of him.
DeleteAlso in the case of Willie, Price Waterhouse was behind much of that screwup..they underpaid his taxes among other things.
The world would be much better off with A Sharpton gone..

AL is a lying scumbag conman..Twana Brawly for starters and Freddies fashion mart where people got killed due to his actions.
I can't believe the left lifts this conman up..
Again, though, you have no proof of the $4.5 million. And your speculation of institutions fearing him is, once again, baseless.
Deleteanon1, you are just making things up. What is wrong with you? Do you need a nap?
DeleteNoting that some other celebrities have gotten in trouble over taxes.doesn't change the fact that most of the rich play quite fast and loose with the rules.
DeleteIs Sharpton among them? Wouldn't surprise me. But it certainly wouldn't make him special.
It's funny his even when someone offers lots.of reasons to legitimately dislike them, it's never enough, and further reasons are soon manufactured.
anon1, please address the two points euphgeek made concerning your baseless accusations. Thank you.

is that all you circle jerks have? Good old Al's office burned own twice destroying tax records and 10 of his business associates have have grand jury supoenas..
I have never lost any business records, never been audited, never been charged with any crime except a few traffic tickets and do not know a single person as a close friend who has ever been arrested for anything other than traffic tickets.
Again, can't believe you folks hoist sharpton up on a pedestal.
Obviously anon1 doesn't understand the difference between non-payment of taxes and tax evasion. One is where you're not current with your taxes. The other is when you fraudulently submit your taxes knowing your return is false.
DeleteOne you go to jail for. The other you usually don't go to jail for.
I'm not surprised by anon1's failure to grasp simple concepts of taxation. He's not a very smart individual. That's why he's posting links to Fox News.
LOL Sharpton has evaded taxes on purpose for years.what about all the payroll taxes that was funneled from his employees and not sent in to the gov't in NYC but used to pay company expenses?
DeleteEVERY SINGLE Sharpton business has had tax problems and most have been dissolved..why is that?
http://www.nationalreview.com/article/397681/busted-jillian-kay-melchior
"Good old Al's office burned own twice destroying tax records..."
DeletePure speculation. Did you respond to your cases involving rape?
"...and 10 of his business associates have have grand jury supoenas."
Whatever a supoena is, but that doesn't necessarily mean a crime was committed. And that was eight years ago and still no charges brought.
"I have never lost any business records, never been audited, never been charged with any crime except a few traffic tickets and do not know a single person as a close friend who has ever been arrested for anything other than traffic tickets."
I'd LOVE to know what business you're in. I'm sure it's highly profitable. Maybe you don't get audited because you don't have any money! They're not worried about you. They would be worried about non-payment of taxes, say, from a multi-million dollar organization created to defend civil rights who takes unprecedented action in very controversial cases (i.e.: Trayvon Martin).
Again, go back to FR where everyone agrees with you and facts elude. The adults are talking.
If you Google "Al Sharpton taxes," you'll find each and every article anon1 has posted here! No kidding!
DeleteIt's like, do you even research bro?
P.S.: anon1, you missed this one on the first page:

You've posted the other three links from the first page of the Google search "Al Sharpton taxes," why not post the one in the middle?!?
Again, can't believe you folks hoist sharpton up on a pedestal.
DeleteNobody here has. That's your strawman argument.
EVERY SINGLE Sharpton business has had tax problems and most have been dissolved..why is that?
Apparently National Review doesn't know either. All they have is speculation based on incomplete information.
I guarantee I make more than you and have more assets than you ever will have.
DeleteBTW I am not a big fan of freepers..been booted from there at least 3 times...but I know a con artist and Al is a con artist..
Again why did he funnel hundreds of thousands of dollars that was supposed to pay employees payroll taxes and use them for his own expenses? Why did NY city go after him for the money?
Can't believe you folks are sticking up for this grifter.
I said: Again, can't believe you folks hoist sharpton up on a pedestal.
DeleteYou said: Nobody here has. That's your strawman argument.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
You are sticking up for Sharpton by discounting every comment and link I have made against him so in affect you are hoisting him up.
The guy has a history of tax problems, troubles with the law, every company has run afoul of the law somehow and yet you continue to deny deny deny.
You are so against me you deny deny deny Al's con man troubles over the years
So let me get your argument straight...you're saying that Al Sharpton has cheated on his taxes to the tune of $4.5 million. You offer no proof of this or any other wrongdoing by Sharpton, only speculation. But the reason he hasn't been arrested and sent to prison is because...he's black? Are you seriously claiming that the IRS is so afraid of him that they will excuse any crime he commits because they're terrified of being called racists? If blackness was all it took to avoid prison, why is Jesse Jackson Jr. there?
DeleteAll we're saying, is that perhaps there's a more logical reason, one based in reality.
Hey Euphgeek:
DeleteIN this CNN article, second paragraph, Al admitted he owned 4.5 million back in 2008 but has been paying it back (but at what rate)
So if Al admitted he owed 4.5 million in taxes are you going to deny it?
http://www.cnn.com/2014/11/19/politics/al-sharpton-finance/
Well he owed at least 1.5 million to NYC and Federal gov't because they both sued him for that amount.
DeleteThat indicates he didn't think he owed that amount, and wanted a court to decide the matter. Still no proof that he set out to defraud the IRS.
No not because he is black but because he is a race pimp and people are afraid of him lest they be called racist.
And you think the IRS would be afraid of being called racist because...?
Jesse jr was a nobody
He's the son of Jesse Jackson Sr! Also, he was a congressman. Certainly not "a nobody."
Al has stayed at the White House as a personal friend of Obama..do you really think some IRS beaureucrat is going to risk his career going after Sharpton with Obama in the WH?
I think the IRS would go after Obama himself if there was proof he was cheating on his taxes. The president is not a dictator. He can't call in special favors to allow his friends to commit crimes.
Al admitted he owned 4.5 million back in 2008 but has been paying it back
Yes, but there's no proof he still owes that much, which was your original statement.
"Jesse jr was a nobody..."
Delete>U.S. Representative from Chicago.
>Nobody
Again, as I have said before, you're not a smart person. When you get a thought? Just let it go.
Also, if Sharpton owed $4.5 million in 2008, why didn't the IRS under George W. Bush put him in prison then? Surely you're not suggesting Sharpton was BFFs with Bush?
DeleteJesse jr was a nobody..no power..does not matter who his dad was. Jr was not in the power structure.
DeleteIt's also been reported he was thrown under the bus by his own party to get other people in office.
and yes Al is personal friends with Obama so no career IRS person is going to risk his career going after him..
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I think the IRS would go after Obama himself if there was proof he was cheating on his taxes. The president is not a dictator. He can't call in special favors to allow his friends to commit crimes.

>>>>>>>>>have you not read anything I said? No one will go against Sharpton because he will label them racist..especially a republican. Al has a pocket full of monoply get out of jail free cards..race cards.
A sitting U.S. congressman has no power, huh? Do you see yet how ridiculous you're sounding?
DeleteObama pulled back the IRS going after Wall Street Elites who committed fraud.
The president is still not a dictator. He can't tell the IRS to allow individuals to commit crimes. As far as Wall Street goes, they pretty much own the government anyway, no matter who's in power.
have you not read anything I said?
DeleteOh, believe me, I have. And I've been chuckling at it all along.
Yes, but there's no proof he still owes that much (4.5 million), which was your original statement.
Delete>>>>why then why asked by the CNN reporeette how much he owed he did not respond..only saying he was paying it down. I would think if he paid most of it off he would stress that fact..that leads me to think he still owes most of it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He can't tell the IRS to allow individuals to commit crimes.
>>>>Are you that naieve Euph? Serious. he does not have to tell them. Do you really think some career IRS agent is going to go after Obama's personal friend? Do you not understand how these things work in the real world. I have personal friends in fed gov't jobs and they tell me how beaucratic it is..smallest things can end your career..you keep your mouth shut if you want to keep your job and get ahead
--------------------------------------------------------------------
A sitting U.S. congressman has no power, huh?
>>some do, some don't don't..depends on your district, how long you have been in, what committees you are on etc
So again, all you offer is speculation as to why Sharpton is not in prison. You have no proof of anything you say. You offer the most ridiculous theories, but you can't face that the truth might be simply that he has committed no crimes. You have already tried and convicted him in your head, and that's all the proof you need.
DeleteHe did commit a crime and NY went after him for it..he did not pay $563k in employee payroll taxes...look it up..
Deleteand he admits to not paying 4.5 million in taxes if that is not a crime..again if you or I owed 1/10 of that amount we would be in jail.
I had some respect for you euph..in the past..did not agree with your politics but to stand up for this shyster is beyond me.
Anon1 has no idea of the difference between tax evasion and tax fraud. One is a civil penalty, one is a criminal offense.
DeleteWhich did Sharpton commit? I'm not sure Anon1 even knows - or cares. But the DoJ does.
Flail some more.
Anon1 has no idea of the difference between tax evasion and tax fraud. One is a civil penalty, one is a criminal offense.
Delete>>>>>>>>>>>>Wrong grasshopper... here are the penalties for both tax fraud and tax evasion per the IRS..both have jail terms..
http://www.tax-whistleblower.com/tax-fraud/
What's beyond me is that you come up with all sorts of crazy theories as to why Sharpton is not in prison. Why don't you show me exactly where in the law it says that anyone who owes more than a certain amount to the IRS must go to prison.
DeleteWhether or not Al Sharpton goes to prison is a matter beneath my notice. I don't care one way or the other. I just call out conspiracy theory bullshit when I see it.
What's beyond me is that you come up with all sorts of crazy theories as to why Sharpton is not in prison.
Delete>>>>>>>>>>>No conspiracy theory..people are afraid of him. Here are 6 people, white and black who owed way less in taxes than Sharpton.

http://www.foxbusiness.com/personal-finance/2015/02/05/people-jailed-for-owing-less-taxes-than-al-sharpton/
Prove it. Show me the law that says anyone who owes more than a certain amount to the IRS must go to prison.
DeleteProve it. Show me the law that says anyone who owes more than a certain amount to the IRS must go to prison.
Delete>>>>>>>>>>>>why did the 6 people above go to prison..who owed much less than Sharpton go to prison? And everyday people who do a lot less go to prison..a jeweler in my town did not pay workers comp and other taxes on his employees for 2 years and he went to jail for 6 months..
Again why is the IRS not jailing sharpton because if you or I owed 4.5 million we would be in jail..Willie Nelson owed 16 mil but it was proven his accountants, Price Waterhouse screwed up and where underpaying.
Sharpton has along history with every one of his business to be in tax troubles.
All of you can have the last word..stick up for the con man shyster
DeleteAll this leaving out, of course, that anon1 and the collective Freepers' entire so-called point is a massive tu quoque.
DeleteWhich shouldn't be all that surprising, as "look at this thing over here that some left-winger did at one point, that now justifies anything any right winger feels like doing anytime ever" has been ideological boilerplate for years now.
why did the 6 people above go to prison...
DeleteNo, show me the law that says anyone who owes more than a certain amount must go to prison. I don't care about the 6 other people. Each case is different.
All of you can have the last word.
Well, I suppose that's one way of admitting you have no proof Sharpton did anything worthy of prison.
This has been very entertaining!
DeleteAnon1 trying to prove he's not a FReeper, when he presents some of the most obvious characteristics of being one: absolute lack of understanding simple concepts, dropping the n-bomb, superficial 'research' when utilizing a simple Google search, combative and always needing to get the last word.
Why do you claim that you're not a FReeper when it's SO obvious that you are?!
Oz, have you ever seen this?! It's basically a thorough break-down of the whole FR experience!!! It ends at about 2010, but still fascinating, the work that this author put into research about FR.
