Feds Drop Their Tax Case Against Sharpton

July 23rd, 2008

The civil rights leader says he’s “grateful to God” that it’s over
Sharpton

The feds are finally giving the Rev. Al some slack. Last year, federal prosecutors announced that they had issued subpoenas to at least 10 of the Rev. Al Sharpton’s associates, demanding all records related to the civil rights leader’s personal finances, business dealings and transactions associated with his organization, the National Action Network. Sharpton has admitted being behind on his taxes, and, between the IRS, the state of New York and the city, he owes somewhere in the neighborhood of $1 million. He has also failed to file taxes for several consecutive years or to obtain workers’ compensation insurance for employees with the network. “We learn from every experience to be more cautious, more accountable,” Sharpton told The Associated Press. While the Harlem-based minister does not collect a salary from the National Action Network, he earns “several hundreds thousand dollars a year in personal income from his nationally syndicated radio show, book royalties and speaking fees,” according to AP. “I’m just grateful to God and my family, and all of our supporters” that the feds have dropped the criminal case, he said.

He needs to take care of business so this type of thing doesn’t happen again, the FEDS will continue to look at him now, he just needs to stay focused and do what needs to be done.

This thing is over untill Mr Sharpton go to battle for another cause, You can count your blessings that the FEDS allready have something else they want to stick on Mr Sharpton. It’s just a matter of the right time to stick it to him, and make no mistake there will be another injustice, Mr sharpton will go into battle , and the government will have a prepared hinderance , thorn, mountain, ocean, or bridge. For Big AL … To climb , jump, cross, and Pray thru!

You are right, Deborah. Stay focused and take care of business. Rev. Al Sharpton is a leader, so be an example, and do the right thing.

Doesn’t the Federal government have enough money? Don’t they have anything else to do besides harrass people? In fact, why not give some of the money they have to help others…that would be something good.

The Rev Sharpton didn’t do anything wrong in the first place , it was just a
witch hunt by the government to keep the good rev silence, but they didn’t
have a case…Their still going to try to get the Rev. it’s not over..
But if GOD be for you, no enemy in the universe can touch you….

This was just about intimidation anyway. They need to leave Rev. Sharpton alone. He’s the only one that will publicly stand up for black rights these days!
