Sucks to be you - Al Sharpton

Good move -- claim to be a 'leader' and then flaunt the laws. From the New York Post:
Sharpton 538G tax bill
Al Sharpton is fending off Uncle Sam again after the IRS took legal action claiming he owes more than a half million dollars in taxes from last year.

The IRS slapped Sharpton with a lien saying he owes an estimated $538,652, the Detroit News reported.
And his non-profit is also in financial kimchee -- the Washington Post:
Sharpton's organization still paying back taxes
The Rev. Al Sharpton's civil rights organization, the National Action Network, said Tuesday that it is putting its deep financial difficulties behind it.

The statement came in response to a news report providing more details about the organization's shaky financial footing at the end of 2008. Tax records show it was constantly in debt and owed nearly $2 million in back taxes.
