$880,000 in unpaid federal payroll taxes

The treasurer or similar responsible officer of an organization is personally responsible for making sure payroll taxes are paid. This is an exception to the rule that debts of a business are not debts of its employees or officers.

He doesn't like to pay the court judgements against him either. What a shakedown racket he has going.

Sounds like any other company going under still paying their CEO tons of money.

Such a racist attack against the honorable reverend should not be tolerated

Nemo's Brother:
Sharpton and the left that support him have done far more harm to racial relations than the KKK could ever do.

Yes because Al Sharpton rounded up a bunch of white people and lynched them

Wait -- I thought we admired and respected the well-to-do. Why is Sharpton different?

What could it be, what could it be?

Hobodeluxe: so rev Al is a typical Republican? Is that what subby is saying?

More like the typical left-wing hypocrite.

Damn those evil for-profit corporations...oh wait.

/a non-profit can be gamed easier than corporation.

How so?

Demands that rich people like himself pay more taxes and then figure out ways to avoid paying those taxes he called for

lawboy87: In the end, it's all about convincing your target audience that you represent or serve them in some way and hit them up for money for doing so.

So, exactly like politics, then?

According to the GOP, people who make less than $250k/year are not rich.

Remember?

Having just disentangled myself from a non-profit, there's a lot of room for corruption and graft within them. Especially at the upper levels.

It is kind of cool that you can tell who's out to score partisan bonus points by who ignores this and goes straight for the "lol librulz 1% hurrr..."

This is one of those threads where people just go ahead and say "please flag me in pink so you know not to take me seriously later."

TheGreatGazoo: I thought you had to have a divinity degree to be called Reverend?

Not sure what it takes to be called a 'Bishop' outside of the Catholic church.

/Pay your damned taxes. I don't care if you live off of ramen noodles, the IRS and state get theirs first.

Not really.

You can call yourself whatever the hell you want in America.

For instance, some people who run militias call themselves Colonels even though they never held such a rank in any branch of the US Military.

Sharpton was realy good in the chris rock movie 'Good Hair'

Freddie's Fashion Mart (pops)
/that is all

salvador.hardin: Nemo's Brother: Rich Democrats never pay taxes. No wonder they don't give a shiat what the tax rate is. Has the left any shame? Or will they just call the news article racist, like they have Sharpton's entire political career?

Sharpton and the left that support him have done far more harm to racial relations than the KKK could ever do.

People have been calling this "news" article racist for Sharpton's entire political career? Did the article travel back in time?

The "people are racist because black people make them racist" argument is one of my favorites. It is a beautiful combination of circular logic and willful disregard of pertinent facts. Justice Thomas, for example, believes that black people are regarded as less productive and less qualified because affirmative action has convinced white people that black people need a leg up to get ahead. He gets there by completely ignoring the fact that these same people believed in this same inherent inferiority before affirmative action. Its as though racism was instantaneously cured by the martyrdom of MLK in 1968, then re-invented by the Warren Court in 1954.

Its even funnier when white people make the argument, as though they are capable of awareness that affirmative action has influenced their beliefs to give them an incorrect impression, but incapable of then reaching the correct impression, powerless to treat people equally because black people just won't let them.

/news is in quotes because its from the Post, not because of the subject matter


justice thomas believes many people will wonder if black students at great universities got there because of the color of their skin or on merit because the system prefers black students with significantly lower test scores and grades to asians that score fantastically high. so the black students that are there because of what they achieved and not the color of their skin have a cloud over them too. and that wouldn't be an incorrect impression, because blacks with lower scores are routinely let in. affirmative action gives people the impression that many blacks that make it into certain universities have not have earned their spot, and this is a correct assumption, because many of them didn't. but that isn't nearly the biggest problem. the biggest problem is the state and federal governments support the penalization of folks for being born a certain color. it is a policy that penalizes people for being the race they were born as and happen to be. a racist government policy that you support. the very definition of government perpetrating evil upon it's citizens.

all that horseshiat about affirmative action giving people the incorrect assumption that they somehow are aware of is just that, horseshiat.
affirmative action gives them the correct impression, that some races are treated preferentially and that those who benefit are not as deserving of the status they receive through racist policies that put them there and kept more much deserving people born of the a race liberals don't happen to favor on the outside.

In defense of the haters, Al Sharpton really is a piece of shiat. Not saying a lot of the haters' heroes are any better, but Al is a scumbag.

The only thing you really need in order to be called "reverend" is a person or group who is willing to call you that.

If you really want to get formal and have some paperwork to back up your claim to the honorific, you can do so here (new window). A bit of typing, a few clicks of the mouse and boom, you're ordained.

If you want to go even further, you can get a Doctorate of Divinity or Dr. of Metaphysics at this link (new window).

These degrees have exactly the same validity as those offered by any other unaccredited College or University.

(I've even got one around here someplace, and I'm a foaming-at-the-mouth atheist heathen scum.)

(I always pay my taxes.)
