Federal Government Cracks Down On Al Sharpton For Eluding Millions In Tax Payments Al Sharpton, an MSNBC host, is always talking about how the rich dont pay enough, and yet here he is avoiding his taxes. A bill was passed earlier this month that is now preventing Al Sharpton from leaving the United States. Specifically, this bill stated that Americans who owe more than $50,000 in taxes to the IRS may not leave the United States. The bill will go into effect on Jan 1, 2016. Sharpton owes millions in taxes, and doesnt seem like he will be paying that any time soon. Al Sharpton should be in prison serving hard time for this. Although, this is a start. Maybe they should let Al Sharpton out of the country, and deny his entrance back in. Do you think Al Sharpton is the scum of America?
