Al Sharpton Unable To Leave The Country Because Of Unpaid Taxes At the beginning of this month, President Barack Obama signed a highway bill that may prevent race-baiter Al Sharpton from leaving America. According to reports, H.R. 22 contained a provision that authorized the State Department to revoke passports of tax-delinquent Americans who owe the IRS more than $50,000. If this bill becomes law, it will be imperative for Americans traveling abroad or living abroad to pay attention to IRS notices, David Kautter, a partner at a Washington-based accounting firm told the Wall Street Journal. The bill has passed and will officially go into law at the beginning of the year. That means that Al Sharpton, who owes millions in taxes, will likely not be leaving the United States until he figures out how to pay what he owes. At the present moment, he appears to have no intention of paying anything. In fact, Sharpton claims that the IRS is going after him for political reasons. Were talking about old taxes, he told reporters earlier this year. I think its political. Were excited to see that Al Sharpton may finally get what he has coming to him. What do you think of the new bill?
