I guess he's too busy trying to tell everyone else on the planet what to do and whining about racism (though he's the biggest racist there is) to worry about such trivialities!

THROW THE RACIST, BIGOT IN JAIL !!!!

The government is afraid to go after the bumm because he is black. They don't wish to play the race card. Sharpton believes he is holding the Ace..

They should check on Jackson, Jeremiah Wright and Osama Obama also, as well as the rest of the black racists.

Yes and no on that remark! yes,they are being overly cautious because he is black and a big-wig and instigator,but was not Wesley Snipes just sent up for the same thing? And,,,Snipes actually tried to but his way out of it-the attorney actually offered a check for millions to the judge and prosecutor,who both refused,saying that iyt had to be physically given to the IRS. A IRS person did appear in court and the check was handed over,but Snipes still has to serve time.

Then why isn't he in jail??

I think we should "Shut down the city" if he isn't arrested immediately..

He could share stories with Wesley Snipes.

The only things "big" on Sharpton are his a$$ and his mouth.!

Don't forget racist! Those racist, cruel, heartless monsters of the IRS,'cause you just KNOW they're not going after him because of the $1.5 million in backtaxes, but simply because he's black! You know if you're white and you owe $1.5 million they won't do anything to you!!((insert eye roll and heavy sign here)

The only people who don't know this are those who choose to believe in Liberal propaganda.

Sharpton's shady business dealings go back to Tawana Brawley...and before.

Techincally he is broke, but the reality is he is well off.

In short, he is - and always has been - a con man.

it's about time. But as usual he will use this as a racial issue perpetrated against him because he is black.

Back to basics, Spunky. First, does he really owe 1.5 megabucks? If he does, why shouldn't they try to collect? Second, if he does not owe the money do you think he would just be requesting a chance to put in pleadings? How about screaming his head off on TV, waiving documents, organizing marches, blocking entrances to federal buildings, demanding criminal prosecutions of anyone who had anything to do with the inquiry and answering no questions about his finances.

Now where would I get the idea he would do such things? Remember Tawana Brawley? Which of the above things did he not do on that case? He did all of the above.

Do you think the IRS gives every white person a pass on the first million in taxes? Spunky, we only wish that were true. If it were true, you should be on the lecture circuit charging a modest $100 to show white people how to duck those taxes. I know people who were put through audits for a few thousand in back taxes and had assets frozen until they coughed up.

No, Spunky, white people tell their children that Santa Claus shows up on December 24th, not April 15th.
