Tax issues for the ELITE, say it ain't so

MSNBC's hosts have a tax problem.
A Heat Street review of public records show that a total of six current, prominent MSNBC pundits have recently settled federal or state tax liens, while one still has tax problems. Moreover, at least two other hosts who recently left the network have also had massive tax liens filed against them.
MSNBC declined to comment, and none of the current or former tax debtors responded to requests for interviews sent through an MSNBC spokesperson.
The Rev. Al Sharpton - MSNBC's Sunday morning host - easily comes in first place when it comes to "issues" with the taxman. He and his various entities-including several dissolved by New York for failure to pay taxes-currently owe about $1.5 million in state and federal taxes, interest and penalties, according to public records.
It's a staggering sum, but down substantially from the $4.5 million in outstanding tax liens tallied by the New York Times two years ago. Sharpton has repeatedly said he's worked out agreements with authorities to settle his tax debt, and a source close to him says he's been paying it down aggressively, aware of how it may affect his legacy. The reverend has repeatedly called publicly for the wealthy to pay their fair share of taxes.
Several other prominent MSNBC talking heads have settled their tax debt only after liens were filed.
