Race Baiting Pays: Guess How Much Sharpton Paid Himself

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

Al Sharpton took in a windfall salary from his non-profit group National Action Network (NAN) in 2014. Sharpton got a 71 percent salary increase!

The New York Post reports:

The Harlem-based nonprofit collected $2 million more in 2014 than the year before, according to the latest financial records available.

Sharpton’s pay increased from $241,545 in 2013 to $412,644, including a bonus of $64,400, tax filings obtained by The Post show.

Sharpton and NAN’s finances remain sketchy:

The windfall allowed the organization to finish 2014 in the black. Yet NAN, and Sharpton, continued their deadbeat ways.

NAN didn’t pony up its last installment on the $780,145 it owed the IRS for unpaid payroll taxes until this Oct. 22, the organization’s financial statements show. The nonprofit had racked up unpaid payroll taxes since at least 2003, according to public records.

Sharpton, meanwhile, still has outstanding tax liens of $3.4 million, including money he owes personally to both New York state and the IRS, and taxes owed by his businesses, according to public records. He paid off one federal lien, for $931,398, in April.

Sharpton has maintained that he owes much less money than records reflect and that he has been chipping away at the bills through payment plans.

He also insists he didn’t really get a raise last year.

“I’m glad that NAN has resolved all of our past tax debts three years earlier than our agreement with the IRS and paid part of the compensation owed to me for several years I did not receive a salary,” Sharpton said in a statement.

Race baiting sure pays well especially when you have friends in high places such as President Obama.
