Eric Thompson: Looking for tax cheats? Start with Obama pal Sharpton
Caught just a few minutes of the State of the Union Address last night. President Obama wants the evil 1 percent to start paying their fair share of taxes. Just wondering if he will ask his buddy Al Sharpton to clear up the $4.5 million in back taxes? Sharpton has only been a visitor to the White House 83 times since big B.O. has been in office, so they might not have had time to discuss it. Also, I am for everyone paying their fair share, but did you know that corporate America pays over 30 percent while in no other industrialized country does it pay more than 16 percent?
