Sharpton: Hardest Working Man In Show Business?
TV host takes hefty salary from his civil rights group
FEBRUARY 22--Rev. Al Sharpton, who met yesterday with President Barack Obama to discuss the nation’s sputtering economy, is paying himself nearly $250,000 annually as the 40-hour-a-week head of a “Christian activist organizationâ€--all while he is holding down another full-time job as host of a nightly MSNBC show.
In addition to his cable TV gig, Sharpton, 58, serves as “President & CEO†of the not-for-profit National Action Network, a Harlem-based group that seeks to “promote a modern civil rights agenda†and “the improvement of race relations.â€
According to the organization’s 2011 tax return--which was signed by Sharpton and filed three months ago--the controversial minister was paid $241,402 for a work week that averages 40 hours. Prior Internal Revenut Service returns show that Sharpton was paid $241,732 in 2010 and $250,000 in 2009 (both years he reported working 40-hour weeks).

Sharpton is a con man of the first order.

Has he ever paid the judgments against him for the Tawana Brawley scam?

I find it interesting how his income went from $250,000 down to $241,000. It's like he anticipated a tax hike for incomes of $250,000 and above or something.
