The Internal Revenue Service has placed a tax lien on Melissa Harris-Perry and her husband, James Perry, for about $70,000 in delinquent taxes, according to a notice filed in Forsyth County Hall of Justice earlier this month. Harris-Perry is a well-known host of an MSNBC talk show and a professor at Wake Forest University. The IRS filed the notice April 6. In an email Wednesday, Harris-Perry said she was unaware of the tax lien but knew about the debt. She said she and her husband paid $21,721 of the debt when they filed their taxes Wednesday. The remaining debt, $48,581, covers a tax period ending Dec. 31, 2013, according to the notice. Harris-Perry said she and her husband had been working to pay off the debt but had to deal with a series of personal crises that caused the couple to pay off the debt a lot slower than expected.Sorry, Melissa. We're not buying it. You're a rich media "fatcat" and you're "not paying your fair share." How dare you enjoy your lavish lifestyle while the middle class toils away to support you. You monster. To be honest, by MSNBC standards, Harris-Perry's tax problem is minimal. One of their other famous talking heads, Al Sharpton, owes millions. As always for the left, it's: "Pay as I say, not as I pay."
