Al Sharpton’s ACORN wannabe group in financial trouble

(By Matthew Vadum, The Daily Caller) - The Rev. Al Sharpton’s community organizing group is in desperate financial straits, new research suggests.

The left-wing National Action Network Inc., headquartered in New York City’s Harlem neighborhood, owes at least $1,556,059 in federal taxes and $108,489 in New York taxes, according to the Nexis tax liens database. Tax agencies typically file tax liens only after taxes have become significantly overdue and other collection methods have failed.

Rachel Noerdlinger, executive vice president of communications for the 19-year-old racial grievance group, said rumors of the group’s imminent demise were greatly exaggerated.
