Lien on Me

The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) and its affiliates are content to impose crippling big-government laws, regulations, and taxes on Americans, but when called upon to obey those same rules, ACORN's network of scofflaws and deadbeats simply refuses to comply.

The most egregious example is the fact that more than 200 federal, state, and local tax liens adding up to more than $3 million have been filed against the ACORN network since 1989. All of these liens, which are only issued by creditor tax agencies after a tax debt has become seriously delinquent, are associated with ACORN's 1024 Elysian Fields Avenue address in New Orleans, Louisiana. That address is the official headquarters for nearly 300 ACORN-affiliated groups.

RICO, heavy fines, no more government money.

Let the dems finance these clowns if they’re still in business.

We talked about this yesterday, and if there are Federal Tax Liens against ACORN, I suspect they are most likely for delinquent payroll taxes. These amounts look like something the IRS would dispute on a Federal 941.

If there are tese kinds of problems with the Feds, there almost certainly are similar problems with the State Payroll Taxes as well. The two go hand-in-hand.

This is likely a lot bigger than it may first seem...
