ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis told Fox News' Chris Wallace that "we absolutely pays its taxes." But the IRS and Louisiana's taxmen have imposed nearly $2M in liens against ACORN's New Orleans Ntl headquarters for non-payment since last Oct. Caught on tape advising a pimp and prostitue, their tax mess shows the lawlessness starts at its three national HQs -- New Orleans, Washington, DC, and NYC.
The Pelican Institute for Public Policy, New Orleans, uncovered official records that confirm ACORN's deadbeat tax status. (Full disclosure: Pelican hosted Murdock last May.)
At the Orleans Parish Clerk of Courts Office, a Sept. 3 IRS filing showed that "Elysian Fields Corp., Inc, (Alter Ego of ACORN)" skipped 5 quarterly withholding-tax payments -- for income, Soc/Sec and Medicare levies in 2005-08, and made no federal unemployment-tax payments for the fourth quarters of 2007 and 2008. "We made a demand for payment, but it remains unpaid," reads IRS form 668(Y). Federal taxmen have placed liens on ACORN's offices at 2609 Canal St. and 2610 Iberville St, New Orleans.
Louisiana AG Bobby Caldwell subpoenaed ACORN, former ACORN head Wade Rathke, and the group's bank, Whitney Bank.......seeking information back to 1998 on ACORN and some 361 tax-exempt and non-tax-exempt outfits in its universe.
Citizens Consulting, Inc. -- ACORN's bookkeeping arm, details 66 withholding-tax payments that Citizens Consulting skipped in 2002-08, totaling more than $300,000 (online at pelicaninstitute.org.)
Since 1989, at least $53 million federal tax dollars went to ACORN and its branches. Congress should go further and rescind its tax-exempt status.

ACTION NOW We need to put all liberal tax-exempt, non-profit groups under the IRS microscope.
DO THIS : Contact the IRS Criminal Investigations Division (IRS-CI) (CALLERS CAN REMAIN ANONYMOUS)
>> To report suspected tax fraud activity, Tele toll-free 1-800-829-0433
>> To report suspected tax law violations, Tele toll-free 1-800-829-0433
MISSION STATEMENT The IRS-CI mission is to follow the money. No matter the source, all income earned, both legal and illegal, has the potential of becoming involved in crimes. The IRS-CI utilizes the broad authority of Title 26 and 31, tax, currency reporting and forfeiture and Title 18 money laundering, conspiracy and forfeiture to identify, investigate and prosecute the most significant tax, currency and money laundering offenders; and to pursue the assets of those offenders both domestically and internationally for criminal tax and asset forfeiture purposes.
Contact the IRS when you suspect :
> Abusive Tax-exempt Non-profit Schemes
> Unscrupulous Tax Return Preparers
> Frivolous filers/non-filers who challenge the constitutionality of the American tax system
> Income Tax Evasion
> Failure to File
> Filing False Returns
> Frivolous filers/non-filers who challenge the constitutionality of the American tax system
> Employment Tax Cases
> Claims for Fraudulent Refunds
> Illegal Source Financial Crimes (Money obtained illegally or through fraud)
> Narcotics Related Financial Crimes
> Money Laundering
The IRS is also interested in leadership and members of groups involved in tax, money laundering, or currency violations and persons engaged in fundraising activities using tax exempt organizations, and complex, extensive or convoluted financial transactions.
ALSO FIGURING IN ALL OF THIS:
(1) Dale and Wade Radke, brothers who run ACORN clone, SEIU (one bro embezzled $1M from ACORN)).
(2) The Apollo Alliance (exposed by Glenn Beck as the hidden hand that wrote the trillion dollar stimulus bill). The AA is a coalition of labor, business, environmental, and community leaders working to catalyze a clean energy revolution.
Apollo Alliance is related to the TIDES FOUNDATION, also, isn’t it?
The illegal activities are voter fraud, not paying taxes and giving bad advice on taxes and other items to clients. Looks like more to follow in the coming weeks.
Google VITA and VRPP and other EITC fraud outfits working hand-in-glove with the IRS. The IRS actually recommends ACORN/VITA to the general public. The IRS is an affiliate of ACORN and enables billions of dollars of fraudulent EITC transfer payments to be made each year to God Knows Who.
ACORN=Obama.
FReep mail me if you want on/off the list.
Hope they look into the HUD housing in NOLA also....
“Bertha lied to Fox’s Chris Wallace”
I’M STUNNED!!
ACORNGATE!
The Feds nailed Al Capone with tax evasion.
(Eric and Tim in unison): "Yes sir Mr. President!"
Yeah, right.
Gee, I wonder what else she lied about?
Hope everyone keeps digging on this.
Just the tip of the iceberg, FRiend......
Not transmitting taxes withheld from employees = stealing. This is a major problem for the individuals who did not transfer the money to the governments.
