Greedy Robert Redford
Sues to Avoid Tax Bill
by John Nolte 6 Aug 2014,
If paying taxes is patriotic (as the hard-left
would have us believe), Oscar-winning director/actor Robert
Redford is taking his anti-American desire not to pay more in taxes
than he believes he owes to court. The state of New York
is demanding a cool $1.6 million from Redford
($727k in back interest) over the sale of his Sundance
Channel to Cablevision's Rainbow Media back in 2005.
Redford claims he's a resident of Utah and paid all the
applicable taxes on the sale to his home state back in 2005, when he was
supposed to.
Apparently the dispute surrounds what the
Hollywood Reporter calls a "passive S corporation that once controlled the
Sundance Channel." Redford claims that none of his corporate assets have
anything to do with the state of New
York.
New
York disagrees.
Why not pay the taxes on principle? Redford is a Leftist who believes the rich are
under-taxed.
Instead of waiting for Congress to
increase his taxes, Redford should live the
change he desires and just cut a check.
Redford's a gajillionaire. This is pocket change
for the Sundace Kid and the tax overpayment will help schools, the wealth
inequality problem, and the homeless.
Right?
Why does this greedy one-percenter believe
he has a right to keep the money he's earned?
