So what's your exact beef with little Al Sharpton?

Way too quick to play the race card on virtually every issue in my
opinion, not to mention being an incurable grand stander.

On another matter, he has no visible means of support and has never
paid a dime in income taxes according to some reports. How does he
do that?

-------------------------------------------

I am sure he receives a good salary for his MSNBC gig and is probably
careful to pay his taxes now, based on previous run ins with the IRS.
But, he's also a one man church with an "official" ordination and title
as a "Reverend" which he received when he was 9 years old.
Games can be played with such credentials. As a gag on a friend of
mine, I sent $70 to an Internet based "ministry" several years ago for
their deluxe ordination package. I received all the legal paperwork
and "official" title of being a minister and member of the clergy.
Much to my surprise, it permits me to conduct legal weddings (as long as
I registered with my home state ... which I never did) and many other
church related "services". It also allows me (if so motivated) to
declare a tax-free status for many activities I might engage in under
the guise of them being part of my "ministry" or church.
Obviously, I've never even thought of trying anything like that and I
certainly don't consider myself a "Reverend" or minister.



Don't give Krause any ideas. It's probably too late though. The wheels
in his head are probably already turning.
