IRS Looking Deeper Into Sharpton's Finances

Earlier this week, the New York Post reported on Rev. Al Sharpton's alleged "shake down" tactics with major corporations. Now apparently the IRS is requesting information from corporate donars for the charitable donations made to Sharpton's National Action Network. Sharpton is labeling the request as continued harassment. It will be interesting to see where this continued battle is headed. Hopefully Rev. Sharpton has been honest in his dealings with these corporations in representing African American interests. Could this be a case of a prominenet public figure making money off of our backs as I mentioned in my Introduction?
