On Tax Reform: Advocates taxing the rich; has $500K+ in federal tax liens

West has long advocated for taxing the rich to provide more services to America's lower classes. But materials filed in Mercer County, New Jersey, where West owns a home, and in Los Angeles--the location of his personal attorney's office--reveal a second, secret motif to his hugely lucrative professional life: a failure to pay his own taxes. These documents show a total of $543,778.78 in outstanding federal tax liens against the professor, activist, and writer. Source: The Daily Beast FactCheck on 2024 Presidential hopefuls Aug 3, 2023
