Cornel West Owes the IRS More than $500,000 in Taxes

close to $50k.

But off-balance zealots who mix up truth and deceits however they wish also frequently have lives in disarray. He's soiled his nest at a strangely long list of prestigious institutions he's no longer welcome at, but overall he seems to be doing better than some.

Yeah, I'm not an admirer. But, to be fair to me, I know I'm really also a lifelong opponent of far right "neoliberal" economics, which he can't seem to go a day without lying about to those who should be able to trust him. For just one of his insulting deceits.

Btw, although some may not consider dishonesty in argument incompatible with intellectual viability, mightn't most people agree someone who can run up over half a million in unpaid income taxes probably should have paid his child support?
