Yet another story about a rich and famous celebrity not paying taxes! What the fuck! They have more money than they need yet are too cheap to pay taxes like the rest of us. Apparently, court records dating back as far as 2004 reveal that Jean and his wife owe over $5 million in Federal IRS and state tax liens on properties in NY state, New Jersey and Florida. Want more disgusting news? Apparently, more liens have surfaced revealing that Jean also failed to pay more than $2.1 million in taxes on his Saddle River Borough property from 2006 - 2008.
All this and rumors that Jean also skimmed money from the Haiti relief fund he set up in his name…..and this guy wants to run for president in Haiti?
IRS hits Governator for $80k

The Internal Revenue Service has filed a federal tax lien against Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger for nearly $80,000, public records show.
The lien was filed May 11 at the Los Angeles County recorder’s office for $79,064, according to a record in an electronic database that includes lien filings. The record does not indicate what property the lien was placed on, but it lists the debtor as Arnold Schwarzenegger with the governor’s home address in Brentwood.
The lien was reported this morning by TMZ.com, which posted a copy of a lien document that says it is from the county recorder’s office. That document shows that Schwarzenegger owes $39,047.20 from 2004 and $40,016.80 from 2005. The document also lists a section of the IRS code that suggests the debt may be penalties for a failure to report certain business transactions.
Schwarzenegger’s spokesman, Aaron McLear, said in a statement that the “governor has paid his taxes in full and on time.”
“No one, including the IRS, has notified the governor of any issues whatsoever with his taxes,” McLear said. “We are contacting the IRS to determine if the document in question, which appears to be a penalty for missing info and not for unpaid taxes, is legitimate and if there is any discrepancy to resolve.”
