Rich Ivy League professor Cornel West is running for president with the Green Party. It will never fly. Someone this hypocritical could only be a Democrat:

Socialist professor and presidential candidate Cornel West wants “massive investments” including “free college tuition” and “Medicare for All” as part of his presidential campaign.

And yet…

According to the Daily Beast, and confirmed by West, the Union Theological Seminary professor owes over half a million dollars in taxes.

Professor West explains himself:

He explained, when asked [last] Monday by commentator Charlamagne Tha God, that not paying taxes is part of his “gangster proclivities.”

Cornel West has been a political advisor to Al Sharpton. Maybe that’s where Reverend Al got the idea that well-to-do victims of racist oppression don’t have to pay taxes.

Meanwhile, West’s Marxist ideology would in effect impose a 100% tax rate on the rest of us.
