If anyone ever wondered why liberals get labeled hypocrites they need look no further than the queen of media progressives, Melissa Harris-Perry.
A report revealed Wednesday that famed MSNBC host Harris-Perry and her husband owe nearly $70,000 in delinquent taxes.
This comes after years of lectures from the ultra-progressive activist/TV personality that high taxes are good thing, because as she argues, they pay for much needed entitlement programs the poor depend upon.
Only the poor can’t depend on Harris-Perry, because according to the Winston-Salem Journal, the Internal Revenue Service placed a tax lien on Melissa and her husband, James Perry, in Forsyth County Hall of Justice earlier this month.
Folks on social media took to the matter immediately:
@MHarrisPerry pay your fair share!!! You monumental hypocrite .@msnbc

Twitchy was on it and dug up some epic Harris-Perry vintage tweets:
Filing my taxes. Can I just say that with what I owe it is freaking miracle & an act of solidarity that I am still a Democrat. #drinkingtea

Thanks tweeps for the reminders of how many of you are struggling with unemployment or underemployment. Will pay my taxes with a smile.

@Rockprincess818 @MHarrisPerry Lots of tax-evasion hypocrisy going on at @msnbc. I thought libs demanded that everyone pay their fair share?
