Guess? co-founder Georges Marciano owes almost two million dollars in back taxes to the state of California -- the very state where he's running for governor.
TMZ obtained the tax lien which shows Marciano owes $1,750,986.76 in unpaid taxes, and that's actually an improvement! According to the paperwork, the clothing giant was originally $3,250,986.76 in the red before he made a $1.5 mil payment.
Earlier this month, Marciano announced he's entering the race as an independent. And this part is priceless: If elected, Georgie boy is promising to audit all of California's banks.
A rep for Marciano tells TMZ that George "is not aware of it."

Blogger Terri could be the one, but seriously George is a great guy. I spent last weekend at his home in the Dominican Republic, and he was a perfect host.
Parents learn to entertain your own kids.:
just because he is a perfect host doesn't mean he doesn't have to pay his taxes...I am a good neighbor does that mean i don't have to pay any of my taxes,
I can only assume this guy is a Democrat for two reasons. One, Dems NEVER pay their taxes. Look no further than Oflaba's current cabinet. And two, TMZ would have began the article with "REPUBLICAN candidate for Governor" had he been a Conservative.
BUSTED AGAIN TMZ!!!
That is just rediculous! How can he possibly think that is acceptable?? With the terrible state CA is in right now, how dare he not pay that much money! There should be a law that you can't run for office unless you are debt free to the IRS.
I hope TMZ puts this on the show tonight, they need to make sure he is held responsible for his debt.
"he was not aware of it". I can't wait to hear the mea culpa--"Ohh, yeah,.. *those* back taxes--I was going to pay those.
TMZ said: "Marciano owes $1,750,986.76 in unpaid taxes,"
=========
He's wasting his talents running for governor! With that resume he is a shoe-in for an Obama cabinette appointment!
yeah yeah its your accountants fault....he wont make it...time for jerry brown to be governor again!
Half the members of Obama's Cabinet owed back taxes INCLUDING the new head of the Treasury......so what's the big deal? Almost unheard of for any politico to have no tax lien.
Yeah, well he could play the perfect host in prison - which is where he belongs for tax evasion. However NEWSFLASH!!! rich and powerful people do not have to pay taxes.
