Guess Which Gov. Candidate Is Screwing Cali?

Posted Apr 24th 2009 3:00PM by TMZ Staff

Georges MarcianoGuess? 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."

5. Payez vos impots avant de vous presentez aux elections. Montrez le bon exemple. Pay your taxes first, you must show a good example. Are you out of your mind?????? Stop claiming that you didn't know because anybody who owes at least $300 will remember the debt. Always people who have money don't want to spend the money!!!!!

6. 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!!!

7. 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.

8. "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.

9. 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!

11. 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.

12. 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.
