Celebrity Justice
Chris Tucker Accused of Stiffing California

Chris TuckerCalifornia's $31 billion debt crisis is all Chris Tucker's fault -- at least some of it is. Records show the actor owes Cali over $3 million worth of back taxes.

According to The Detroit News, the state filed a $3,594,409 lien against Tucker on June 24 -- four years worth of unpaid taxes.

Tucker better watch out -- or Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger will come after him with his giant budget slashing hunting knife.

3. I LOVE Chris Tucker. Always glad to see a story or photo of him. We NEED to see more of him! Sounds like he needs a new accountant.

4. I shocked, shocked I tell you! And here all this time I thought it was rich white guys that didn't pay taxes! So when Obama says he's only going to raise taxes on the rich to pay for ObamaCare, looks like he may have a problem collecting all his new taxes. Got to love the libs -- "tax the rich" (but not me).

5. People like him make me sick, My children are possibly going to lose a program that they need, and he makes millions of dollars per movie, and yet he can't pay his taxes.
Come on, they should go to his house and take it with everything in it.

6. People like him think that because they are famous, they don't have to abide by the laws, and they can get away with anything they want. And yet the elderly and disabled of this state are taking the cuts.
Not knowing who will be able to survive and who will ultimately not survive.

7. OMG...it's CALI. Not Cally!! You're in Hollywood, but you don't know that? WTH? What is up with spelling on this web site?

Posted at 1:01AM on Jul 28th 2009 by back to "cally"? I don't think so.

8. Maybe you guys should start blaming the state for all your problems instead of this guy. I don't know if you've noticed but $3 million dollars is nothing but a drop in the bucket compared to the billions & billions & billions that the state has misspent. Now they're going to hold your vital services (education, police, prisons, hospitals, firefighters, etc) ransom instead of cutting their bureaucracy and changing the wasteful way they do business. And for what? Because you won't get mad and demand the state rob you of more of your hard earned money if all they threatened to cut was DMV jobs or renegotiate with the fat-cat state employee unions. Yeah, stay focused on the guy who didn't pay his taxes as if he's the reason why this state has gone south. That's just where Sacramento wants the hate to be directed - firmly away from them.

And seriously, a tax on your labor? The Constitution forbade it. How is it that most of us have to work until March or April every single year before we start keeping the money we earn and we don't see that as slavery?

9. Hey unless we know the full story you can't blame Chris. When you are that famous you have accountaints who handle all money & all you really see is what's in your bank account, unless you have a suspicioun that someone is stealing from you. So that's probably what happened wit him too. The only thing now is is he going to fix this problem or try to run & not pay. Because now he MUST know about it.

14. This is a racist move by the govt. Black people should not have to pay any taxes,because of slavery. The govt. should compensate black people. I believe that the govt. owes compensation to Tucker. This is Bush's fault caused by global warming. ACORN supports Tucker.
