Nic Cage -- Debt Man Walkin'

Posted Oct 9th 2009 1:15AM by TMZ Staff

Nicolas Cage is the new six million dollar man -- as in, the government claims dude owes more then $6,000,000 in unpaid back taxes.

A notice of a federal tax lien -- obtained by TMZ -- shows the "National Treasure" actor made a serious dent in the national debt -- allegedly stiffing the IRS out of $6,257,005 he owed in income tax from 2007.

But it gets worse, Uncle Sam also claims Cage is a repeat tax deadbeat -- because according to another federal tax lien, Cage still owes a ton of cash from three more years of unpaid debts:

2002 -- $70,190.05

2003 -- $179,738.23

2004 -- $110,617.56

Which brings Nic to a grand total of $6,617,550.84 -- almost enough for the government to buy a hammer.

Cage's rep had no immediate comment.

5. This bunch of crap Hollywood's actors should pay her takes, after all, they earn a huge amount of money in their jobs. I think the government could increase the taxes for people who earn a very large amount of money or are owners of industries, lands and stuff like that, and shoul reduce the takes for people like me, the poor working class.
With this money, the government could implement things like the Universal Health Care System for every citizen of the country. The government could do this, among many other things to make our lives better.
