God, we hate taxes. They really do make you want to vote for
Ron Paul. The latest on the taxable celebrity hitlist is
Dionne Warwick, who the Franchise Tax Board of the State of
California claim owes them almost $3 million in backed taxes.
Dionne's rep says, "Ms. Warwick is aware of the tax situation which
resulted from the negligence of previous business advisors. She
and her current business management team are now working with the state
of California to resolve and settle the matter with the
FTB."
The Franchise Tax Board actually posts the records of tax evaders
online for the world to see, and listed Warwick as number 17 in a
listing of the 250 worst offenders.
Dionne is an international music legend, yo. Remember
"Anyone Who Had a Heart?" (I could make a joke about the FTB now,
but I'll silence myself). "A House is Not a Home?" "Reach
out for me?" If this stains her Wikipedia entry, I'm going to be
pissed.
