Still A Tax Scofflaw After All These Years

As opinionated as radio talk show host Abdul-Hakim Shabazz is about how much our taxes should be in Indiana, one would think he would at least have the common decency to comply with the tax laws that apply to all other Indiana residents. How many decades does he have to live in Indianapolis before he starts paying taxes here like all the rest of us?

Think of all the back excise tax and penalties he's going to have to pay.

Has the "Indiana Barrister" ever got himself an Indiana law license?

Abdul is not a very nice person at all. He's even a worse spokesman for Leon Tayloring Company. Sorry Norm, sorry Larry, I won't be buying any more suits from you!

Another good reason not to listen to this scofflaw.

The car was sold by Shaffer Mitsubishi of Merrillville. If he bought it new, he would have to taken it across state lines to register it, then bring it back to drive it.

Here's his Illinois law license:

His address is

IndyPolitics.Org
4418 Braemar Drive
Indianapolis, IN 46254-3608
317-727-1250

He doesn't even list an Illinois address in Illinois. He's playing both states against each other.

Why don't we all get Illinois plates? They're a lot cheaper.

old heap.

It's one thing to call out someone for something you disagree with- but personal attacks & publishing personal info? WTF!

Who cares what someone else drives, what's up with that?

Mr. Shabazz is a public figure and his automobile registration is a matter of public record. If he wants to flaunt the fact that he and his wife have lived in Indianapolis for many years but that he continues to register his automobile in the state of Illinois representing himself as a resident of Chicago, he should be expected to be called out on it, particularly when he constantly uses his radio talk show and political columns to tout his views on how much we should be paying in taxes when he doesn't even pay the taxes he is legally obligated to pay to our state.

Since he is a mouthpiece for Mayor Marine, perhaps he gets a "free pass."
