Filmmaker and entrepreneur Tyler Perry is a billionaire. His Atlanta studios receive massive tax write-offs, premised on the idea that his success will inspire others. If that sounds familiar, it’s because it’s a liberal version of trickle-down economics.
I don’t have any details about him suing the IRS but I do know that you don’t win a lawsuit against the IRS without a strong case so he probably had a strong case. If they overcharged him $9,000,000 in taxes or something then he shouldn’t have to pay it just like the rest of us shouldn’t have to overpay our taxes. I’m sure the Pentagon could have found plenty of ways to vanish that money but they seem to be doing just fine without it.
