She blames slavery for it.  She said, &#8220;I am a child of former slaves, who had a system imposed on them.  I had an economic system imposed on me.&#8221;  So she\u2019s saying her parents were slaves and she shouldn\u2019t have to pay taxes because her parents were slaves.  Well, if she\u2019s gonna say that she\u2019s a child of former slaves&#8230; <\/p>\n<p>(interruption)<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_76054\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/LaurynHillPIX.jpg\"\/><BR\/>It\u2019s what?  Well, I\u2019ve got the whole story here.  Snerdley\u2019s telling me it\u2019s kookier than even we can imagine, and I don\u2019t doubt that. Wesley Snipes shoulda tried it.  He got a year.  She only got three months.  So the slavery excuse&#8230; (interruption) Oh, she paid the money. I know she paid the money.  That\u2019s the thing, three months, almost a million dollars, but she sat there, she blamed slavery.  She attempted to get out of paying it saying (paraphrasing), &#8220;The reason I didn\u2019t pay it is because I shouldn\u2019t have to. I\u2019m the daughter of slaves. I had a system imposed on me. The system\u2019s not mine, it\u2019s yours. I shouldn\u2019t have to pay any of this.&#8221; <\/line><\/p>\n<p>But that\u2019s not the point.  She\u2019s a multimillionaire.  She\u2019s a Grammy award-winning singer in the United States of America, and she\u2019s trying to portray herself as some sort of prisoner.  Who\u2019s putting that kind of stuff in her mind?  The Democrat Party.  All the people she hangs around with in the music business, all the leftists and the liberals, all this constant talk about what a racist country this is.  This is what happens.  That stuff doesn\u2019t just happen in a vacuum.  You have these impressionable young people that don\u2019t know beans anyway because their education was worthless. So here she is a multimillionaire, loved and adored by millions of people, her music is purchased by tens of thousands of people, and she thinks she\u2019s a slave, or either using the excuse will somehow get her out of having to pay what she owes.  It\u2019s just another sign of the cultural rot and decay.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Let\u2019s see. If Lauryn Hill is the child of former slaves, she must be like 130 or 140 years old, the mid-hundreds, if she\u2019s the child of former slaves.  She used to be in the Fugees.  She\u2019s earned a lot of money in this slave-infested, racist country &#8212; and because it\u2019s all been imposed on her, she shouldn\u2019t have to pay taxes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, there\u2019s a singer out there, a Grammy award-winning singer by the name of Lauryn Hill, and she has been given three months in prison for failing to pay about a million dollars in taxes over the last 10 years.
