It has been revealed that noted Obama superfan Mary J. Blige hates America. She's eschewed her patriotic tax-paying duty for more than three years, landing her a $3.4 million IRS tax lien.
The queen of Hip-Hop-R&B got slapped with the lien after failing to pay income taxes for 2009 ($574,907.30), 2010 ($2,203,743.53), and 2011 ($647,604.60), per TMZ.
And that’s just federal taxes.
Mary J is on the hook by the state of New Jersey for a $901,769.65 tax lien that was issued back in February.
All told: That's $4,328,025.08 worth of patriotism.
Flashback to last August, when Obama pushed to increase taxes:
And here’s the thing — there are a lot of well-to-do Americans, patriotic Americans, who understand this and are willing to do the right thing, willing to do their part to make this country strong.
Considering Mary J owes money to pretty much everyone other than me, this story is not completely shocking. Girl's got some serious bills.
She owes:
- A landscaper $4,301 on her $2.5 million house in the Palisades
- Property taxes that set her back close to $100,000 on a home she’s been trying to sell since 2011 for $12.5 million
- $3 million in defaulted mortgages on her assorted palaces.
On top of all that, her New York-based charity has yet to file returns, is missing hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations, and defaulted on a $250,000 loan. At the time, Blige said, "The problem is that I didn’t have the right people in the right places doing the right things."
You think?
Perhaps MJB and fellow anti-American and Obama superfan Ray Lewis should rename the "Squirrel Dance" the "We Don’t Pay Taxes Dance."
In addition to being homers for the president, both superstars are vocal about their religious beliefs.
Dear God, I want take a minute, not to ask of anything from you, but simply to say thank you, for all I have.

With Mary's kind of tax bill, though, "all I have" is pretty much what the IRS is going to take.
