Chad Johnson delinquent on taxes
OCHO OUCH-O
As it turns out, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver has more on his mind than just football.
Between his tax woes and his being named in a 2007 comedy club lawsuit, no wonder Ocho Cinco wants out of the Queen City.
Chadly owes more than $13,000 in taxes on his Walnut Hills condominium, according to tax records at the Hamilton County Auditor’s Office.
His total bill is $13,063.35 and most of it is delinquent.
Property records indicate he purchased the condo for $252,000 in 2004.
It’s just the latest problem for Johnson, who was named in a 2007 lawsuit by the Funny Bone Comedy Club at Newport on the Levee.
The lawsuit claims Johnson didn’t deliver on his promise of a new Lexus, Super Bowl tickets and trips to winners of a charity raffle hosted at the Funny Bone.
See what attorney Eric Deters, who represents the plaintiffs, had to say at:

Johnson’s tax issues remind me of a song.

THE BEATLES — “TAXMAN” LYRICS
Let me tell you how it will be;
There’s one for you, nineteen for me.
‘Cause I’m the taxman,
Yeah, I’m the taxman.
Should five per cent appear too small,
Be thankful I don’t take it all.
‘Cause I’m the taxman,
Yeah, I’m the taxman.
(if you drive a car, car;) - I’ll tax the street;
(if you try to sit, sit;) - I’ll tax your seat;
(if you get too cold, cold;) - I’ll tax the heat;
(if you take a walk, walk;) - I’ll tax your feet.
Taxman!
‘Cause I’m the taxman,
Yeah, I’m the taxman.
Don’t ask me what I want it for, (ah-ah, mister Wilson)
If you don’t want to pay some more. (ah-ah, mister heath)
‘Cause I’m the taxman,
Yeah, I’m the taxman.
Now my advice for those who die, (taxman)
Declare the pennies on your eyes. (taxman)
‘Cause I’m the taxman,
Yeah, I’m the taxman.
And you’re working for no one but me.
Taxman!
