The #CitizensUnited decision — which extended #FreeSpeechRights to #corporations, #nonprofits & #unions — effectively curbed efforts to rein in #political spending, while paving the way for follow-up rulings from courts & the #FEC that would unleash additional billions of dollars in donations. Those donors would spawn a boom in #TaxExempt “#charitable” & “#SocialWelfare” groups as vehicles for spending on political activity.

the probes have combined to raise the question of whether #Leo’s groups have taken advantage of lax #disclosure #laws to send additional business & funds to #GinniThomas, among others…. That would be legal as long as Thomas was providing services commensurate w/the payments.
“The real question then is, ‘what is Ginni Thomas qualified to do, what did they pay her to do, and was it fair market value?’” said Laura Solomon, a PA tax atty who reps hundreds of #charitable & other #TaxExempt orgs….

Perhaps it is time to request an encore appearance of Mr. Dallin Oaks before the Senate Finance Committee to discuss honesty again and explain how honest the church is.

@esther #NonProfit in the #USA doesn't mean #sustainable or #charity - it only means it's #TaxExempt!

Reading an article about old monasteries for sale to the general public and ran across this line... "Owner Maria Silvia Papais is selling it for €2.35 million ($2.55 million). "It took me 10 days to buy it off 10 different priests who each had a stake."
Does that sound odd to anyone else? #CatholicChurch #TaxExempt
#farmers be gettin dissed, like ALL the time...
Took me 2 years to finally get my #taxexempt status as an agricultural producer.
This means now that I do not have to worry that the state will come looking for gross receipts tax from me.
When retail online started having to charge sales tax, well... everything is nearly locked down now so they dont even provide a way for farmers who are legitametly exempt from collecting sales tax to do business.

LET THE LITIGATION BEGIN! The U.S. #Senate passed the the #samesex #marriage Bill that does NOT go far enough to protect #ReligiousLiberty Though the proponents claim that some #nonprofits #taxexempt status may be protected, the Bill does nothing to protect #private #businesses that adhere to their #religious tenets and beliefs.
