Ahhh but it is based upon their tax status. It is also contrary to what their prior claims have been. Claiming to "get out the vote" and help the poor.... Bullshit. They have been and are using those who they purport to help only to advance their own political influence, which makes them rich and powerful.

All I'm saying is call it what it is and tax them accordingly.

Also, for them to now have and wield as much power and influence as they have while under the guise they have put forth is wrong. How much control or influence do they now have over the politicians they got elected?

Lastly, this is the organization that is going to have a major input on collecting the census data. How skewed is that data going to be?
