The IRS recently proposed rules “limiting political speech” by
nonprofit 501(c)(4) groups. In Orwellian fashion, the proposed rules seek to
redefine non-partisan, non-election-related criticism of government abuses as
“candidate-related political activity.” As the Venable law firm notes, they label “a wide variety
of activities as candidate-related and therefore not qualifying 501(c)(4)
‘social welfare’ activity.” I discuss an example in the December
16 edition of The
Wall Street Journal:…… Although these proposed rules
in their initial form only apply to 501(c)(4) groups, and only limit the amount
of such “political” activity those groups can engage in, rather than entirely
banning it, the IRS says
it may expand the limit to a total ban in the final version of its rule, and
may eventually apply the ban to non-partisan 501(c)(3) groups, like think-tanks
and other tax-exempt charities, in the future. …..To Read More….
My Take – These conservatives just don’t get it. Social engineering is only for leftists. So correspondingly - they should be the only
ones to benefit from IRS rules. Corruption
of the rule of law is part and parcel of the left. So why shouldn't their interpretation of the
rule of law also be corrupt? See – once
a problem is properly defined we can have clarity. Now we have clarity. If ever there was an argument for repealing
the 16th amendment – this is it!
