Stop Treating Left-Wing Advocacy Groups Like Charities

The Clintons Taught Him Well - Imgflip

In May of this year, as the Biden administration proposed big tax hikes publicly, it secretly promised its allies that the tax increases would cause large amounts of additional money to flow into "charities."

"Mr. Biden's proposals would encourage the wealthy to find new workarounds to reduce the amount of tax they or their heirs pay," reported the New York Times. "Mr. Biden could have limited that workaround by proposing a cap on itemized deductions for high earners, as he did in the campaign, but such a plan was not included in his $4 trillion economic agenda introduced this spring."

This makes little sense if you assume Biden's tax policy is simply a way to raise revenue. But ask yourself who stands to benefit from this massive cash infusion, and it all becomes a little clearer. Among the biggest beneficiaries of left-wing donor money will be progressive advocacy organizations.

Last month, Arizona graduate student Sarra Tekola recorded a viral video of herself harassing two younger students. Their sin? Sitting while white and having a pro-police laptop sticker in Arizona State University's "multicultural center." Tekola, it turned out, was not merely an impassioned student, but a fellow of the Ford Foundation, a longtime backer of progressive causes. This was not a casual disagreement among students, but a political attack made possible by one the most powerful institutions in America.

This is hardly uncommon for the Ford Foundation. The group's fellowship email directory is used to harass anyone—inside or outside of the organization—who dares question leftist orthodoxy. In late September, its fellows helped persuade MIT to disinvite a prominent scientist from giving a prestigious lecture.

While theoretically dedicated to charity, the president of the Ford Foundation, Darren Walker, has been on the board of some of America's largest and wealthiest corporations, and collects well over $1 million a year in various forms of compensation. Meanwhile, the foundation he runs possesses $16 billion of assets. Left-wing activism pays very well, it turns out, so long as it's packaged as charity.

  • Congress has the "Power" to require All Non Profit Organizations to spend no more than 10% of Received Donations on Administrative Costs or lose Tax Exempt Status. Citizens need to demand this of their Servants!

    • You can demand all you want, but the non profits are being run by politicians and they are not willing to get off the gravy train!!!

       

  • These faux charitable groups should not be getting any type of break; nor should they be classified as tax exempt.  That the IRS has been recognizing them as not for profit organziations has been a disgrace for some time.
