ed and un able can I get an amen, boots?
"Now that tax day is upon us, consider that through the miracle of tax breaks some of your tax dollars will effectively be going to support groups that finance campaigns against same-sex marriage and gun safety. A number of these groups are also en led to raise money from other sources for political purposes, without filing the disclosures that are required of other individuals and en ies. Why? They’ve got God on their side.
Last fall, for example, according to forms filed with the Internal Revenue Service, Focus on the Family, a conservative Christian organization that promotes socially conservative views on matters of public and family policy, declared itself a church.
Focus on the Family doesn’t have a congregation, doesn’t host weddings or funerals and doesn’t hold services. What it does do, with its nearly $90 million annual budget, is deliver radio and other programming that is often political to an estimated audience of 38 million listeners in the United States and beyond. It has funded ads against state legislators who support bills intended to prevent discrimination against L.G.B.T. people and it leads programs to combat what it calls “gay activism” in public schools.
Why would such a group want to call itself a church? Short answer: money......

The oligarchy, working relentlessly for 45 years, has turned the political class into corrupt s, both parties.
Get a room.
Thanks for stopping in to share your off topic fantasy

I'll give you the quick summary.
It's re ed that some en ies like focus on the family can lie about themselves in order to be tax exempt.
Take it up with Congress.
It won't get anywhere. Too many pandering religious nut politicians.
Trash can't fire corrupt Pruitt because his Pharisaical toxic ass belongs to evangelicals.
