The 'non-profit' world is the ultimate commie scam... billions in good intentions and cash down corrupt rat holes. When Cummings died every man woman and child in his district was getting the equivalent to $26,000 a year in money from Washington - that all went to 'non-profit' scams run by his political friends.
A reporter asked a few people on the street in Elijah's district if they had any idea that much money was being poured into their community... to a person they were shocked. And no, none of them had seen any of that cash OR 'good works'..
When you mix 'non-profit' with white guilt and a dose of 'racism' you've hit the financial and political jackpot.
