Seems to me that in an ad packed with implications, the reviewer missed the inference that pointed to 'female empowerment' and 'gender neutral roles." By having the female using power tools, she's obviously been cast in what is most generally thought of as a 'male' role. She the "empowered & emancipated female", having finished with her 'power' tools, jumps into bed with an already-waiting male & lasciviously ogles his genitalia. "He" is playing the 'submissive" female role. "She" is once again playing the powerful/dominant role.
This is a major source of tax dollar fraud and is not being prosecuted. If defense contractors Lockheed, Boeing, etc., were to do the same, these corporate officials would be thrown in jail.
Forget McCain-Feingold. Planned Parenthood can form an organization - Planned Parenthood Action - that is the political arm of Planned Parenthood, and not be accused of blatant tax fraud.
Planned Parenthood is one of the most powerful political groups in America. It receives hundreds of millions of dollars in US Federal Tax Dollars alone each year (in addition to state and local tax dollars)- which is a direct subsidary of the political activism of Planned Parenthood. Additionally, on the International level, Planned Parenthood is an important player at the United Nations.
There is currently a major criminal suit against Planned Parenthood of Los Angeles because of extorbant overcharging of the state of California for various services.
How does the Planned Parenthood tax fraud work?That's easy. The IRS has documented numerous financial scams by so-called "non-profits" and "foundations." Now any number of financial travesties can be hidden in a Foundation or non-profit by calculatedly wrapping oneself in high-minded ideals with the intent of engaging in tax fraud.
The IRS is making an effort to investigate these schemes under its Tax Exempt Compensation Enforcement Project concerning NPO and Foundations' compensation practices and procedures, and specific inquiries developed as a result of information reported on an organization’s Form 990.
The IRS enforcement project is aimed at detecting excessive compensation and improper compensation practices that may result in private inurement or more than incidental private benefit, and, especially, excess benefit transactions (which are actually illegal conversions and money-laundering schemes).
How the PP'hood-type NPOs pull off frauds: accounting entries for "administrative, legal, consulting or maintenance" fees actually go to co-conspirators who kickback the monies. Accountng entries might list non-existent phantom vendors getting large contracts for signifucant sums of money. Those funds are then illegally converted, and deposited elsewhere, and could be laundered into campaign accounts to politicians friendly to PPhood's goals.
The SEC and DOJ may also be interested in these frauds: Donors to PPhood may be engaged in shady schemes and may have colluded with corporate donors who are officers of publicly-held companies in schemes that may have included misusing corporate reserve accounts, concealing losses, inflating asset values and improperly accounting for transactions, as well as deferring profits into reserve accounts, improperly shifting capital funding to other projects to hide illegal payments to PPhood.
Money laundering schemes evade the IRS, SEC, FEC and state and federal US banking laws.
The IRS asserts nonprofits, institutes, think tanks, authorities, trusts, unoins, and foundations, have the potential for, and may, in fact, be major money laundering conduits. They wrap themselves in high-sounding causes while perhaps engaging in activities that are fraudulent and benefit insiders at the expense of law-abiding Americans.
To the best of my knowledge the IRS has not targeted PPhood.
The IRS should determine whether PPhood is properly accounting for all its activities derived from government grants, and whether PPhood is inflating legal costs, and whether it is using government grants for the purposes stated. Taxpayers need to know whether PPhood is engaged in Enron-style accounting and spending practices using government grants---which could be grounds for government fraud charges.
