Try reading the article, troll.

“I will not benefit financially from speaking at this event. My only goal is to support the grassroots activists who are fighting for responsible, limited government — and our Constitution. In that spirit, any compensation for my appearance will go right back to the cause.”

Au contrare, mon ami. I read the article, from several sources. I’m just not naive.

If what she says is true, why wouldn’t the fee go straight to those charities, or failing that, why wouldn’t she provide some accounting thereof? You do realize, don’t you, that this would be the most effective way to go with it, right? Running the fee through her bank account means she is tax-liable for the income. Even if she donated the whole lot to charity, her tax liability is still more than if she simply had them donate that amount straight to the charities.

For the record, I’m no Dem troll. I have no dog in the race. Likewise, I don’t simply take a person’s word for things either. You can believe what you want, as I know you will and do, but do not presume to think that because Sarah said so, it is so.
