It should be noted that controversial former IRS official Lois Lerner collaborated extensively about Form 990 information and enforcement issues with state charitable solicitation officials and their umbrella organization, the National Association of State Charity Officials (NASCO), an affiliate of the National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG).
At the same time her Tax Exempt division at the IRS was engaging in ideologically discriminatory policies, Ms. Lerner was collaborating with state officials to help “ramp up” their regulation of nonprofit organizations. As reported in the BNA Daily Tax Report (“States Ramp Up Regulation of Nonprofits – With Help from the Feds”):
The increase in federal-state cooperation is not imagined, but confirmed by both federal and state officials. According to both Lois Lerner, IRS Director, Exempt Organizations, and Mark Pacella, chief deputy attorney of the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office, information sharing between the IRS and state AGs is ramping up. Over the past four years, Lerner said in April, state charity oversight officials referred 600 organizations to the IRS, and 90 percent of those referrals led to examinations.
So, it’s a leftist surprise?
Except for entities that feed, house or clothe human beings there should be ZERO nonprofits in the United States of America. Want to push your political agenda, want to save the trees or the whales or coddle illegals? Want to put real businesses out of business by competing as a nonprofit against them? Want to sue real businesses out of business because you don’t like that they won’t bake queers a wedding cake? Do it on your own dime!
The US cannot any longer afford all of these 501’s that litter the land. I have been posting about these so-called nonprofits for at least a decade here on FR. Today there multiple times the number of these outfits that there were a decade ago.
Nobody talks about this very big problem.
