We were talking about non-profits.

You said:

I appreciate the fact that churchs and special interest organizations have tax-exempt status. I believe that this helps contribute to America being a "market place of ideas."

That was YOUR remark, not mine.

Then you said:

You may believe that it is unfair that Judicial Watch spends large amounts of their income on fundraising, but apparently, their supporters do not seem to mind.

Now I ask you again: what would the people in your father's congregation say if he only spent 4 percent of what he took in on preaching the gospel?

They're both non-profits, so to speak; they both "collect" money -- admittedly people give of their own volition -- but they do give for a stated purpose.

What would the congregation say if your father spent 96 percent of the donations to his church on something OTHER than preaching and spreading the gospel?

That is a irrelevent question. The only thing that these two organizations have in common is that they are both non-profits. Their goals are different. Judicial Watch supporters are not unhappy with the way their money is being spent, so it is a non-issue on this forum, especially if you do not give money to them.

So what does Klayman spend the other 96% of the money on? Does anyone know?
