IRS won't require NRA, other groups to disclose donors to tax officials - GMDino - 07-24-2018 Just a-DRAININ' that swamp! https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2018/07/17/trump-administration-wont-force-nra-kochs-disclose-donors-irs/792094002/ Quote:The Trump administration will no longer force some tax-exempt organizations, including politically active groups such as the National Rifle Association, to identify their contributors to federal tax officials. While the effects both sides of the aisle...it is interesting that conservatives were the ones pushing for it so their donors did not get "harassed" because they are whiny snowflakes that cannot stand up for their political beliefs.

Please explain how the NRA "imposes their beliefs" on others. RE: IRS won't require NRA, other groups to disclose donors to tax officials - bfine32 - 07-24-2018 I gotta admit; I'm kind of lost on this one. Are folks suggesting that organizations be forced to disclose who donates to them?

Massive efforts and expenditures to influence policies. Quick non-republitard way of looking at things. In a government for the people by the people... Big money doesnt get to anonomysly do whatever the hell they want to our political system RE: IRS won't require NRA, other groups to disclose donors to tax officials - michaelsean - 07-24-2018 If they aren’t tax deductible donations, what business is it if the IRS?

As an American citizen do you have a right to know about big money being used to influence your government?

We know exactly what the NRA or Planned Parenthood donates. What business is it of the IRS who gave it to them?

I was kinda hoping I could be an anonymous donor if I chose to do so RE: IRS won't require NRA, other groups to disclose donors to tax officials - NATI BENGALS - 07-24-2018 What business is it of a government for the people by the people to know about unfriendly adversaries using corrupt money to influence the very foundation of the nation? So that is what is being asked here? #republitard4life RE: IRS won't require NRA, other groups to disclose donors to tax officials - bfine32 - 07-24-2018 (07-24-2018, 10:54 PM)NATI BENGALS Wrote: What business is it of a government for the people by the people to know about unfriendly adversaries using corrupt money to influence the very foundation of the nation?

No what’s being asked is what business of the IRS is it? Nobody is claiming these donations on their taxes.

Everyone paying taxes has to disclose all of their sources of income. Tax exempt organizations should follow suit.

Sorry, but that's a non-answer. By that, very loose, definition every single group in the country that tries to effect political change falls into your category. So I will reiterate, how does the NRA attempt to enforce their views on others?

It’s not with the donors. Of course it is. These groups maintain their status by following certain procedures with their donations. Determining that all donors are legally eligible to donate to these tax exempt organization is the IRS' business. This is of particular concern with the influx of foreign money to help influence elections. It's been a concern for decades. You can set up a shell company in the US and push millions to one of these organizations. But some people like the idea of foreign money and less transparency, which is why they make up a laughable argument that this is about free speech.
