You think there's no inflation problem? We don't have hyper inflation that other countries have seen, but prices continue to rise here in the US, even if the government doesn't count it.ooge wrote: and Ron Paul has warned about rampant inflation for what?...20 years now..somewhere there is a clock that wants its Koo koo back.
I was really hoping Night that you would have responded to my above post about fixing the 501c4 law,we agreed on something before, I saw this as an opportunity to agree on something again.Night Strike wrote:You think there's no inflation problem?

We already have a tax code section for groups that are exclusively for social welfare: 501c3. 501c4 allows groups to accept donations for providing social welfare to the public but still being able to share opinions on political activities.ooge wrote:I was really hoping Night that you would have responded to my above post about fixing the 501c4 law,we agreed on something before, I saw this as an opportunity to agree on something again.Night Strike wrote:You think there's no inflation problem?

free speech means you do not have to pay taxes? if your looking at a tax dodge as a free speech issue,I see we will not be able to agree.You sound like a true believer my friend,oh well keep up the fight,I will be on the opposite side.Night Strike wrote:We already have a tax code section for groups that are exclusively for social welfare: 501c3. 501c4 allows groups to accept donations for providing social welfare to the public but still being able to share opinions on political activities.ooge wrote:I was really hoping Night that you would have responded to my above post about fixing the 501c4 law,we agreed on something before, I saw this as an opportunity to agree on something again.Night Strike wrote:You think there's no inflation problem?

To be honest, ALL these restrictions on political speech are probably violations of the first amendment protections of assembly and speech, which is why many churches (501c3's) have participated in Pulpit Freedom Sundays.
No, you have it backwards. Paying taxes does not enable you to have free speech. People have free speech whether they pay taxes or not. Under current law, people involved in certain groups have their free speech rights taken away by the government simply because they don't pay taxes while part of that group. That is a violation of the first amendment.ooge wrote:free speech means you do not have to pay taxes? if your looking at a tax dodge as a free speech issue,I see we will not be able to agree.You sound like a true believer my friend,oh well keep up the fight,I will be on the opposite side.
Kind of silly eh? A Bush appointee steps down from the IRS.pimpdave wrote:As has been well established by now, the Tea Party wants to ruin America all the time (WHY HOW DARE THEY!).
Well, GOD BLESS THE IRS, the last line of defense in the War for America's Soul that has been under constant attack by the Tea Party (a racist, violent, tax-evading organization).
As it turns out, there are numerous more organizations that need to be investigated by the IRS for Tea Party influenced tax evasion. What do you guys think? Should we all write thank you notes to the IRS for their brave defense against the Tea Party's attempts to ruin America?

and yet no tea people group has had their status revoked,a liberal group had their status revoked though. No one is taking their free speech away they just cant do it tax exempt.Night Strike wrote:No, you have it backwards. Paying taxes does not enable you to have free speech.

One fact that is ignored: for tax exempt status a group
is not supposed to be politically supported or motivated.
So extra scrutiny of "Tea Party Labelled" organizations
is not all that peculiar.
If this is a legit Obama debacle, was it set in motion
by the previous administration to create a scandal?
Sorry bud,you know I like you,I cant jump on board with this whole gold standard thing,to many economic depressions when the country was on the gold standard.warmonger1981 wrote:Silver has no monetary value according to Central Banks. Silver is looked upon more of a industrial metal now days. Only recently people are starting to view it as monetary again. Central banks hold gold reserves.
Governments don't recognize wheat as money either. What's your point?warmonger1981 wrote:Not really saying I'm with it just stating that governments don't recognize silver as money.
So it's okay to delay applications for 18-27 months (past an election) and demand hundreds of detailed pages of every personal and political belief of every person ever associated with the group as long as the application is still approved?ooge wrote:and yet no tea people group has had their status revoked,a liberal group had their status revoked though.
