Eric Holder, IRS officials coached tax-exempt black ministers on how to engage in political activity

Via avordvet

 

Attorney General Eric Holder and IRS officials advised black ministers on how to engage in political activity during the 2012 election without violating their tax-exempt status.

Holder, then-IRS commissioner Douglas Shulman, and Peter Lorenzetti, a senior official in the scandal-plagued agency’s exempt organizations division, participated in a May 2012 training session for black ministers from the Conference of National Black Churches at the U.S. Capitol hosted by the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC). Holder spoke at the event.

“We’re going to, first of all, equip them with the information they need to know about what they can say and what they cannot say in the church that would violate their 501(c)(3) status with the IRS,” said then-CBC chairman Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, a Democrat from Missouri. “In fact, we’re going to have the IRS administrator there. We’re going to have Attorney General Eric Holder there…the ACLU.”

    Churches are social clubs and should not be tax-exempt. A real man of God does not take orders from any government. Molon Labe (Come and get them) is often cited now. How would I say, "Come and Get Me?". Alzheimer's will surely get me and nursing homes here get $12,000 a month for such care. I can cover a couple of months and then I'd be better off in a tax-funded facility like SuperMax down at Canon City CO with the celebrities. But not right yet. Heh.
