2016-12-12 Home Front: Culture Wars

h/t Instapundit
A few years ago, Mark Steyn sagely observed, "In America today, few activities are as profitable as a ’nonprofit.’" Nothing warrants changing that assessment now. President-elect Trump has a lot on his plate if he plans to turn around the ship of state. But if it’s not too presumptuous, I’d like to add one more item to his agenda: a substantial rewrite of the laws respecting our tax-exempt sector, reining in private foundations.

#1 Excellent article. Please also have a look at 'non-for-profit' gov't contracting firms at DoE and DoD as well.

#2 Sadly, we live in times when the first thing someone thinks of for "work" is to get to a place where they can use the power of the state to force other people to give them money - instead of doing something valuable that they will purchase voluntarily.

Rent-seeker nation.

#4 Many of these so-called humanitarian organizations exist to further a left-wing political agenda or to line the pockets of out-of-office politicos. So yeah, reform would be good.

#5 And take down the NFL for Gods sake.

No need for government involvement -- the fans are handling it by walking away.

The NFL voluntarily revoked its' tax-exempt status two years ago.

Seems like they've been doing a good job of taking themselves down lately. I haven't watched any this year.
