I understand that but they aren't investigating whether the donations are made to a religious organization. They are investigating how the organizations use the money. True? I really doubt that anyone sending money to Benny Hinn thinks he's a frugal man. The government wants it both ways. They don't want church interference and they want to be able to interfere with how the churches spend the money. I'm all for the govt. investigating these folks. I am also for churches being able to go into govt. and see how they spend their money. Talk about hypocrites.kolanuraven said:Red Robin said:Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch.

Yeah...but this is about all that" tax exempt" buisness going on.
You've got poor people, old people sending their last dollars to these snake oil salesmen.
They've got a great racket going, no doubt.
What's that line in that song, " Send your money to God but they give you THEIR address",

Red Robin said::lol2: and will you allow me to put the ones in jail that spend money foolishly? What legal foothold do any of these panty waist "watchdogs" have? The president can't stop congress and the congress can't stop the president. Are you so naive that you think watch dog groups actually make a dent on the wasteful, wallowing in money, vicious , reckless abandon spending that is being done by YOUR party , as well as mine.
OUR GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATING ANYONE TO SEE WHETHER THEY ARE FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE IS STUPID!
Red Robin said:I wouldn't support any of these "preachers" . I think they sure are stupid with the donated money. I am also against the tax exempt donations to a church. Having said that this is not a place for governement in my book. They need to sweep their own doorstep off. If there's a real problem then let the court system work through it with private law suits.
What? Are you saying the don't come under the 501C3 tax exempt status ? So if the governments point is that they violate their 501C3 status then they won't allow contributions to these organizations to be tax deductable. Do you want to take away the deduction from the little old lady watching tv? :lol: It's all about money and the fact that this much money is going somewhere without a tax excised on it.Tex said:Red Robin said:I wouldn't support any of these "preachers" .

The IRS doesn't achieve results with private lawsuits.
