And let's stop another lie before it gets accepted as truth, TPRF doesn't "exist at the expense of the United States taxpayers", it gets money from willing contributors under strict government supervision, it does not get money from the US Government.It's not a lie. In the United States a nonprofit corporation doesn't pay taxes on it's income, but it's still income!
RRRIIINNNGGGG! The "change the subject" alarm has gone off.
Income? Did anyone say it wasn't income?
But while we're here, does EPO pay tax on its income?
And are you sure that all exes are paying their fair share of income tax?
Anyway, that's how we say it here. "At the expense of U.S. Taxpayers." Don't get your panties in a twist.
The "expense" is that the Treasury Dept. (the U.S. taxpayers' Treasury Dept.) doesn't collect any taxes on TPRF's income when it might otherwise have if TPRF wasn't a non-profit corporation.
So you're saying that anybody that doesn't pay tax, non-working parents, children etc "exists at the expense of U.S. Taxpayers" because they "could" be paying tax.
Perhaps we should "tax" people for the time they spend on the internet, instead of letting them waste their time "At the expense of U.S. Taxpayers".
It's not that complicated. Further, "willing contributors" get a deduction on their income tax return for their contributions to TRPF. That's more taxes we don't collect based on TPRF's nonprofit status.
Following your "argument" Cynthia, you must be living "at the expense of the starving children in Africa".
After all, if you worked harder and paid more tax, more US aid would be available to others.
(Mind you the might buy more bombs to kill Iraqis)
And if you spent less money on yourself and gave it to the Save the Children Fund less children would starve.
Is there anyone out there that isn't living at the expense of others?
