So Mitt gives $$ to his church, who gives it to his lobbyists, which uses it to rig tax code. Huh?

[Scuba]

Do I have this right?


Did Romney take a charitable contribution deduction on his taxes for money that went through the Mormon Church, to the Private Equity Growth Capital Council which used it to lobby for his tax exemptions?




I'm inferring this from a couple of DU threads, but have not been able to fully connect the dots.

Here's part...

1. And the church fought proposition 8 in California

Mitt Romney the deformed spawn of a religion founded by a raging psychopath that gives women the same legal status as cars

2. Actually the car has better status.

3. Violation of the Church's Tax Exempt Status

This issue of Church Tax Exempt Status really needs to be re-examined

[Scuba]

5. Well, I'm certainly going to question those who choose to run for President.

7. The Question is not Mitt giving the money to the Church

But rather the church turning around and giving the money to a lobbyist group.

When people think of the Tax Exempt Status of churches they think of Soup Kitchens feeding the poor, Blankets for the homeless - you know "Christ like Charity"

Not High Power K St. Firms influencing the Tax Code

6. And he wears magic underwear

Personally, I do NOT want a POTUS who thinks that he becomes a god when he dies and wears a t-shirt that protects him from fire.

Please......
