Clergy group demands IRS investigate ALEC’s tax-exempt status
Former IRS official Marcus Owens recently filed a complaint against the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) on behalf of Clergy VOICE, a group of Christian ministers in Ohio. Their concerns are based on whistle-blower documents provided to the watchdog group Common Cause suggesting that ALEC’s lawmaker members are essentially stealth lobbyists for corporate interests.
Pot, meet kettle. There are scores of churches that should not only have their tax-exempt status investigated, but simply fucking revoked.
