If you are looking for a cause to get behind, here's a good one. The US Supreme Court has decided that contributions to the Church of Scientology are not tax deductible because monies are given to the church in exchange for something of value (quid pro quo). Thus they are not in any sense contributions. However, the IRS has given the Church of Scientology status as a charitable organization in contravention to the Court decision and are allowing such contributions to be deducted from taxable income. Let's not argue whether or not Scientology is a religion or a cult, or whether or not it should enjoy First Amendment protection. Just focus on that one issue. We the People need the President to do his job and rein in this rogue organization, the IRS. Can you get behind this? I'm writing the President. Will you?

I really hate the way a few of these so called churches and religion's are going to eventually ruin it for the churches that do good. I have a giant church in Broward county. The pastor drives a million dollar car and a 10 million dollar house. If that's not a for profit, then I'm just a idiot...

So many things have gone on within the IRS it seems like a perfect place to completely drain the swamp and rethink the hiring/ appointing process in the organization.

I can get behind it. I am with you on the don't argue point about religion or cults, that is for the government to decide but if it is truly quid pro quo then it needs to stop. I don't think the IRS needs to be reigned in, I think they need to be abolished.
I have stated before it is simple. Do away with Income Tax and go with a sales tax. That would close all the dang loopholes for income distribution. It would shut down the IRS and save billions of dollars. HOW YOU ASK? Everybody to include illegals, gangstas, pimps, ho's, thugs, drug dealers, honest hard working people, rich/middle class/lower income buys stuff...cars, clothes, food, gas, medicine, toilet paper, furniture and the list goes on etc. But not EVERYBODY pays income taxes because some things are under the table and off the books or they are a "deduction". Taking away income tax would put more disposable income back in the pockets of everybody thus they would spend more and pay sales tax. That in my opinion would drive government income up. Some states are already doing this and are doing just fine with their budgets, i.e., FL/TN/TX.
