House GOP Asks IRS: Why is AARP Tax Exempt?
I have come to the conclusion that noone should be tax-exempt…churches, charities, none of them should be. Glad to see the GOP in the House asking some logical questions about the huge, political, money-grubbing, Obama-care sucking machine, AARP.
Following up on a report released last week, three Republicans on the House Ways and Means committee have sent a letter to the Internal Revenue Service calling for an investigation into the tax-exempt status of AARP.
Authored by Reps. Wally Herger, R- Calif., Dave Reichert, R-Wash., and Charles Boustany, R-La., last week’s report highlighted the fact that though it’s considered a non-profit, roughly 60 percent of its revenue comes from its for-profit insurance business.
The report also estimated that the nation’s largest group for older Americans stands to rake in as much as $166 million in additional revenues by 2014 from selling insurance policies due to the passage of the national health care law it helped to muscle through Congress last year.
