re: #271 Mich-again

You can wade through the 50 pages or so in an IRS Form 990 and from the instructions on the forms you can get a pretty good idea of what the rules are supposed to be. And the forms list all the salaries and names of the officers and also where the income stream came from and which other orgs they donated to.

My impression is that the whole industry is rife with cheating the IRS and they all are relying on herd protection. If we’re all doing it, it can’t be illegal.

I think many Big, Big Not-for-Profits walk a fine line between doing good work an being a scam —or self-perpetuating.

It’s sad.
