The police don't enforce tax regulations. The IRS has its own people for that.

Would you expect an IRS auditor to pull someone over for speeding? Of course not, that's ridiculous.

All these church regular attendees are constantly being told what to do with their lives. "No abortion, no lgbt", etc. I would say, even if they were not told who to vote for explicitly, they are still being told who to vote for implicitly.

(Not saying what they doing is right, just saying how this whole religion thing works)

The word you're looking for is cajones. Also, capitalization exists for a reason.

The thing about the IRS is that they exist mostly outside of the consideration of political pandering. They just need to enforce tax code, not care about what people think. Kind of like a computer program. They don't write the rules they just enforce whatever is on the books. They aren't really elected or responsible for the perception of their acts. They are already generally unpopular publicly so I don't see them being overly concerned about political shitstorms.

aren't most non-profits free from taxation?

Right? Talk about privilege and special rights! I don't get why these megachurches have these millionaire pastors flying around in private jets and nobody bats an eye. Right, Joel Olsteens?

That's kinda mean toward cancer.

recently enough that someone bragged about it on /r/chaoticgood before the Snoopocalypse, which got captured in a video of people reading & reacting to reddit posts.

Was there even a first time?

You've never been to a cowboy church in the south then. Because I went once with a friend and I swear the pastor talked more about politics than the bible.

With the power, influence, and money some churches have, there is absolutely no way in Hell it'll ever be enforced against them. They'll just end up asking for more money from their followers so they can offset the cost of throwing money at the IRS or whoever they need to.

How does BLM or planned parenthood qualify here?

Especially when they're directly opposed by one political side whereas church and charity is generally accepted by both sides?

It'd be hard to find a BLM member that supports the Republican party for instance. It's a massive conflict of interest. Same with planned parenthood.

The difference is Republicans decided to make these organizations the enemy.

Did you do it anonymously or did you have your name on it? According to their form

All referrals are sent to analysts at the EO Classifications Office in Dallas. After a referral is made, the IRS will send an acknowledgement letter to all non-IRS sources making a referral, unless it was made anonymously.

They should be required to process it, but only if it's not anonymous. I'm guessing anything anonymous is thrown in the bin unless it's super serious.

If I thought the government would act on the information, this is the only thing that would ever get me to set foot in a church.

What’s the point of attending? Just send in your report from home.
