The "Tax Fighter" of the 70th AD
Just when things were looking rather beige in MasterPlannedistan, I check my e-mail and much to my surprise, it’s a letter from Rep. Spanky! Looks like he going to host a tax seminar/workshop for “Non-Profit and Faith Based Organizations” on May 13th. I just might show up since I do have a few questions for Spanky about taxes and want to pick his brain about my “compassionate capitalist” plans for the Not So Great Park. Who says Donald Bren should have all of the fun in MasterPlannedistan?
I’m sure people who don’t live in the 70th AD are invited to this workshop as well. Here’s the letter from the horse’s a……I mean mouth…..himself. Just think. Friday the 13th may be your lucky day after all.

So, it looks like a primer on how to funnel government (and thus the taxpayers’) funds into churches. Only the right type of churches, of course; the ones with the most Republican voters.
Rapper.
On the day after Easter Sunday don’t be so judgemental. The Federal Govt issues numerous Grants to non-profit organizations. This is not a scam for churches or Republicans.

Keep your eyes on Congress where among the proposals being floated around include a revision to church contribution deductions on our 1040s.
That’s a big bite that many will have difficulty swallowing if in fact it becomes a reality.
While you are at it, ask Spanky how we can funnel taxpayer dollars for “redevelopment” since he voted against Brown’s plan to abolish these agencies.
Something tells me that Grand Emperor Bren whispered a not so subtle reminder about campaign contributions in Spanky’s ear prior to the vote.
