I am on the boards of three non profits 1 - sells services, gets tax breaks for staff 2 - sells nothing, gets govt funding to organise & lobby for outdoor recreation 3 - sells & gets donations, to educate therapists, no govt funding just tax breaks None promote misinfo
That include the NRA?
Selling is no problem, except when it is snake oil/misinfo Religions who sell/recruit with their misinfo should not get govt assistance
Your opinion of what is "misinfo" is irrelevant. Conservatives think GLAAD spreads misinfo. That's irrelevant, they're still tax exempt. I think the NRA spreads misinfo. That's irrelevant. Do you really think tax law should be based on "What Graham Pringle agrees with"?
We are not legislating, but arguing You from a deontological (moral laws) and me from a utilitarian (moral consequences) perspective Consequences matter, and laws should adapt to produce the most good Tax laws should serve a moral/ethical purpose and not serve misinfo which is harmful
The NRA is tax exempt while children are gunned down in school, but you want to shut down the poor neighborhood's soup kitchen, food pantry, thrift shop, and after-school program.
The last two lines are all moral goods, and should be supported. In fact that should be the case whether or not they are run by religious groups A church or mosque, nope NRA, absolutely not A denominational school...not more than any non-denominational state run school Is that more clear?
