According to the IRS description of a 501(c)(4) tax exemption must fit into certain parameters. It is the contention of this author that Karl Rove et all is not operating within the guidelines set by the Internal Revenue Service and that his tax exempt status should and must be revoked.

On Face the Nation yesterday, Karl Rove twisted the meaning of the Tea Party and the agenda of the GOP in-order to defend operating under 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code. The code states that in order to be tax-exempt and listed as a social welfare program, the organization must comply with certain markers.

First marker: Is the organization set up for profit? This is a very good question that Mr. Rove does not have to answer since the bill that would have made full-disclosure in campaign financing a law was struck down in the Senate by one vote; it should also be noted that not one Republican voted in favor of this type of transparency.

Second marker: The organization must be operated exclusively to promote social welfare. Really? The Tea Party/GOP is operating for the good of all? Maybe for mostly Caucasian affluent American and foreign investors, but certainly not for all Americans, regardless of race, gender, or religion. The Tea party promises openly to out-right destroy certain social programs such as, VA Health Care, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac, the list goes on…

Third marker: If the organization engages in excess benefits for a select group or individuals who act with great influence over the organization, then an excise tax may be imposed. In light of the great power and visibility of Karl Rove and the Chamber Of Commerce in this year’s campaign fundraiser from anonymous donors to benefit only the Tea/GOP, surely a hefty tax outta be imposed.

Fourth and final marker: Is the organization operating to further the common good and general welfare of the people? When looking at the agenda of the Tea Party and The GOP , the answer is a loud resounding, no!

White supremacy and threats of violence have marred this *grass-roots* from the top down organization since it’s inception. The Party of No has joined allegiance with a group of individuals who , in the opinion of this author, think only of themselves and their families, friends, people they consider to be *them*.
